The President and Professor Gates?

Post 019

There are all kinds of issues flying around concerning the recent confrontation between the police and Professor Gates.
Race issues, Police brutality, Home ownership rights, etc.

My thought above all else;
What is the leader of the greatest nation on earth doing, spending his time mixed up in the small stuff?
It belittles the office of president to stoop so low as to choose to get involved in an issue that does not warrant his involvement.
In the construction industry this is called "micro managing".
This is the act of a person inexperienced in leadership skills.
It never turns out well.
It nearly always leads to a loss of respect by the subordinates.

Then on top of that, the man holding the office of the president rushed to a conclusion even though he admitted he did not have all the information.
This kind of rash decision should make us all afraid of his power.
It shows that he does not have the caution and discretion the office deserves.
