In his remarks the President defended his speaking out by commenting "The fact that this has become such a big issue I think is indicative of the fact that race is still a troubling aspect of our society. Whether I were black or white, I think that me commenting on this and hopefully contributing to constructive -- as opposed to negative -- understandings about the issue, is part of my portfolio". by Kristoffer Tripplaar/POOL-CNP-PHOTOlink.net
