WASHINGTON D.C. In a surprising reversal, President Obama made an unscheduled appearance in the White House Briefing Room this morning at 10:00 EST. He retracted his controversial statement that the Cambridge Police Officers who arrested Professor Gates of Harvard University acted "stupidly." President Obama stated that, "on reflection and further information, the actions of the Cambdridge Police Officer demanding the identification of a man in a residence whose front door had been smashed open appear reasonable.

Did Jake Tapper write this satirical piece? If not, I think you should remove his name and ABC News for that matter. JMHO
Yeah, but it ain't obama. Some other idiot shucking and jiving.
Geeesh. Shows how potent it would be if he DID say what you wrote. But Obama did not, your post is a trick post — a rick roll — and it is unlikely that he will emulate your suggestion.
Jewbacca, quit acting stupidly!!! ;-)
When I first saw the headline, I thought, Damn, Obama truly is a masterful politician. A non-apology apology would be the smartest thing he could do. This thing is not going away and, if the tapes back up the cop, Obama will really be up the creek.
“Look, if it’s satire, why is it attributed to ABC News?”

You sir, have been Rick Rolled.
LOL! Rick-rolled by what I thought was legitimate satire from DBM. Sheesh I should’ve known. Very funny.
Now back to the reality of being Barack-rolled.
put satire in the title. I’ve never, ever — in over ten years — ever noticed if I was in “humor” or “chat” or anything else.
Shoot first. Ask questions later.
Jeez.
Just setting the tone for a Friday.

LOL.
“on reflection.....”
From what?....His teleprompter?
For a brave man, you whine like a baby.
The parody of Obama actually doing the right thing compared to the Rick Astley weasel dance that Obama actually will do is rather powerful, IMHO.
As the old adage goes, you learn something new every day.
I learned to stay away from vacuous posts authored by Jewbacca.
Works for me.
You gave me a good, good (and much needed) laugh!!!
(Still shaking my head)...an almost 10 year FReeper...rolled!
