Stupidgate, Continued

It should come as no surprise that the President was forced to take time to address the issue personally today, as Robert Gibbs, his Press Secretary and a close advisor and friend, has seemed to show quite a bit of arrogance on the White House's part. If this is how the President really feels, maybe we were wrong to think that his statements were blown out of proportion.

First, Gibbs made it political when no one was looking at it as anything more than a question of the Presidents' beliefs:

"I think the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed McCain," Gibbs fired back at reporters, referring to Obama's Republican opponent in the 2008 election. "If I'm not mistaken."

Then there is the infamous non-apologetic apology. You know, the kind you give as a kid when you're ashamed, not for what you did, but for getting caught.

"I think he would regret if realized how much of an overall distraction and obsession it would be" in the press, Gibbs said, adding that the president's involvement with the issue is probably finished. "I think he's said what he's going to say on this."

While the President is not a reverse racist or a radical, as Rush Limbaugh likes to think, he is clearly arrogant and eternally political; not unlike previous presidents, but not the image he wants to be putting off.
