Wow, I have not heard a man since Clinton “”sound”” like he’s apologizing without actually apologizing.

This guy should NOT go.

Disagree, somewhat. The guy should go, but only with his local police chief and the head of the national FOP (since the FOP has been supportive of the officer thus far). AFTER the FOP makes a genuine apology and retraction by the President a precondition to any meeting.

IOW, remove the personalization of the issue, raise the argument to President vs. FOP.

Did BHO say “have a beer” or “have a forty”?

The fact that it has garnered so much attention is because you said something incredibly stupid!

It was so bad that a liberal friend said that O had stepped in it...but then, his son is in law-enforcement. And they seem to be taking this kinda personal.

Or, better yet: he should publicly decline the invitation (on camera) while scratching his nose with his middle finger. In short, he should pull an Obama.

An apology from Obama is not the issue. The issue is that it demonstrates the mindset that Obama operates from. There was a confrontation between a black man and a white man. The white man was at fault. QED. This is very similar to the mindset demonstrated by Sotomayor in her ruling that a test that no black candidates passed was an invalid test, with no consideration of why such a thing might have happened.

They are racists and bigots, and that bigotry forms their world view. No problem if they are just people, but they are President and a potential SCJ.

How many people here remember President Reagan’s joke about “the bombing starts in 5 minutes” and what a tempest in a teapot the press made of it? The DH-in-Chief obviously hasn’t learn or doesn’t care, everything as leader of the free world (my head shaking in disgust on the verge of vomiting) has consequences.

What an jerk Obama is....

It's like when you tell your kid to apologize to his brother for beating the sh** out of him....The apology happens and the apologeer laughs all the way to his room.

It's called a pattern....Wright, Sotomayer, Gates...

Crowley should stay home.

Why let Obama and Gates use his to further their lies, since they are both wrong and know it.

This whole thing makes me sick.

Obama has worked at least one real miracle, he has made me think that maybe Bill Clinton wasn’t so bad after all.

Don’t trust him. The odds are 50-50 he could just as easily invite the white officer over for a new century racist tar and feathering of the officer based on his race on the White House lawn.

The American people expect and demand discrimination. That’s the job of Congress, to discriminate rigorously between what is criminal from legitimate behavior and pass laws to DISCRIMINATE. Discerning people discriminate.

I don't see how he can go see the Kenyan leader and his Harvard race baitor.

Gates is still mouthing off about how he was not respected.

The race card is still in play.

I’m not sure if he stepped in it or if he is putting out a diversion from healthcare.

Obama is a quandry. I dont think the man is stupid. I think he is a playah, but also think he is playing incredibly risky games

Wanna bet the brew comes from Nigeria or Uganda or wherever this mutt (who happens to be our president) was born. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes from Cuba or PPPPaakkkeeeeestan or even N.Korea.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nobama makes Officer Crowley pay for the beers after the meeting.

I hope Mr. Crowley has enough integrity to NOT attend this meeting.

It would be like being sucker punched and having your teeth knocked out and then having they guy who did it invite you to a steak dinner the same day.

If I were the officer I would not have anything else to say to the Pres. Other than that Obamas origianl comments speak for themselves.

Well, if he wanted a diversion, he got it. And the interesting thing is that it doen’t seem to be going away.
