And here's why Obama's tugboat is sinking rapidly, Little Joe: Steve McDonald over on the Pajamas Media thread (http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/five-reasons-why-gates-gate-matters/2/zeroed in on the Gates breakdown/breakup as follows:

steve macdonald:

As the president says, “words matter.” His original comment (which we now know was rehearsed)saying the Cambridge Police Dept. acted stupidly is as concise as it is inaccurate, obnoxious, arrogant and damaging.
His non apology saying his words were improperly “calibrated” means that he erred perhaps on the degree but not the substance of what he said. The fact that Gates continues to talk about racial profiling unchallenged, further reinforces this perception of his meaning.
his having a “teachable moment” (Robert Gibbs) over a beer at the White House comes accross to me as amazingly arrogant. I am not a fan to begin with but the sheer liberal superior arrogance is impactfull to say the least. Even when he is proven to be wrong he continues to dissemble with superior abandon as though the public is too stupid to comprehend. Dishonesty of Clinton without the charm and fun.

And if Seargeant Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department permits himself to be exploited over a beer at the White House with Obama and the greatest race-baiter of them. all Gates, then Crowlely better read again what the Obama thugs did to Joe the Plumber.

Obama is trying to save himself by USING Crowley to defuse the grenade that he unplugged and now finds lodged between his testicles.

Don't go Crowley. Don't allow yourself to be gang-raped.
