Arizona Lawman Acting Stupidly, Obama Silent
The American Thinker Blog ^ | January 12, 2011 | Ben Barrack

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik ascribed blame in a murder case to radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh - thereby labeling him an accomplice - while conceding he has no proof. At a press conference in the summer of 2009, President Barack Obama admitted to not having all the facts about an incident involving his friend Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge Police. He then proceeded to declare that the Police "acted stupidly" anyway.

Gates was belligerent with his arresting officer Sgt. James Crowley, called him a "racist" and then demanded an apology. Crowley refused to issue one. Sheriff Dupnik last April publicly stated he would order his deputies not to enforce Arizona S.B. 1070 because it is a "racist" law. After the Safeway massacre, he proclaimed his own state a "Mecca for racism and bigotry" without having any facts.

The incident involving Gates and Crowley became a public relations nightmare for the Obama administration as the days went by. The remedy decided upon was to conceal defeat in the form of a perceived truce between Crowley and Gates at the infamous White House Beer Summit. In reality, it was an attempt to stop the bleeding (metaphor intended). Crowley was being vindicated by the minute while Obama and Gates looked increasingly foolish and angry.

If Obama was able to assert that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" without having all of the facts, why won't he assert that the head of the Pima County Police is acting stupidly when the facts support such a conclusion? As a lawman, it's Dupnik's job to avoid drawing conclusions relative to the motives of a suspected killer, let alone doing so publicly or while the investigation is still ongoing.

In Obama’s worldview, lefties can’t act stupidly. It’s one reason he can never understand or concede that he acted stupidly in cramming through Obamacare. A careful analysis has shown that at least one third of the House seats lost by Dems in November can be chalked up to that single vote.

Watch for the “I feel your pain tour” when Obama gets there. he’ll have Dipshit Dupnik on the from row while making his “Can’t We All Get Along” speech.

The media will begin immediately after he finishes his speech talking about how wonderful and messanic like he was in healing the pain.

This is going to get revolting.
