CBS news:
Hours after Cambridge police officers called on President Obama to apologize for comments suggesting that the department had acted "stupidly" in its handling of the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Mr. Obama acknowledged that he "could have calibrated [his] words differently."
"To the extent that my choice of words didn't illuminate but rather contributed to more media frenzy, I think that was unfortunate," Mr. Obama said in a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing Friday afternoon. The president stopped short of an explicit apology.

TJ There will always be profiling and pre judging on this Earth. In America it will be a hot topic issue for a long time to come. We've come a long way and have a long way to go. To politicize this either by the White House, the opposing party, or the population, is not going to make the country's growth towards understanding each other any easier. let's hope this all gets put to rest and we can concentrate on issues that truly threaten the countries ability to recover from the many Wars overseas and the financial crisis. In other everyone cool down, shut up and relax. It's the summertime c'mon !
