The sending of THAT video out to the entire world would be, in a word, STOOOOPID! It illustrates that our New President, with all the huge issues pressing on the world and the US, thinks the best use of his time, after admitting in previous footage that while he didn't have the full story he was willing to characterize decisions made (by the police) as “STUPIDITY”. They then see our fearless leader, the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, decide the best use of his time is to sit and have a few beers and attempt to ?mediate/ ?remedy/ ?capitalize upon a small incident of heated tempers with racial allegations. THIS is his best decision on how to use his time?
So.. Mr. BLITZER, you breathlessly celebrate the release of this footage to the free world, where they can see that Mr. Obama has a problem sticking his nose/foot/mouth into something resembling a bar argument or shoving match between an experienced police officer (and reportedly a racial relations specialist) and a tired world traveler well educated college professor, who together at best had a few too many heated words trying to sort things out. His house had been burgled once, a well meaning neighbor called 911, they responded, and he ended up being arrested NOT for mistaken identity or burglary or anything beyond losing his temper and disorderly conduct. We all lose tempers now and then. BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO WORK ON THE BIG ISSUES. Not look like some JESSE JACKSON or AL SHARPTON impersonator seeing race issues everywhere and grabbing the microphone to demand attention.

FIX MY 401K Mr. President. Or my Health care coverage. Or my military health care and retirement benefits. Or the racial tensions in the Middle East. Or the Wall Street criminal embezzlements. Fix the Auto industry. Do something BIG, Mr. President. THIS problem was one that should be handled at lowest appropriate level, like a POLICE CAPTAIN or COMMANDER, and the private citizen that was involved.

(1) Surely you mean they waited with “bated” breath.

“Baited breath” belongs in the joke about the cat that used to eat cheese so he could breathe down the mouseholes with baited breath.

(2) When you refer to “B-HO” I guess you're sparking off the “J.Lo” meme. But don't forget that the simple abbreviation “B.O.” holds an honorable and traditional place in deodorant ads.
