The question wasn't would President Obama talk about the Henry Louis Gates Jr case, but rather what would he say about it?
The president joined in the debate over what role race may have played in the arrest when he said the Cambridge Police acted "stupidly" when they arrested the Harvard professor
President Obama admitted me may be biased about the case because Gates is a friend and he stated he "didn't know all the facts" before he made the "stupidity" comment
Should he have stayed out of it before he knew all the facts? Should he have recused himself because Gates is his friend? Does he owe the Cambridge Police an apology?
