A Tale of Three Quotes

Quote 1:

Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.

Quote 2:

My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.

Quote 3:

If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I’ll be angry.

The first quote is our president weighing in on a white policeman arresting a black professor who was acting like a jackass.  It was a local matter and didn’t concern him in the least.

The second quote, as you all know, is our president weighing in on another local matter, which didn’t concern him in the least.

The third quote is our president weighing in on his advance Secret Service team embroiled in a scandal involving a prostitute in Colombia, before he arrived there to scout out a vacation spot for Michelle.  It’s not a local matter and it does concern him.

Now it could be that after the first two, our president has learned not to jump to conclusions and is acting more responsibly by waiting for the facts to come out.  Or it could be that the third one is embarrassing to him because it concerns the Secret Service, and it’s an election year.  Beats me, which one it is.  Politics is always confusing, so I’ll leave it up to the reader to decide.
