While President Obama is trying to be magnanimous to the episide in Cambridge regarding a good and dear friend, the Republican House is being pathetic. By asking President Obama to apologize for stating 'stupidly' in an off the cuff remark at a press conference, he is attempting to LIMIT the speech of a President.
If Mr. Cotter bothered to realize what he is doing, he'd realize there is no restraint on freedom of speech in the USA, including the President of this country. One of the expertise of President Obama, according to his resume, is a community organizer. Just because he is elected President doesn't remove the expertise from the expert. If President Obama feels he can act to improve the relationship of police and the community then he is, by all means, welcome to try.
The President is more than qualified to intervene without remorse. The country seems to want the conversation, except, the Republicans which would try to 'gag' a President.
Honestly, what next in the Republican Campaign of Hatred?
