Why would he retract it now? Colin Powell just yesterday went further and said the cops could have done with "some adult supervision". It came out that the caller didn't even say the guy was black, which is part of the cop's original explanation for their behavior... Now that we know the facts, it's more clear that they acted stupidly than it was when Obama said that.
Gates appears to have acted stupidly too, but that doesn't diminish the cop's poor handling of it at all.
