The tanking of obama’s poll numbers “unfortunately” coincided with his planned “news” conference.
Sweet probably fantasizes that “The One” would be eternally grateful to her giving him the opportunity to address our thriving “race problems” in America.
It’s racist white America at fault, not the fact that obama is completely unqualified to be President of the United States. And Sweet is a useful idiot.
Maybe more than a few members of the House of Representatives can safely distance themselves from Obama now and not cooperate with his destructive agenda, because he is fast becoming radioactive.
Lynn won’t be invited back.
Remember that Obama throws like a girl, and probably plays like one. Sweet lobbed a softball, Obama swung and missed and smacked himself in the face.
African-American studies professor = Racist pimp
Of course she was a plant. Didn't she just admit they called her to make sure she'd be there. What they didn't plan on was the public's reaction. Though how they couldn't is beyond me but I suppose when all you know and insulate yourself with is Ayers/White/Jackson etc...
I assume Gates could demand a jury trial if he was sued for defamation and figure that a jury in Cambridge with hyperliberal PBS-watching whites and maybe some minorities is never going to find him guilty. Anyway after having a beer at the White House with the President and the professor, I doubt Sgt. Crowley will bring a lawsuit. (Of course the visit to the White House may never materialize—Obama accomplished his goal by simply talking about doing it.)
In the past I most likely would have taken Lynn Sweet at her word that this was not planned. After witnessing the Orwellian press/media performances of the past year I will never believe ANYTHING they say again.
Lynn Sweet, I don’t believe you. You have nothing of value to offer me. Good day.
These racemongers have long hid behind their own definition of "racist" as "being possible only when you have the power." With Zero, they "have the power". Let's see how they excuse themselves now.
Actually, although inflamed, her question gave us a window to the soul of Obama. He would have gotten this question sooner or later, and being the hardcore racist he is, would have answered it in a way to illuminate his true feelings.
Pretty much sums up his presidency.
“I call bull... she asked the question as if she knew zero was aware of the incident - as if there were no question he was familiar with it.”
Excellent point! Oh my... talk about a finale! “What? Skip got arrested? What for??” But he didn’t respond that way. In fact, it sounded like a canned answer when he worked in the “Latinos” reference IMO.
The whole thing stinks really. Lynn Sweet was ready to go earlier, but Obama wanted her question last.
- Obama called on Steve Koff (sp) from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
- Someone stands up and asks a question.
- Obama responds to the question and when finished, says firmly, “Lynn Sweet”, as someone else says loudly “last question”.
- She stands with mic and is about to ask it when someone can be overheard telling Obama that the previous fellow wasn’t Steve Koff. (Confusion for a few seconds...)
- Lynn Sweet is still standing ready to ask, but Obama tells Koff to “get in there real quick” so Lynn Sweet has to sit back down and the other fellow can stand up. (Koff had to turn around and grab a mic.)
- He answers Koff’s question quickly and admits that he hurried the answer so he could get to Lynn Sweet.
- Finally. The surprising last question that he didn’t know was coming... and he sure didn’t hurry the answer!
Because of what Obama said, I also believe that either Gates called Obama or visa versa....BEFORE THE QUESTION WAS ASKED. I don’t think that answer was as “off the cuff” as we think....simply because he continued with “White boys are known for this”....
I totally missed THAT comment!
Oh well, back to scripted questions.
They had him so well schooled on the anticipated subject matter, they did not see him getting off message.
I had not written or blogged....She read the question off a piece of paper!!!
Not exactly those words....but same thing...Go back and read his entire response...”Stupidly” is the least of his response.
