I wasn't commenting on Obama's remarks (which I realize are the subject of this thread) because I don't really care what he said. This topic is useful if we want to discuss race relations, but the political ramifications for Obama is a detour not relevant to that discussion.

In the which case I repeat my question: you think Gates' behavior toward the officer is excusable because he was tired?
