Only if they need a "Token" white guy there!! This is ALL for show and if I was that cop I would tell Obama to "Go Take A Flying Leap"!!! I would bet money though that the cop is quietly being TOLD that he WILL go to the White House!!!! It is NOT an option for him to till Barkin Barry to "STICK IT!!"

Greg, you cannot expect an HONEST apology from Obama. In fact, you can't use the work honest and Obama in the same sentence.

I know that but here is the thing.

I am sitting watching his 'speech' (this guy has more air time than some prime time shows) and he made a comment that I almost threw up over - he is now claiming that the stimulus package that he passed didn't contain "one earmark". If there was a perfect example of his lying about something, this is it. The entire bill is about the earmarks.

AND he gets away with it!!! It must be REALLY nice for the current resident in the White House to have the media as his private propaganda machine. :(

So after calling Sergeant Crowley stupid and by extension his fellow officers in Cambridge, guess what Joe Biden announced today:

The Most Expensive Teachable Moment in History

Some very sympathetic police officers are going after the president on national TV, and what a surprising coincidence, Joe Biden has suddenly decided to make a donation to the Fraternal Order of Police -- for $1 billion:

BREAKING -- “Philadelphia, PA – Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder today [will announce] $1 billion in grants to fund the hiring and rehiring of law enforcement officers all across the country under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The grants will be awarded to 1,046 law enforcement agencies from all 50 states and will provide 100 percent of the approved salary and benefits for 4,699 officers for three years. … ‘A big part of the Recovery Act is about building communities – making them as strong as they can be, allowing every American family to live a better life than the one they are leading now,’ said Vice President Joe Biden. ‘And we can’t achieve the goal of stronger communities without supporting those who keep our streets safe.’”

That's a pretty expensive make up kiss to the police officers in America. I guess they are not stupid after all.

Wow....all the "state-owned" media got was a 4th of July picnic at the White House to quiet them after they dared to get a little "restless".

That is what they got on the surface. The Devil only knows what is going on behind the scenes with this bunch.

WOW!! That is funny.

I'm glad you're amused. Go back and read Dreammaker's post, the one that includes the "Dear Skip" letter.....that's what I'm trying to express here. The officer was merely doing his job, the other two people, regardless of color, overreacted. Perhaps I could have worded that differently but I have a way of saying what's on my mind and in this case, it's that the black man involved here made allegations against the white officer that were not true and the black president, on WORLDWIDE tv, agreed with those claims.

Something else comes to mind here and that is the reporter. We're not hearing anything about her. In the beginning, there was some question as to whether she and the question may have been a plant....I suspect so but that will never be proven.

The question I will throw out here in the soapbox is, in your opinion, would she have asked that same question of a white president....would a white president been asked his opinion of the arrest of this black professor?

I don't know about the color of the President, BUT, a REAL President would have said something like: "I am not familiar with the incedent and it is a Local matter and I have no intention of getting involved in local matters. This is a situation for the parties involved to resolve."

OH Greg, Believe me, NO ONE knows that better than I do!!! The reporting I have seen on subjects that I know about or worked on has be un-real!! I rarely have even known what they were talking about most of the time. Even when I had spent HOURS working it!!
