“Here’s the facts.

A Black Celebrity Professor tried to destroy the life and career of a well respected white cop.

The black mayor of Cambridge joined in.

The black governor of Massachusetts tried as well.

And then the black president of the United States went in for the kill.

Unfortauntely a little thing like the truth got in the way.

This really is a “teachable moment.” These black leaders are the racists. They are disgraceful and should be punished. Period.”

I copied this and forwarded it to everyone on my email list. You did a great job of summing it up very well. Glad that Obama is caught and America is viewing racist behavior on White America!!!!

I took the time to go back and listen to the question and the answer. Yes, it really does appear to be staged. And upon hearing the entire answer again, it is devastating to Obama. He mis-characterized the incident by leaving out a lot of pertinent information. Of course he covered that by saying he didn't know the facts. Too bad for the Bamster, he should have been briefed first. When the facts are compared to his statement, it proves what a complete moron he is. The answer he gave was disastrous!

Obama speaks out on Gates arrest

It is utterly ridiculous to believe that the Whitehouse did not know in advance what she was going to ask. They choreographed everything else for her. The question was supposed to deflect attention off of his horrible health care bill - but “the most brilliant orator we’ve ever had for a President” blew the answer & took more heat for it. Still going down in the polls, they’re going to have to pull something else out of their hats to get people’s attention focused somewhere else.

YEP!

First time, I have seen the presser. He appears to be referring to notes in front of him.

It has the appearance of being staged. But in retrospect, when one compares what actually happened, to Obama’s characterization of it, it is an absolutely stupefying response. The President basically said “Hey watch THIS magic act. Not only am I going to put one foot in my mouth, I’m going to both of them in, all the way up to my knees!”

What struck me the most about Obama's answer was in how quickly after she finished asking it he began answering it.

There were no "um's" or "uh's." There wasn't a joke about how this was supposed to be a press conference about health care.

There was hardly a second between her finishing asking the question and Obama beginning his answer. Doesn't he usually take a pregnant pause before beginning his answers?

OdumbO didn’t do his usual um, er, hem and hawing that goes with an unexpected question. He acted prepared and as I said, he also appeared to be looking at notes.

Gates said”you don’t know who you are messing with”. Gates has a direct line to O’s blackberry.The reporter is from Illinois. End of story.

“I know I’m recognized as the Obama specialist because I am an Obama specialist,” she said. “I mean, just to make sure, when I was in Chicago, I made sure I drove past his house. I was in Chicago last week just to see what there is to see. I didn’t have to go, I just wanted to go. I just wanted to have more facts at my disposal. I realized I hadn’t seen the house he used to live in, so I went by and drove by there.”

DRIVE BY MEDIA!!

ROTFLOL!!

No doubt he was reading from notes. Speaking of notes - I think this press conference notes the peak of Obama. It’s all down hill from here. As time goes by, if he could have one day back, and change one thing, he would not have had that press conference.
