Responding to a tip of a possible break-in, Cambridge police showed up at Gates’ home on July 16, and eventually arrested Gates after he began screaming at them, accusing Crowley of being a "racist police officer." The resulting flap led to Crowley and Gates being invited to the White House to have a beer with President Obama.

Obama has lost the support of the police.

ACORN polling place thugs may not be tolerated as much as Obama needs them to be tolerated

Sounds like he got a much better reception than Obama at the VFW Convention today.

Obama has lost the support of the police.

Did he ever have it in the 1st place?

Yes, he had the support of the police unions (NAPO - http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/9/22/94649/9250).

Not anymore. He might still have the support of the police union leadership, but not rank and file members (http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/23/how-not-to-win-support-from-police-unions/).

Obama has proven himself to be an inept diplomat, but internationally and domestically.

Whatever happened to the cop who made the “Banana Eating Jungle Monkey” comment?

Typical of liberal loons, the LA Slimes can't get anything right. It wasn't Gates' being a bigoted, belligerant rant a** or the resulting arrest that led to the Obamabeerfest; it was the Obozo's "acted stupidly" comment. Try to get it right, Slimes; just once.

I daresay that Zero is certainly helping us create more and more public figures to rally the citizenry.
