Yea, and everyone else.
When the dust settled, everyone realized that the cop did the right thing, Obama apologized the best he could (he skated around really apologizing, because he didn't want to give Republicans any ammo).
Gates realized he over reacted too, and just wants it all to go away.
And I am OK with all that. The thing that bugs me, is you have a black president that wrongly accused a white man of something, because he didn't have all the facts and assumed the white guy was wrong because he was white (if a black cop arrested Gates, he would not have reacted the same way).
If the president was white, and the man he was accusing of doing something was due to him being black, it would have fired off a shit storm for months.
I hate the double standard.
