Obama Quote From Last Night's Speech

So during his speech last night Obama stopped talking about families and rising health costs long enough to address the case of Henry Gates, the Harvard professor who was arrested in his own home for disorderly conduct after being less than cooperative with police officers.

"What I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately," Obama said. "That's just a fact."

Which I think is funny because there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos committing crimes disproportionately. That's just a fact!
