Should the president have a brew with Gates and Crowley?

Posted by Martin Finucane July 25, 2009 02:02 PM

I don't think he should have made any comments at all in the first place. If he hadn't said anything at all, then he wouldn't had to have had this meeting. … Being the president, he should have taken the high road and stayed out of it.

-- Michelle Freeman, 28, Jamaica Plain

I think this will be good effort to defuse the situation. Any effort to reach out to the individuals is a good idea.

-- Shemetra Owens, 42, Roxbury
