On Henry Louis Gates arrest
Apparently Obama in order to be more divisive organized a meeting between the two men, and after the Beer Garden Summit both parties involved issued statements.
Both Crowley and Gates issued post-meeting statements. Crowley commented that he and Gates discussed the topic "like two gentlemen, instead of fighting it out either in the physical sense or in the mental sense, in the court of public opinion." Gates commented that he hoped "that this experience will prove an occasion for education, not recrimination. I know that Sergeant Crowley shares this goal." In an interview with The New York Times, Gates further commented on the meeting, "I don't think anybody but Barack Obama would have thought about bringing us together [...] the president was great – he was very wise, very sage, very Solomonic." When asked for his impression of Crowley, Gates joked: "We hit it off right from the very beginning [...] when he's not arresting you, Sergeant Crowley is a really likable guy."

It's not like somebody died 
Cambridge cops arrested a Cambridge man, then let him go, Nothingburger. Is the President of the USA supposed to comment on these things whenever they happen in this country
Unless of course there was a great Photo Op at the end of the rainbow  |
