Obama is so undisciplined and imprecise with his speech. He has already offended several foreign allies, emboldened adversaries and offered so many half-truths on his policy proposals that it makes almost anything he says suspect.

Rohm needs to tell him to steer clear of the Gates affair because it endangers his grandiose plans on health care and cap-and-trade. Implicitly or explicitly if he verbally paints Americans as generally "racists" his legislative goose is cooked.
