Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. This picture becomes a powerful metaphor for ObamaCare. The elderly are left in the back, with only the kindness of the Crowleys of the world, the stand up guys, to depend on. The government has other priorities. This image should have genuine resonance. It captures something that older Americans in particular can relate to. The President presses ahead with a program that will tell them to take painkillers instead of getting that artificial hip. At every stage of the entire Gates affair, Obama has provided a revealing tell. The "acted stupidly" blunder revealed that he automatically blames the police and thinks they really are stupid to begin with. It didn't trigger a single alarm bell in his mind as he figured out what to say. Without his scripts, Obama is no longer the master performer.
