Not sure what the point of Crowley meeting with Obama and Gates was when neither man apologized to him for calling him stupid and racist. I wouldn’t show up for a drink with either man when they didn’t have the balls to apologize first.
Fed up with Obama? Check out this song at: http://www.myspace.com/rogerweber
You’ll feel better.
I was present. Gates kept talking about the great inventions and accomplishments of blacks.He said blacks made peanut butter, the pyramids, the Roman aqueducts, the steam engine, Rock and Roll, and all these things were stolen by white boys. He said Ghengis Kahn and Napoleon were negroes, as were Cleoppatra, Hitler, and Attila the Hun.He kept calling the waiter boy. A good time was had by all.
I like this guy. He looks and sounds like a no nonsense kind of person.
I think I like Obama to be on TV more often. At first it made me sick then now I think he exposes his weakness every time he appears on TV. He is always making news and soon people will grow weary of him. He is worse than Jimmy Carter far left than Hugo Chavez..
America…so let us lay this all out!
====================================
1. First we have a black professional who blew a top when confronted by a white police officer who was just doing his duty in making sure that a house was not broken into.
In that process the owner/renter became obnoxious yelling out racist remarks at the white police officer.
The white police officer tries to settle him down to no avail and has to take him in for unruly conduct to an officer.
=============================
2. Then we have the leader of our nation…who gets before a television camera and while looking at the camera and without knowing any facts in the situation but just knowing that his BFF black friend was involved with a “white” police officer…and he says something completely degrading to the Presidential position he occupies. A position whereby he was elected to represent and protect “all” Americans…not just black ones.
He jumped back into his racist skin and spoke out of turn and lambasted an entire police force that is being paid to “enforce” the laws of our great nation and said that they acted “stupidly”!
So who needs to apologize here?
===================================
The two black racists are the ones that jumped to conclusions and went off…way off…and used racist and demeaning remarks about police officers in general.
The white police officer…was only doing his job!
But, again, America the two black racists are above giving an apology for their racism…that is why racism still exists within the black community because of poor examples and enablers like this!
==============================
A teaching moment? Hardly…more like a bad example of being egotistical in thinking you are a victim, yet again, and above apologizing for being wrong and being racist!
Just another day in the life of black America…the victims of police brutality!
Not in all cases America…and specifically not in this one!
Blue Moon? Really? Are u a girlie-girl or what.
Dude you did NOTHING wrong! You have NOTHING to apologize for! You don’t need any discussions with anybody. Stop being a tool! Grow a pair!
Pointless waste of time Officer Crowley.
sorry off topic, but. . .
To all the people that say Obama is legitimate, I would like to know if your decision was based on faith or facts? If it’s faith, I’m not persuaded. If it’s based on facts, show them to the world so we can evaluate them for ourselves!
If Obama has a long-form, why doesn’t he show it? If he doesn’t have one, why not? People that hide things, usually have something to hide. He works for us. We have a right to know! We have a right to demand it!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to send a message to Obama and to EVERY OTHER POTENTIAL VIOLATOR OF OUR RULE OF LAW!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA, STOP HIDING. SHOW US THE LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!
They did a scumy thing to Crowley by ganging up on him. But since he’s smarter than they are by large factor, they actually needed 3 to 1 just to stay even.
I would not agree to meet with those two racist. Obama Hates White people!
I agree, Jill. When Sgt. Crowley cited in his report that Ms. Whalen stated she had seen “two black men with backpacks”, when she apparently didn’t according to the 911 tapes. And, when Crowley stated that Prof Gates followed him out to the sidewalk when a photo was snapped depicting Gates in handcuffs on his porch being led out from his home, its apparent something’s not right in regard to recalling what happened.
It is unsettling to also see anyone charged with disorderly conduct in his own castle / home after the initial problem of the reported break in was resolved, as I’m sure all freedom loving Americans are somewhat concerned as well.
Obama said:
“I don’t know all the facts but that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly.”
Enough Said!
He BullShi!!ted the people for a year with his smooth rhetoric, now he opens his mouth and shows the world what a FOOL he really is!
^^ The point of the “meeting” was damage control for the One.

I’m a guessin 50 some million voters are thinkin “Obummer”….
Great level of intelligence in the comments here. Must be another link from Drudge. Yep.
What a sad thing. He seems to have completely sold himself out, not by apologizing to Gates but allowing him to attack him on a professional and personal level and then agreeing to meet with him like this. He is treating Gates with more respect than he deserves.
I think Crowley has way too much class to hang with those two affirmative action racist buttlogs and the palefaced buffoon. He’s the only one that comes across as sincere. The chumps didn’t even drink their beer.
I like the fact Idiots are calling OBAMA racist. When He called the officers involved stupid. This included a black officer, a Latino and two white guys. Man Americans can be so GULLIBLE.
Wow. This guy has a great deal of class and he is a credit to officers like him across this country. We and his friends, family and colleagues should be very proud of him.
In my opinion Gates and Crowley acted “stupidly”.
I can only think about what would have happened if this would have happened to another “White Male” cop that hadn’t had race profiling experience and tried to save a black man with CPR. Obama and Gates thought they had themselves “A TYPICAL WHITE MALE” and wanted to pounce on it. If it would have been another “TYPICAL WHITE MALE” he would have already been fired for no reason.
Roger Weber, I have put your song all over the Politico site. I love it.
The point was very simple…get Obama off the hook and “equalize” the wrongdoing between Gates and Crowley. Obama saying that the two “listened to each other” implied that Crowley needed instruction of some kind.
Just as with Rev Wright, Obama can’t bring himself to acknowlege that anyone is wrong or “stupid” except 1) Whites 2) Police 3)America 4)Bush. He thinks that he’s put this behind him, but I hope the “stupid” video clip resurfaces many times during election season.
Did anyonr thing one of the two Black snobs would ever in a million years say they did or think they did something wrong? Not Me, I know snobs and their all the same. Crap don’t sink out of their rear ends.
iF ANYONE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE,IYS oBAMA.hE STUCK HIS NOSE WHERE IT DIDNT BELONG.uP GATES BASS.
Sorry.Up Bates gass…
I guess that Boston Cop who wrote the Globe. Gets a pass.
I hope a cop carts you all to jail the next time you break into your own house.
The fact remains. Had a black officer been first on scene at the professor’s home, the professor would never had treated that officer with such hatred as he did the white officer. Gates is guilty of racial profiling and all the haters who trashed the police officer, the 911 caller and called the black officer an uncle tom are equally guilty of racial profiling and race baiting.
Obama, Sharpton and Jackson are the three main reasons black racist act the way they do. I don’t know who the white racist are anymore and I’m black. Who are they? Rush? Beck? Larua? Mark? I never hear them say what race anyone it unless they are talking about what someone has already said. Dem’s are the racist and hate the blacks and the black Dem’s hate the white ones. They all hate the Gays. Dem’s live on hate. Without hate most wouldn’t have a job.
Thank God for the Beer Pong Health Care Policy Tournament

IT is obvious that Gates is an idiot and jerk and Crowley is a very good cop.
Obamarx: The most racist President in at least 50 years.
Truthhurtz- he wasn’t arrested for breaking into his house.
Drop the liberal non-argument and face reality, man.
A 100% disabled Air Force vet here…
All these folks making all these dishwater excuses for Gates…
I want to hear Gates speak.
Please, Gates…open your mouth again. Please!!
It’s quite racist of Obama to think he can put one over on an Irish cop by plying him with alcohol. Obama is playing to the stereotype! If they served watermelon or fried chicken, that would be obvious, but serving beer to an Irishman is OK.
This Administration has the most double standards of any in recent memory.
Every cop from now on has to know that if he does his job there is a good chance that Obama will call him stupid.
I’m disappointed to see an honorable police officer used for a photo op by people who insulted him and his mother, but he agreed to it.
Crowley and the Cambridge Police Department are idiots. This whole production was set up to demonstrate
Obama’s coaching ability. They’re all idiots!
So, who paid for Crowley and Gates to come down to DC for a beer to participate in this sad excuse for a photo op to further insult the nation’s collective intelligence? If any federal tax dollars were spent…talk about insult added to injury!!
I have a doctorate in Africa American Studies at an Ivy League College, and I am appalls at the reaction from the readers here at this website. A black man cant even relax after long jorneys in foreign lands without being accosted. Rev.Wright is correct, the chickens are coming home to roost for the gentrified white people of America. Thank goodness for fine African Americans like Dr.Gates, and President Obama for leading us out of bondage.
Joe July 30th, 2009 – 8:45 pm
Exactly!
Obama and Gates met first in the Oval Office and shared a crack pipe before going outside to the Rose Garden. Gates asked Obama:”Is this where Clinton banged that Jew broad?”
Sgt. Crowley came across as a very well-spoken individual who is used to handling questions from an audience – even if it’s filled with reporters.
His answers were concise and showed he can think on his feet. he is a fine example of a sincere police officer.
Why have a beer with two entrenched racists? After all the years attending a racist church what could Crowley possibly say to change Obama?
Kelly King for President.
She is a Cambridge police officer who voted for Barack and will not do so again.
King stated that “he (Obama) should have recused himself and not spoken until he had the facts” about the arrest of Professor “Do you know who I am?” Gates.
Barry went to Harvard Law School? Kelly King sounds like she has more common sense than the president.
Guess they don’t teach that at Harvard.
Thank you, Kelly. No chip on that shoulder. You spoke “truth to power”.
David Adams – Why was Crowley there? WHY? Why would his idiot behind go to DC and sit at a table with two
black racists and drink a beer? What would make a sensible man do such a thing. He is eating this up and feeding his arrogant
ego. He demonstrated what is wrong with the American people; no character, no back bone, no sense of what is
right and wrong. Crowley is a fool!!!!!!
Using the term racist..for this is a travesty. Its an insult to those who have lost their lives fighting for equality—both black and white. People sacrificed their lives to give others the right to vote, and own property. Using the term to describe an event of this lesser magnitude is beyond idiotic.
Obama said the arresting officers acted stupidly. Like I said..there were two white cops, a black and a latino. He then apologized to the entire police department. yet when it comes down to it– Some Americans love a good white vs black mud wrestle. I’ll leave you to your complaining and whining.
This is such a simple issue. Why is it getting so much exposure? I think perhaps to distract us from the pending failure of healthcare reform. It was an integral part of healthcare reform, but it has been dropped from the package. Where is the media? They are showing us a silent film about four guys drinking! Beer Summit is a clever name, but the headline should read something more like this:
“No Public Option: American Media Creates National Diversion as Healthcare Deforms”
I scanned the comments and it saddens me how many contain racial slurs. Is it not possible to comment without that? If a Martian was visiting earth and wanted to know about the United States, he would discover that racism really is alive and well here. It can’t die as long as people, including WHITE people, harbor such hatred in their hearts. You can legislate and control behavior, but in the writings on this blog, it is clear that it is not only the President and the Professor, but Eileen with “…racism still exists within the black community because of poor examples and enablers like this”(and what about the “White” community???); Jamal with ” …Obama Hates White people!” (forgetting that Obama is also White); S-Bags with “”affirmative action racist buttlogs” ……and finally Rotney with ”
Obama and Gates met first in the Oval Office and shared a crack pipe before going outside to the Rose Garden. Gates asked Obama:”Is this where Clinton banged that Jew broad?”…
No wonder American got the President they deserved. God help us.
It was a set-up.
The Bo wanted the WH Polizia to stop Officer Crowley for DUI after leaving the party.
Sgt. Crowley conducts a press conference better than President Obama. He ven seems more presidential.
Obama is a racist. What else are we suppose to talk about? What a beautiful show of hope, change and racial
healing took place at our precious White House today?
obama should have kissed his arse. Two racists and a Law Officer…oh yeah the idiot biden too

Certain people seemed to have forgotten already that Obama not only called the officers stupid, but then went on a tangent about racial profiling, therefore implying that cops are racist and “it happens all the time”. So, save your “Obama didn’t say anything racist” crap for your friends on Dkos, cuz they be teh stoopid an fall for da lying and sh**.
Demeaning of the presidency. Complete and utter nonsense. Obama is, has been and will always be an inept President and a testment to this country’s poor judgement. I am embarrassed for this country.
Dear. Dr. of African Studies.:
You may want to learn to spell and punctuate..could be help in your chose profession..just sayin’!!!!!
errr. that would be chosen…
WOW! If we had Sgt Crowley for President, there would be MUCH more hope for the country! Instead we get people like The MESSIAH and Biden and racial bomb thrower Gates! How sad!
Crowley is just distraction from real issues. Its the OJ trial all-over again. While people were drooling over that case..the tobacco industry was successfully sued for injecting addictive chemicals and cyanide into their projects. The public went on cheerfully ignorant.
Ted and I did not attend the Beer Summit.
We prefer to make our “WAITRESS SANDWICH” out of public view.
http://sonsoftherepublic.blogspot.com/2005/08/kennedy-dodd-waitress-sandwich.html
I love how he said that they would share a “kool-aid”
Code for “Obamaganda didn’t sway me. But I have to be PC.”
Got to give the Police Officer credit…..he sure has a set of them!!!! Sitting down at the table with 3 of the biggest libs in the country takes, a lot of nerve.
The prof. should have thanked the police officer for going to his house to protect
the professor’s property and he should have apologized for the stupid remark, “I’ll
see yo’ mama on the porch”. That from a Harvard “professor”. As said, it was a
waste of time for Crowley to attend the “beer summit”.
Wow! Cursing always denotes Intellect. Ann and Barbara–Is it inept to think an individual who has been on the job for 6 and a half months can somehow undo 3 years of economic, military and social stupidity.
Where you guys during the Bush years.
Me and Mikey and that he-man truthhurtz ( I hope so, you savage!) are going to have own widdle quer…I mean beer summit!
I think its time to end the black family reunion. Every year it is held in washington dc. If you are black you are invited. What would happen if we held a white family reunion, or a asian family reunion? If everyone wants to get past racial inequality, even though in this case Gates was flat out wrong as was Obama, then national events such as BLACK FAMILY REUNION should be put to a stop. http://www.ncnw.org/events/reunion.htm
Its sept 12-13 in DC this year.
To the comment that Obama and the professor are racist—If one comment makes a man a racist or evil. What do you call those who spouted nothing but black jokes after Michael Jackson died?
To the point– when did we get so sensitive as a nation. People used to say wrong things all the time..they were verbally spanked and we moved on. I fear our nation has become so mamby pamby about everything.
Dear DLB in Texas at 9:44 pm…you know I have always admitted that there are pockets of racism within the white community!
But the white community rose above racism in this last election and voted the first half black man into the White House to run this country…without experience and without credentials.
What do you call that? Do you still think that white Americans are racists?
But what was personified during this last public episode, was blatant…outright in your face racism by a black professional man who is a “teacher” and a black politician who is the “President”!
It was a poor example to all of America what these two highly educated men did under the guise of racism!
It took this country back years…what these two black men did!
By not apologizing to all police officers (both black and white) around this nation…they made a huge mistake and said to all racists in the black community that they were justified in their actions…they were not!
I observe and read more racism from the black community than anywhere else. They want reparations for past slavery that modern America has nothing to do with. They have achieved positions that I could not, and have not, achieved! They had all the opportunities and achieved great success in their own right.
They are in positions of influence over others and yet, here they are, both of them exercising and showing to all of black America it is above them to apologize for their remarks and that they fell, yet again, into the pit of racism and by doing so they are perpetuating racism.
If you cannot see that, you are as blind as they are!
That is what is wrong with black and white in America…the blacks refuse…refuse…to acknowledge that they are responsible for their own actions. They have to stop believing the lies that they are victims, which causes them to continue to be victims.
Their own people…black leaders like this Professor and the President are making them victims, yet again! Black leaders in America have become the new slave owners of black America…and the plantation…is the inner city!
When they didn’t apologize for their racist remarks…they were saying to young black men/women all over this great nation…you will be victimized and don’t apologize…whitey is the man!
Not true, America, not true!
Enough said!
There goes ol’ thruthyhurtz again! Lying and making excuses for his Obama train wreck of an administration!
‘Cordial and Productive’: Cambridge Police Sgt. Crowley Says No One Apologized
If one comment makes a man a racist or evil. What do you call those who spouted nothing but black jokes after Michael Jackson died?
To the point– when did we get so sensitive as a nation. People used to say wrong things all the time..they were verbally spanked and we moved on. I fear our nation has become so mamby pamby about everything.
My vote for Obama was a huge mistake.. He is wrost then GWB.. I thought I’d never say that, but Obama is ruinning our country..
Gates didn’t just make one comment. His entire career has been based on racism. Just look at his yale application. He more recently was called in as an expert witness in a trial where at the end a judge ruled against him because he said Gates was just wrong (and it was a black judge).
As for Obama, he went to Mr Wright’s church for 20 years. Mr. Wright is a racist. Based on that one statement Obama made on national tv, it showed his true colors. He is like minded as Mr. Wright and Gates.
If you can’t see that then you are blind. You ask how did this nation get so sensitive. How would you feel if you were falsely accused as was that police officer? I bet if you were in his shoes you would expect an apology.
Amy. I have to ask..why do you think that?..Obama passed one economic stimulus bill. GW Bush Passed the first two (Both wall street bail outs in the trillions).
Because if I thought like that, i would have to assume your friends/ workmates or others who have said racist jokes in your presence..would–by implication or association make you racist. And that’s just silly.
The president apologizes on camera. To do it again would feed the right wing media machine–IE Rush Dimbulb and Glen heck.
obama and gates are racists and we shouldn’t have expected an apology from either of them. they are both harvard radical racist elitists. companies should not hire harvard graduates. it graduates racists like obama and professors like gates. harvard is a disgrace.
Well it appears not to have been a teachable moment because the President obviously did learn a thing. He is s till a racist and an ingrate despite all this country has done to him. Wonder if Sgt Crowley would have like to have gone to Harvard and Columbia for free…I know I would have. Yet despite neither Crowley or myself being treated that well by the country, we still love it. The POTUS…well he is still ashamed of tis great country and can’t seem to be convinced that cops do not exist simply to chase minorities through the streets
All of this is good, Obama looks foolish, his poll numbers are dropping like a lead zeppelin, but dang, this all hacks me off to no end…Here we listened to Obama for a year or two thinking to ourselves..”you know,..for a black guy, he isn’t too bad, he sounds nothing like all these other “black leaders” who are just one trick ponies who scream racism at the drop of a hat, nice for a change to see a black man who isn’t rediculous about making racial accusation at every turn…kinda,…kinda like Colin Powell…”
DOH!!!!! bad example… and there’s the rub, we, black nor white can discuss race without the divide growing deeper and wider..no matter how far we go in life, those things are ingrained in us…and it never gets much better, because we ALWAYS make a distiction in race…black this, black that, black, black, black,….latino, latino, whites, whites, whites ect. and we both believe we’re right, of course race had nothing to do with it vs. race has everything to do with it.oy..and the man we thought was above all that had a press confrence two weeks ago and at the end of it, he pulled off the mask he was wearing and revealed Al Sharpton who said the Cambridge police acted stupidly…I was angry and overjoyed at the same time!!! How dare he say that!!! and then,..He IS SO SCREWED NOW!!!! Let’s just hope this goes on and on till Obama’s poll numbers are down to 13 percent approval rating,…(btw, the poll numbers will never, ever go below 13 percent because….uh..eerr…oh, just read this paragraph from the begining for the explanation for that anomoly…
A cop’s job is to keep the peace…..not to administer punishment. This is what Crowley did when gates started acting crazy. Crowley defused the situation by taking gates into custody and the courts decided no punishment was warranted. Looks like the system worked as designed. If you act like a nut in public during a police investigation you will get arrested. The other option the cop has is to ignore the nut and hope nothing worse happens after he leaves. A cop can’t take that chance.
No this is a teachable moment. It teaches everyone that race issues have not been dealt with. That Gates has allowed perceived and real slights to jade his mind when it comes to authority. And others fall back to their security blankets of racist slurs and condemnations. Fighting fire with fire only leads to more houses being burned down. I expected better behavior from the POTUS, our law enforcement and our educators. Believe me no-one came out of this looking good.
The beer summit has taken place in the Rose Garden with the two racists present.
Now it turns out that one of the racists, Mr Gates, has now come out and said that Sgt Crowley must feel vulnerable and that he FALSIFIED his police report!
Obama, how is your change working for you? You support a racist. YOU are a racist. And the racist once again attacks the Cambridge Police officer, Sgt Gates!! How despicable!
The Racist (in Chief) of the United States! ROTUS!!!
where is my comment i posted at 10:33pm?
ROTUS!!!
ROTUS~
ROTUS!!
IMPEACH obama NOW SAVE AMERICA 
HEY obama WHERE IS YOUR LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
HEY obama YOU CAN NOT GET A PASSPORT WITH A LIVE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
SARA HAD A HIGHER SECURITY CLEARANCE THAT you OR MCCAIN.
Robert, your 10:33 comment is right where you left it! lol @10:33!!!!
Mesndblues ..I believe you are quoting the Bush numbers of 13% approval. This nation is stronger than its leaders…We have survived Bush, we will as you have said survive Obama. But don’t you want the nation to do more than just survive.
I want to be able to say (like my grandfather who was a WW2 veteran). When the going gets tough..the tough get goin. Not all of this finger pointing nonsense.
What a surprise. A bunch of white republican folks supporting a white cop vs a black guy. That is NEW. Way to pick a team and stick with it through thick and thin.
I wonder (and maybe you will too if you have a mind with an inch of an opening) how you guys would feel if some cop comes into your house investigating a burglary only to find out that you are in your own house…. then, instead of getting the hell outa there when you are obviously pissed about the police in your house (after they have determined that there is no crime), the cop ARRESTED YOU for being pissed. Maybe you even say a few unfair things (like “you are a racist”…. remember republicans, there are black cops too.) The point is, all you sheep are pissed about this because Drudge and bill o reilly say you should be and not because you’ve exercised any independent thought here. Really, you think he should have got arrested? What if he were white? Still arrested? Sure.
What ever happened to conservatives wanting the state to get out of their business? the cops are “the state” after all. I vote dem in (large) part because I actually want the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments enforced (admittedly not at issue in this case as Officer Crowly didn’t violate it – but related as it involves police power). Those amendments are the ones that protect all of us from…. the cops. you know, our freedom. From the state. But, all your conservative justices are the ones that allow for all those “exceptions” to your rights…. But, go ahead and believe what you want. I just hope you keep your noses clean.
I am speculating that “the teachable” element of this incident is an attempt by Gates and Obama to somehow elevate this incident into a national dialogue of two sides, with each seeing the same incident very differently because of race and perceived racism. I personally think Gates overreacted in the incident, based on what I have heard thus far. Having said that, I think Gates might eventually come to see this as something inside of himself–a Black Man’s fear of police–that he never quite fully admitted to himself. He reacted like a scared child instead of a proud professor. He is probably shocked that he lost control. Who is right and who is wrong? That’s a question for perhaps petty people wanting to keep score. I think Gates knows he overreacted, and he wants other Blacks to see that this fear is inside of them about the police–and sometimes it is very warranted, and sometimes it is not, as in Gates’ case–but I think it is too complicated to really teach something really palpable. I do hope I’m wrong. But, politics also tends to destroy these types of learning moments, rather than encourage them. Okay, you nitwits can fire your cannons at the bow of my ship now. Commence firing.
MESNDBLUES, you said, “quoting the Bush numbers of 13% approval”.
Why do you just MAKE UP numbers?! Show us where President Bush’s numbers were ever at 13%! They NEVER were!
Obviously you just made that up! Or you may have confused them with the approval numbers for Nancy Pelosi and Congress…and actually THOSE numbers were as low as 12%!!!
So which is it, MESN? Did you lie? Did you make the numbers up? Or were you referring to Pelosi’s approval rating? We will wait for your answer!
Well, OBVIOUSLY in the last election, THE STUPID VOTED OBAMA, THE MESSIAH!!!
Eileen hit the nail on the head exactly. Could not have said it better myself.
Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley spoke after meeting with President Barack Obama and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., along with Vice President Joe Biden. Crowley described himself and Gates as “two gentlemen who agreed to disagree” about the confrontation that led to Gates’ arrest.”
——————-
First of all, why was Biden there? Maybe a three against one? I think that Crowley was the gentlemen because he had no reason to apologize and what I can’t believe is that neither Gates nor Obama gave that man an apology. You can see Crowley sitting up straight, a little on the edge of his seat, Obama laid back as if he’s at some picnic. Gates seems to still be angry and Biden looks to be talking as usual.
This is probably one of dumbest things I’ve seen a president and vice president do. If Crowley made the suggestion, I’m sure he meant it as one guy to another, hanging at the local bar kicking one back, not on the WH lawn with the vice president and the national media looking on.
Obama will do anything to get the media’s attention and try to use it as ‘learning experience’ — what b.s. that was too.

Obama is using these individuals for his own agenda.
Obama does not have a clue to what is going on around the world.
I am a black man who thinks Obama is a racist and he is playing the white race.
I hope one day he is exposed even further..I am sick of this guy giving people of color bad name…
He is an elite who went to private schools, top notch colleges and still not happy.
What is wrong with America today? Where did my country go? Obama does not act like a president..
