Inviting them for a beer to the White House is just goofy.
I sure hope Sgt. Crowley "finds" that he's going to be on duty or something and has to, regretfully  , pass on the President's invite. Maybe the Prez and the Prof will decide to just tip one on their own, with the press invited, of course.

What I am stunned about and nobody mentions this is why did BHO assume the police going there was racially motivated? Everybody keeps talking about it as though it was a racial issue. That couldn't be further from the truth. It wouldn't have been a racial issue period if the Professor hadn't made it one. He immediately accused the officer of that before he even proved who he was. The entire blame falls squarely on his shoulders and I get really ticked each time I hear both BHO's and Gates half ass explanations. The Officer doesn't need to learn a lesson from this, he was doing his job and did it correctly, race didn't enter into it. Barack Hussein Obama and his buddy Prof Gates needs to learn a lesson from this that not everything is about their race. They need to get over that.
You don't hear anything about the Professors ridiculous and childish behavior that caused him to have that outcome, but "he's" willing to move on? I should think he would because most people would be embarassed by it.
Inviting them for a beer to the White House is just goofy. If that would have been President Sarah Palin who suggested such a thing the libs would be calling her trailer trash for that. What's up with this Prez and his booze anyway? I can't think of any former Prez who talks about drinking and having as many social events involving booze as this one. If they did, they at least used discretion and didn't advertise it.
I want my Prez sober at all times. That goes with the territory. Same should go for VP Little Joey Biden.

Now it is time to move forward and put this to bed.
I agree, but Obama (and the Professor) need to do something about those big chips on their shoulders. In Obama's case, we all know and have seen it's there now, in his own words so-to-speak, so the next time he sticks that foot in his mouth he won't get the "pass" he did this time. Did he learn something from this? I doubt it. He spent too much time listening to Rev. Wright to see the need for change.

His choice of words were: “Police had ‘acted stupidly' by arresting Gates” – I don’t know, but in anyone’s vocabulary that is in fact maligning the Cambridge police department. Secondly, where did he chastise Mr. Gates for making racial slurs to the officer – seems like it is a double standard – is it because Mr. Gates is African American or because he is an acquaintance of President Obama – either way, it sure reeks of a double standard and favoritism to me.
Let's face it! Everyone over-reacted in this debacle. The president did not respond appropriately, hence the second statement, but maybe we need to put this in context. Dr. Gates is a person who has spent his life dealing with racism. I'm sure he was actively involved in the civil rights movement and knows first hand the history of racial injustice. The police CAN BE very intimidating and obviously Dr. Gates behaved in a less than stellar way. Now it is time to move forward and put this to bed.

I would hope that the President of the United States would always be thinking with his head. But I guess this particular President doesn't...to bad.
The last didn't either tho..."always" is probably not realistic.

I think it stems from both his resentment of police as a black man showing through loud and clear (that is why he is trying to build his own private force) and secondly the fact he has an axe to grind with them for all the parking tickets he had to pay for before he could campaign for the Presidency, something like 17 of them. Same police force.
I think his phony offer to have him and the professor for a beer was the worst thing he has said about this yet. Trying to act the big shot, calling this a "learning moment". How disingenuous and demeaning to the officer as though this was merely a personal tiff. It wasn't the officer who was screaming at the professor irrationally and the officer was there in an official capacity, not a social call. The professor is still out there saying it was racial and of course, it just wasn't. Al Sharpton has already come out and praised the Messiah for speaking out on this, these people are just ridiculous in how eager they are to use the race card. I really thought all this was behind us but apparently this Prez want's to keep it going.

Cop Tells Obama: I Didn't Vote for You and Won't Apologize
Thursday, July 23, 2009 8:44 PM
By: Newsmax Staff
The police officer at the center of a national racial firestorm triggered by President Barack Obama told an interviewer Thursday that he had nothing to apologize for in the arrest of a black Harvard scholar, and that the president he didn’t vote for should have more carefully considered his words.
“The apology won’t come from me, I’ve done nothing wrong,” Sgt. James Crowley told Carl Stevens of WBZ News Radio in Boston.
A well-regarded officer who is himself an expert on racial profiling, Crowley responded to a call at the Cambridge home of Henry Louis Gates Jr. last week to investigate a report of a burglary. Confronting Gates and another man who appeared to have forced open the door of the homne, Crowley asked Gates to show him identification.
Gates at first refused and accused Crowley of racism. The professor, a close friend of Harvard alumnus Barack Obama, was charged with disorderly conduct. The charge was dropped Tuesday, and Gates has since demanded an apology from Crowley.
In a four-minute interview outside his home, Crowley revealed that:
Gates escalated the situation by yelling and refusing to calm down, calling Crowley a racist, and referring to his mother.
He was the police officer who tried to save the life of former Boston Celtics player Reggie Lewis, a black man, who collapsed and died during an off-season workout at Brandeis University. Crowley said he was still very shaken by that event.
Crowley said he didn’t vote for Obama, but supports the president 110 percent. He also suggested that the president was siding with his friend Gates, and he probably would have done the same in a similar situation.
Though he said he would do everything exactly the same way again, Crowley did express regret at the media attention and pressure the event has brought on his friends and family.
“I acted appropriately. Mr. Gates was given plenty of opportunity to stop what he was doing,” Crowley said in the interview. “He didn’t. He acted very irrational, and he controlled the outcome of that event.”
“There was a lot of yelling. There was references to my mother,” Crowley said. “Something you wouldn’t expect from anybody who should be grateful you’re there investigating the report of a crime in progress, let alone a Harvard University professor.”
The reporter then referred to the death of Lewis, explaining he worked the scene that night when Crowley tried to save the player’s life.
“I was a police officer at Brandeis University at the time and I was responding to a medical call and had the unfortunate experience of trying to revive somebody who was probably already gone,” Crowley said. “It was very tough emotionally dealing with that as well.”
The reporter than asked him to respond to the charges that he is a racist.
“It almost doesn’t warrant a comment. My friends, my family my colleagues – those people whose opinions mean the most to me – they know who I am, they know what I am and what I am not. It’s an unfortunate thing that the professor other other people even mentioned that.”
Asked what he thought of the president’s comments, Crowley immediately replied, “I didn’t vote for him,” and then smiled.
“When he said the Cambridge police acted stupidly, he was talking about you,” the interviewer asked. “What was your reaction to that?
“My only reaction, somebody had told me what he said. I didn’t hear the press conference but I did listen afterwards and I support the president of the United States 110 percent. I think he’s way off base wading into a local issue without knowing all the facts as himself stated before making that comment so again, I don’t know what to say about that. I guess a friend of mine would support my position too.”
Are you able to do your job, Crowley was finally asked.
“Sure. I absolutely will. This will not distract me from doing what it is I do. And if a similar call came in tomorrow, I wouldn’t shy away from responding and I’d do what I have to do.”
Asked if should have done anything different, Crowley responded bluntly: “No.”

Cosby Slams Obama for Using the Race Card
On a Boston radio program this morning, Bill Cosby suggested that President Obama spoke too soon on the controversial arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.“I’ve heard about five different reports [on the details of the arrest],” Cosby said on Boston’s WZLX. “If I’m the president of the United States, I don’t care how much pressure people want to put on it about race, I’m keeping my mouth shut.”

| By placing the stimulus funds under control of Joe Biden, Obama doomed the program from the start. Biden is a fool..... Obama should have known better than to trust Joe.

What Stimulus?
Then: We’ll see the effects of the Stimulus begin almost immediately.
Now: The promised jobs and growth have not materialized.
Then: The initial measure of success is creating or saving four million jobs.
Now: There are 2.6 million fewer Americans working today than on inauguration day
Then: The unemployment rate will top out in the 3rd quarter just over 8.0% Now: The unemployment rate is now 9.5% and it’s only the beginning of the 3rd
quarter.
Then: Most of the Stimulus money will go out the door immediately.
Now: Less than 8% of the Stimulus has been spent in the 6 months since its
passage.
Then: Stimulus money will be temporary spending.
Now: Looks like much of the Stimulus spending will become permanent.
And, Obama declared in last weekend’s radio address, there’s nothing we would have done differently. Really?
Obama is attempting to shape his presidency based on his own peculiar political personality carved out of a mountain of random eloquence. The Speech is the primary vehicle of Obama's politics. Unfortunately, nothing comes after the speech. There's a big disconnect between Obama's ideas and actions.

A human moment, of course; if I had a dime for every time I tripped through a doorway, I’d be rich enough to pay a health-care surtax. However, Gerald Ford’s critics skewered him for tripping and defined him as a clumsy oaf, even though Ford may have been one of the most athletic presidents in modern history. The Left still makes pretzel jokes about George Bush. So here’s Barack Obama, not gliding through a doorway in L’Aquila, Italy (via William Amos):

Who is the PREZ lookin' at there? A 17 year old girl.....The press tried to spin this photo shot by showing the video and will say he didn't STARE but he certainly looked. What really cracks me is Sarkozy, he doesn't even try to hide it. Oooh la la.

Hey Razenkn! Did you hear the news? Your Caribou Barbie threw in the towel. The Alaska Airhead couldn't even finish out a first term.

I've never been a fan of Helen Thomas but have to say she was spot on with this but what I liked the best about it is she didn't let the idiot Bobby Gibbs dismiss her like he does so often when he doesn't want to answer the question. He giggled like a nervous girl, I think she scares him. LOL.. He's an arrogant ass just like most of the WH staff and doesn't really seem to understand who his real boss is much like his boss.

Barack Hussein Obama is not the cool unflappable cucumber he tries to portray. He is a very measured, cold and angry narcissist and it comes to the surface in his body language and his "stink eye" when he isn't performing in front of the camera, he forgets sometimes the camera is always on. He's every bit as angry as Michelle only he hides behind his manufactured facade better than Michelle, she's so angry she can't help herself because she is so self righteous and believes she should be that way.
Her new handlers are helping her to hide it better but the LOOK still comes through much like it did in France at Sarkozy's wife. They are a scary duo. And now she is stepping forward to become more involved in his agenda as though the thought just came to her, uhhh huh, yeah.

Beware The Obama 'Evil Eye'
Tue Jun 30 2009 07:43:56 ET
As the summer begins, White House watchers have spotted a new look by President Obama: The Evil Eye!
Staffers have joked about the menacing glance, which comes when the president meets with world leaders who are not aligned with his progressive view.
White House photographers have captured the "evil eye" in recent weeks, during sessions with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Colombia's Alvaro Uribev.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi got hit with the commander's malocchio last week in the Oval office.
And at least one White House reporter has been on the receiving end of the daggers during a press conference.

MICHELLE WANTS TO PLAY A BIGGER ROLE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.....
Friday, June 26, 2009 2:01 PM
By: Dave Eberhart
With her new chief of staff in high gear, first lady Michelle Obama wants to embark on an ever more relevant role in the White House — one that places her as a salient force behind her husband’s political agenda, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Her new chief of staff, Susan Sher, 61, is tasked with keeping the first lady and her team a significant blip on the West Wing’s radar screen.
To augment Sher, Obama is bringing in a fresh speechwriter who can cope with her new strategic ploy of making each and every event reverberate with purpose and message.
“Her desire is to step out more and have deliverables,” communications chief Camille Johnston told the Post. “It’s about things that are coming up that we want to be a part of: child nutrition reauthorization act, prevention and wellness for healthcare reform.”
For sure, these days Obama has been more out front touting the specifics of the president’s health plan. She is slated to soon unveil an advisory board to help military families. Furthermore, she just launched the administration’s “United We Serve,” a summer-long national service program.
Every Michelle Obama event, down to the most casual, must be more than just grip and grin. For instance, the Post pointed out, before the annual White House barbecue this week, the 500 guests gathered at nearby Fort McNair to stuff backpacks with treats for the children of military personnel.
Early on when first organizing and orienting her staff, Obama made it clear that they were to avoid East Wing-West Wing tensions that have in the past foiled the “seamless” interaction between the first lady’s staff and the president’s.
Sher is the architect of just how to best put the first lady in the game. “The key is you can get schedule-driven as opposed to being strategy-driven. You could spend all your time yes-no, yes-no — as opposed to [deciding] what are the things that we really should be working on,” she told the Post.
Attorney Sher hit the ground running in her new post, ramping up interaction with Anita Dunn, the West Wing’s communications director. “Anita is paying attention to us over here,” Sher said.
Obama has gathered a cadre of trusted associates to propel her legacy forward. Jocelyn Frye, a friend from Harvard Law School, is the first lady’s policy director. A Washington native, she has been instrumental in getting Obama to visit the District’s homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and schools.
To date, Obama has interacted with students from no less than 30 Washington schools, topping off her aggressive outreach to the community by developing the first White House summer internship program for D.C. high school students.
But Michelle Obama is just getting warmed up with her mission to be the most relevant first lady in history.
Each morning, Sher attends White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s staff meeting. Meanwhile, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, the first lady’s press secretary, is right there at White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ daily meetings.
They’re all focused on raising the stakes. “It isn’t just about hugging,” Sher said. “Whatever she talks about will bring press and interest, but it’s important that she’s not just talking [but] actually moving forward on those issues.”
Case in point: This week, Michelle Obama added her own star power to Jon Bon Jovi and Matthew McConaughey, who joined her and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and others in San Francisco to speak to the National Conference for Service and Volunteering, according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger.

Obama is nothing more than a flash in the pan. The glitter won't last. In fact, it's beginning to fade already.

Bitsy Booty is right. Obama has taken a stand - sort of - supporting Hamas and Hezbollah at the expense of our relationship with Israel.

Jewish Leader: Obama May Be 'Most Hostile President to Israel’
Monday, June 22, 2009 11:53 AM
By: Ronald Kessler
President Barack Obama’s refusal to take a stand on protests in Iran stands in sharp contrast to demands he has made on Israel, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says in a Newsmax interview.
“I think he should take a strong stand to support the protesters in Iran who want to transform that society into one that promotes democracy and human rights,” Klein says. ”But while meddling in Israel’s affairs and making specific demands, he explicitly states he refuses to meddle in Iran’s policies and has said almost nothing.”
Klein says leaders of Jewish organizations are rethinking their support of Obama in light of his attitude toward Israel.
“There are many leaders in the organized Jewish world who have privately discussed this issue with me, and say they are deeply concerned about Obama’s actions and policies toward Israel, and now they’re rethinking their support for Obama during the campaign and the election,” says Klein, whose organization of 30,000 members is the oldest pro-Israel group in the country.
Based on the president’s speech in Cairo on June 4 and many of his foreign policy appointments, Klein thinks Obama “may become the most hostile president to Israel ever.”
Obama’s speech was “inimical to Israel and supportive of the stream of false Palestinian Arab claims concerning Israel,” Klein says. “He is relentlessly pressuring Israel while applying virtually almost no pressure on the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its written obligations.”
As a child of survivors of the Holocaust, Klein says he was particularly offended by Obama’s comparison of the suffering of Palestinians with the Nazis’ murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
“I found this to be an abominable, odious, and ridiculously false analogy,” he says.
While Klein’s parents’ survived, his father lost his eight brothers and sisters and all his aunts and uncles in Nazi concentration camps. Klein’s mother lost half her family.
In his speech, Klein says, Obama said that “the treatment of Palestinian Arabs by Israel is equivalent to the treatment of South African blacks during apartheid and of enslaved blacks before the Civil War, more than implying that Israel is an oppressor. He falsely claimed that Palestinian Arabs were displaced by Israel in 1948, when in fact, if six Arab nations hadn’t invaded Israel to destroy it, there wouldn’t be a single Palestinian Arab who left that area.”
Klein disputes Obama’s reference to Palestinian Arabs trying to establish a state for 60 years.
“They could have had a state in 1937,” he says. “They turned it down. They could have had a state in 1948. From 1948 to 1967, when they controlled all of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, they never attempted to establish a state. In 2000, they were offered a state on almost all the disputed territories. They turned it down. So this is a completely false claim that they’ve been trying to establish a state for 60 years.”
By claiming that America has 7 million Muslims, Obama showed a willingness to use phony figures to support a tilt toward Muslims, Klein says.
“Every major survey shows there’s between 1.5 million and 2.5 million Muslims in America,” Klein says. “Where does he get the number 7 million? This is the number that the Arab propagandists promote. There’s no legitimate survey that shows a number of that nature.”
Klein says it is premature to focus on the establishment of a Palestinian state as long as Palestinians promote violence and hatred against Israel.
“To promote a Palestinian state at a time when Hamas, the terrorist group, controls Gaza, and Fatah, which also promotes terror, controls the West Bank, is absurd,” Klein observes. The Palestinians “continue to promote hatred and violence against Jews and Americans in their schools, media and speeches,” Klein notes. “They refuse to arrest a single anti-Israel terrorist, zero. They refuse to outlaw terrorist groups, which is required under the agreements they’ve signed. They continue to name schools, streets, and sports teams after terrorists, glorifying murder.”
Moreover, Klein says, “control of the Palestinian territories is split between Hamas and Fatah, so there is no one regime to negotiate with.”
If the Palestinians “fulfilled all their written obligations for a significant period of time, clearly an overwhelming majority of Israelis, Americans, and the world would support a Palestinian state,” Klein says.
As Klein sees it, while Obama is “ignoring the anti-peace, pro-terror actions of the Hamas-Fatah regime,” he is “rushing headlong into establishing yet another terrorist state in the Middle East, as opposed to working to ensure that we end the existence of terrorist states in general,” Klein says.
Some of the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., Obama’s minister, friend, and mentor, are apparent in Obama’s remarks, Klein says.
“If you look at Rev. Wright’s speeches and sermons as I have, many of the themes, like comparing the Palestinian Arabs to the South Africans and the illegality of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, show up in Obama’s talks and actions,” he says.
During the 2008 election campaign, “I would give speeches and write articles expressing concern about his close friendship with Rev. Wright,” Klein says. “I was repeatedly told that’s not fair; those are Wright’s views, not necessarily his, and that it’s guilt by association.”
In response, Klein would say, “If a Jew was a member of a synagogue where the rabbi preached hatred of blacks, it would be clear that that Jew would be comfortable with anti-black racism. I couldn’t remain for a week at a synagogue where a rabbi made a hateful speech toward blacks. I’d quit immediately.”
Yet, he says, Jews “didn’t apply that normal, appropriate standard to Barack Obama,” Klein says. “Obama gave $27,500 in 2005 and 2006 to Rev. Wright’s church. He called Rev. Wright a great man and his mentor. You can’t be so close to someone you call a great man and a mentor if you don’t agree with what he has to say.”
