A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words!

This is the picture released by the White House of the President, Professor Gates, and Officer Crowley going out to have a beer together in the Rose Garden.  My putting this picture up is not about race--it's about manners.  Which person involved is actually helping the Professor down the stairs?  Which person involved is too self-involved to realize that the Professor might need help on the stairs?   We need to remember this picture when anyone in the government says anything about helping the average American with the problems we encounter in our daily lives!
