Regarding his Wednesday night comments about Cambridge, MA police acting "stupidly," President Obama this afternoon said he could have "calibrated those words differently." I think there's a lot of cops in Cambridge grabbing their crotches and saying, "Hey, Obama! Calibrate this!"
One must admit that what Obama said Wednesday was a remarkably stupid thing from a political standpoint, especially since he's a guy who's been nearly perfect in terms of playing the political game. It was particularly stupid since the press conference was supposed to get the media and the American people focused on health care, and the media and the American people have instead pretty much focused on the Gates arrest and the President's remark.
