Friday, July 24, 2009 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

Obama just finished. Said he spoke with Sgt. Crowley

Link to video here.

[kristinn]

More details to come from others who caught it, I hope.

[NormsRevenge]

I caught it, don’t believe a word of it tho.

I guess that makes me racist.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hussein's proven himself...irrefutably...to be a race pimp.How many here are surprised by this?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Rush ran it.
More mush from the wimp.

[Kevin in California]

I still didn’t hear an apology!

[PhiKapMom]

He did the damage by calling them stupid and no amount of apology is going to change the fact he slipped into his black racist, I Hate WHITEY mode at the press conference. The true ZERO was on display for all to see.

Still think it was a set-up question coming from a Chicago reporter and he blew it big time.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Gates goes under the bus!....That didn’t take long!....L.O.L.

[kjo]

Call be deaf...but I did not hear an apology.

[Spokane]

He said not to extrapolate from the facts.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

He achieved what he wanted to....the abysmal White House Press Corp was poured back into the bottle....

[OCCASparky]

Zerobama, once again opening his mouth just long enough to change feet.

[Gay State Conservative]

I guess that makes me racist.

You must be a typical white person.

[Outlaw Woman]

Only caught a partial on Rush. Is there a site that posts transcripts of White House press room?

[screaminsunshine]

He has to give his Obamabots in the MSM something to cover his butt with. They were looking really pathetic.

[ncfool]

He continues to suffer from Hoof and Mouth syndrome!

[BunnySlippers]

Play the audiotape!

[Irisshlass]

Obama said the policeman overacted.

[Spunky]

Something about him and Crowley and Davis having a beer together. I think maybe he was trying to make a joke?

[kristinn]

He stepped in it big time. Cops were already complaining he blew off the annual memorial to fallen officers earlier this year.

[swheats]

I think we can say he apologized to the officer for making this bigger that what it was. And to call the media off of the officer’s lawn.

[abishai]

Saying both sides OVER-REACTED. Will the police agree?

[NonValueAdded]

Obama threw everybody under the bus, himself included. But then he pulled himself back out and asserted it was right for him to play the race card and he will do it again. That's how I took it. Can't wait to parse the transcript. Obama doesn't know the Rule of Holes.

[freebird5850]

So now Gibbs is on trying to piece it all together. Stumbling badly too, as usual.

[Gator113]

I watched it and in my view this was nothing but double speaking two faced garbage.

Obama DID NOT give an apology.

[boomop1]

Obozo is a moron he sought praise but it back fired on him. He is a RACIST.

[rolling_stone]

Obama said Gates aske how to get the Pres off his lawn, Obama said he couldn’t get them off his lawn. I suggest we get Obama off our lawn.

[Matchett-PI]

Rush said that BO would throw his friend Gates under the bus - just as he did with his grandmother, the Rev. Wright, et.al., as soon as the heat gets too hot. He did it before Rush’s show was even over with today. Hee hee hee.

[khnyny]

I caught it - just more idiocy.

[WOBBLY BOB]

amateur hour tap dance routine...

[Red_Devil 232]

Still no apology! Obambi dose not like that this superceeded Health-Care discussions in the MSM!

[Clint N. Suhks]

He’s still making it a race issue and not about disorderly conduct.

He’s such a race baiter!

[Huskrrrr]

[tiredoflaundry]

*O* messed up badly by calling the cops “stupid”. He blew it again today by still referring the incident as “racial”.

[tsmith130]

"I contributed to ratcheting up of the situation"

"Gates and crowley are two decent people"

"some who say that as president I shouldn't have stepped in this at all. That I have to disagree with. Because this has become such an issue is indicative that race is still an issue in America...."

"race is still a troubling aspect of our society whether i were black or white I think that me commenting on this and hopefully contributing to constructive as opposed to negative understandings of the issue is part of my portfolio"

Some crap about a "teachable moment"

[Semper911]

All he did was ramble out some bullshit doublespeak. He never said he was sorry.

I have had it with this guy. He is so effing full of himself.

[PhilDragoo]

[Gay State Conservative]

Sounds like the cop was invited to the White House.If I was him,I’d go...(seeing it would certainly be impressive)...smile nicely and,upon leaving,I’d say something like “nope,still not apologizing.It’s the “professor” who should be apologizing”.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It’s all about him. That is why his ratings are plummeting.

[KeyLargo]

Yep, B.O. put more spin on this and continues to dig the hole deeper! LOL!

The MSM toadies are preparing the Obama lies for publication now.

[Notasoccermom]

That’s not the Professor Gates that I knew.”

[P-Marlowe]

Obama just finished. Said he spoke with Sgt. Crowley

Yeah, I'd have to say Obama is finished.

Too bad this didn't occur in October 2008.

[aragona]

The reason he called the cop is because he wants the police union votes. He doesn’t need to call Gates since he already has 90% approval of blacks. With O its aleways political and about him.

[dirtboy]

*O* messed up badly by calling the cops “stupid”. He blew it again today by still referring the incident as “racial”.

He's in a pickle. Recant, and the victimhood sect will go bonkers. Stick with his original statement, and he gets skinned among independents. And there is only so much the media can do to deflect this.

[NormsRevenge]

Bigtime. Yup. Why he chose to even answer that question speaks volumes to what his true motives were and are.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

"For the men and women of Rev. Wright's generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years.

That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician's own failings.

Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race, March 2008

[Deb]

Well, we learned some more about him.

[keepitreal]

And the press keeps asking questions of Gibbs. Guess Obama didn’t provide enough of a “teachable moment” to the press, i.e. “I have told you to forget about it, now forget about it”.
