Though one could make an argument that this horrible racist cop is helping Gates to walk down the stairs while Obama - big friend of Gates is strolling in front like a peacock.
If the president were helping Dr. Gates then FauxNews would have screamed that Obama invited the cop only to make the cop look bad. Instead, the president was willing to be called a meany by not helping the professor and letting the police officer appear friendly.
Nor is there any reason why the state should not assist the individuals in providing for those common hazards of life against which, because of their uncertainty, few individuals can make adequate provision. Where, as in the case of sickness and accident, neither the desire to avoid such calamities nor the efforts to overcome their consequences are as a rule weakened by the provision of assistance – where, in short, we deal with genuinely insurable risks – the case for the state’s helping to organize a comprehensive system of social insurance is very strong…
…Wherever communal action can mitigate disasters against which the individual can neither attempt to guard himself nor make the provision for the consequences, such communal action should undoubtedly be taken.

I actually had a friend tell me that the "racist Dr. Gates deserved to be arrested." He also calls Joe Wilson "an American hero."
