Obama is free to call the police stupid because they endorsed McCain according to Gibbs? Is that what I read. ZERO and Gibbs are dumber then a box of rocks!

It's the Chicago way. Don't support the machine, the machine grinds you.

"I unfortunately gave the impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sergeant Crowley specifically."

No, you $&!@* jerk, you WERE maligning them specifically! What the heck else would telling them they "behaved stupidly" be but a specific malignment???

I hate hate hate weasel words. You didn't "choose your words poorly." You didn't "misspeak." You didn't "fail to properly calibrate" your words (What is that supposed to mean?). You didn't create a "teachable moment" for us all to learn from.

No, you just ran at the mouth with your true thoughts, and now you're too teensy-weensy small of a human being to offer up a true apology. Pathetic, pathetic, PATHETIC.

I think this is a big mistake. By inviting them to the White House he’s just keeping the controversy alive. Plus, betcha that leftist idiot Gates won’t be able to resist saying something stupid when in front of the White House press corps.

Yep. The police and their concerns can be discounted and dismissed as they didn’t vote for 0. They don’t count, and deserve ridicule by the President.

Upper level administration officials trotting out their racial bias for the whole world to see. We knew it was there but never expected them to authenticate it so clearly.

Exactly. Gibbs and ZERO showed their true colors that if you didn’t endorse ZERO, then you are nothing. State of Oklahoma that only had 34% of voters who voted for ZERO has to has to be at the bottom of every list of this Administration with every county going to McCain. On a scale of 0-50 — we are a big fat “0” for which I will always be proud.

No, but some idiot on Hannity’s show this afternoon tried to compare Obama to a comment Bush supposedly made after the Rodney King trial.

Indeed, Gates needs “street cred” to look like the caricature that is any “Ethnic Studies” professorship.

Thus he will mouth off, as you said.
