52. it was a dumb comment
cause I doubt his grandma would have felt that way if it was a few black men in suits for example. Did they look like what we used to call "hoodlums"? Maybe she would have felt the same way if it were white tattooed bikers walking close by. The mistake Obama made was to fall into the same category of stereotypes that is the norm. What does that prove? He's as human and prone to error like any one of us. I recall jackson or sharpton having made a similar comment that his grandma did.
