Kiss the Police Union vote goodbye in 2010 if Obama does not apologize.
The Democrats must not have any fingernails left as of today.

The Cambridge and area police unions voiced their support Friday for Sgt. James Crowley and called for an apology from President Obama for saying officers "acted stupidly" for arresting black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home.
"His remarks were obviously misdirected but made it worse yet by suggesting somehow this case should remind us of a history of racial abuse by law enforcement," Dennis O'Connor, president of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, said at a news conference.
O'Connor also referred to statements made by Governor Deval Patrick -- the state's first black governor -- who called the arrest "every black man's nightmare."
"Whatever may be the history, we deeply resent the implications and reject any suggestion that in this case or any other case that they've allowed a person's race to direct their activities. However we hope they will reflect upon their past comments and apologize to the men and women of the Cambridge Police Department," O'Connor said.
White House spokesman Roberts Gibbs said Friday that Obama regrets that the media have gotten all worked up over the controversy and been distracted from other more substantive issues such as health care

Obama can kiss MANY goodbye — he is being rapidly exposed and defined — and the polls show it. He does not care. Let us hope the other UNIONS are watching and learning from this fraud and deceit.
It’s beginning to look like we have a “street smart” President without brains.
I give him a day and then I'll contact the Cambridge PD to explain that I'm sorry that the Zer0 they elected has been discriminating again and profiling them.
“Wow. White Guilty Libs from MA rebelling against “The One?””
In a Facebook group supporting Sgt. Crowley (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=106124633875), more than one Obama supporter has posted to express just a bit of buyer’s remorse. Apparently they thought that Rev. Wrong was preaching tolerance and rationality for the twenty years Obama was there.
“Obama has said he was surprised by the controversy sparked by his comments. White House spokesman Roberts Gibbs said Friday that the President regrets that the media have gotten all worked up over the controversy and been distracted from other more substantive issues such as health care.”
Is there no end to this race-baiter’s bullbleep?
I watched the news conference and although they would like to have an apology, they demanded nothing.
Wow--a double play! What page of the Saul Alinsky playbook is this from?
1. The non-apology apology. Obama regrets (not what he said) but (how others mistakenly reacted it to it.)
2. Quick--change the subject! We've got to focus on health care, two wars, the All-Star Game, whatever--we're too busy for this trivial stuff. (See--Bill Clinton during the Monica Mess.)
My advice to the police is don’t hold your breath. The Kenyan Cretin is too much of a narcissist to ever admit that he did anything wrong.
I give him a day and then I'll contact the Cambridge PD to explain that I'm sorry that the Zer0 they elected has been discriminating against and profiling them.
Obama is used to apologizing all over the world about the mean nasty America. You work for us Obama! Apologize now!
As they should!! However, they shouldn't expect him to actually apologize to THEM!! He hasn't finished apologizing to our enemies and they have priority!!
President Barack Hussein Obama is:
(A) Stupid
(B)Anti-American
(C) An African-African
(D) One who despises America and most Americans.
(E) An extreme left-winger, or a Communist
(F)All of the above.
In other words, its the media that is at fault for getting itself all worked up. Its the media's fault for distracting us from -8bamacare.
>>> he is being rapidly exposed and defined — and the polls show it. He does not care. <<<
I agree that he doesn’t care, and never will.
But “not caring” doesn’t really matter when people start waking up and walking away.
Thanks for the link. I joined and invited many others.
Sometimes you have to give the Devil his due. Obama was dead on right about the stupidity. Gates is dead on wrong about it being about race. The cop was stupid and when he knew Gates wasn’t a burglar, he should have left the premises, not lure Gates outside where he could perform an arrest without a warrant.
The cop just got his panties in a wad because someone was giving him grief and over reacted and illegally arrested Gates to show Gates who the boss was. Go read the arrest report.
There isn’t a cop in the country who doesn’t know what went down because it happens all the time. Same as the out-of-control Oklahoma cop who choked the emt, because he thought someone flipped him the bird.
parsy, who says again, IT ISN’T ABOUT RACE - IT’S ABOUT BEING IN THE COP’S FACE
How rich. This isn't going to sit well in Cambridge. Is he deliberately obtuse or does he just choose to ignore the fact that the police department is worked up, not the media?
and his non-apology with begin with the word “Look....”
