Many people believe professor Gates story is being manipulated by Republican interest. Obama's socially active benefactors have to be cautious of the spin machine and the 'got you' mentality of the Republicans. Committing the perfect act for the Republicans to move in and take advantage of him; the professor had no chance of not ending up in trouble, especially in the news. Gates is lucky they did not shoot or injure him. Cops are often manipulated or defamed in most of their experiences. In mishaps or acts of heroism cops are often overlooked or defamed. We all have to be cautious in a society where intelligence and information is affected or affected by people and used indiscriminately. Was Gates being monitored before he chose to break his own door in? Could other Obama supporters fare the same faith as Gates. How closely are some people monitored through the use of information as compared to others. Are Republicans monitoring people like professor Gates to slander the Democrats and distract us from health care?
Personally, I don't care about the details of this story, only about when do we get health care. I am sure both the officer Sgt. James Crowley and professor Henry Gates have better health care than me. People have to ask themselves when does the campaign end; so we can all work together on serious things such as health care. If there is flu outbreak this winter; will the Mexican flu care about skin color? Will the flu gain an advantage because we were distracted bickering amongst each other?
