Missed Friday's Cavuto ? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com
What do you think this controversial arrest of Professor Henry Gates has to do with the economy?
What if I told you nothing, and everything?
It has nothing to do with the economy.
But it has everything to do with one of the biggest fixes for the economy.
Here's the deal:
That health-care thing is so yesterday.
This professor arrest thing is so now.
Here's why.
Everyone's talking about this arrest and whether it was bungled.
And not about health care and whether it "is" bungled.
Bad for health care.
And bad for the President, who right about now is looking stupid earlier this week calling the arrest of this professor stupid, or the folks arresting him for handling it "stupidly."
Which is why he kind of took the stupid comment back today, though not quite apologizing for it today, in a hastily arranged presser today.
To answer a Cambridge police presser earlier today, that revealed some policemen not at all tickled with the President today.
All the news networks carried that presser.
And the President's presser on that presser.
The same ones that up until now had been carrying anything health care.
Now none of them are.
More momentum for coverage of arresting Harvard professors than ideas for arresting health-care inflation.
I'm not saying it's right.
Or fair.
Just that it is.
If only the President hadn't taken that last question on the professor's arrest then.
His health care might not look like it's under arrest now.
But he did.
And it is.
And he's gotta be feeling sick over all this.
Because he's not only lost momentum for his health-care plan.
He might have lost something else.
His health-care plan itself.
