Shamelessly ripped off from Hot Air. I hope Allahpundit will understand.

From yesterday’s broadcast of FOX News Sunday. Brit Hume makes an excellent point. Why is Obama so comfortable apologizing for the United States wherever he goes, yet not able to apologize for himself when he makes a mistake?

You’ll notice he never really apologizes for saying the Cambridge Police “acted stupidly.”

Meanwhile, back at the White House, Obama’s useful stooge Robert Gibbs is snapping at the press pool.

“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.”

What does that mean? The cops deserve abuse from the president because a cop organization endorsed McCain? How else are we supposed to read a comment like that?

I’m having trouble figuring out whether I should believe my own eyes and ears or the White House Press Secretary.

EXHIBIT A: Obama says the Cambridge Police “acted stupidly.” He says it quite clearly, on video below at precisely the 1:26 mark.

EXHIBIT B: White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says that what I just saw and heard with my own eyes and ears, just never happened.

“White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today that President Obama was not calling the Cambridge police officer stupid last night when he criticized their actions in the Henry Louis Gates incident.”

“He was not calling the officer stupid. The situation got out of hand,” Gibbs said today on Air Force One en route to Cleveland.”

I better make an appointment with an eye and ear specialist. Clearly, I need treatment.
