“Well, look,” said Gibbs, “Let’s just say it’s safe to say we went over a whole lot of topics that we thought might come up, and certainly this was a topic that was, has been in the news . . .” He then went on to try to un-ring the bell by..."

“Set up.” Despite the questioner’s protestations to the contrary, I smell set up. It was the last question, and the only one Obama was animated about. He was ready... or so he thought.

Coulter, on FOX last night, said her sources tell her it absolutely was a set-up.

...and if they prepared him for the question then they damn sure prepared the questioner who asked it.

therefore, that libtard lady in Chicago is a LIAR too.

ALL his news conferences are set up. Somehow his inner rage popped out and he gave his “own” answer to the question, instead of the answer he was prepped with.

He can’t hide his hatred of both law enforcement and Whitey!

Can’t even give a straightforward answer about preparation for the press conference. Thugs are so easy to id. They always assume someone is out to “get” them, trip them up, make them look bad because that is what they themselves practice on a daily basis. Hussein’s mask slipped because his arrogance is so breathtaking. Period.

Wow, he knew the question was coming and he gave THAT answer? He really is arrogant and thinks he can waive his magic wand and have all of us fall in line with whatever he says/does.

What other answer would you expect from someone who sat in Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years?

Ah- ha!........ I knew it was scripted! I said as much when it first happened.

"Obama the HEALER", was supposed to be the headline, but things haven't worked out as they had imagined.

Gibbs just confirming what some of us have been saying since the get go...that it was scripted.
The obvious response is that it is a smokescreen for his his healthcare issue.
One of the things that is really troubling is that even his answers on the health care were bumbling and careless and inflammatory.
Why did they hold a presser and script such questions and then respond with such ineptitude?
He was disrespectful of both doctors and policemen during the presser. I have had several attorneys since the presser tell me that an attorney would never say “I don't have all the facts, but.....” It is one of the first things they learn as lawyer. It then highlights the O’s weak law skills. (I had a lawyer who worked with him in Chicago say that he spent every day at his desk working on his book rather than doing any of the work he was assigned by his firm) Anyway, I digress.
Why did they do this presser at all? Why did they feel it necessary to add the Gates matter? Even if Obama did go off script, why would they have him address such a trivial matter as President? It was demeaning to both himself and the “importance” of the health care and certainly to the office he holds.

Well, hard to be certain, but it sure does look like a setup.

And why would Obama want to sabotage himself with a setup like that?

Because he’s so arrogant he thought he could get away with it. It’s his typical Alinsky ploy. Choose someone and demonize him in order to get people on your side. After all, the race baiters have done this a thousand times, accusing cops of being racisim, and it’s always worked before. Why would anyone believe this cop, any more than they’d believe the executives at AIG or GM?

But this time it backfired. They picked the wrong cop, they didn’t realize that there was a black cop among the responders, they didn’t know that the sergeant was chosen to lecture young cops on how to steer clear of racism, they didn’t realize that Gates would fly so far off the handle and get caught on tape and camera.

Hillary got elected to the Senate by attacking NYC cops for shooting a black man; that (and woman trouble) was the primary issue she used to force Giuliani out of the race. Hundreds of Democrat politicians have used that ploy to make themselves popular.

I’d love to see the teleprompter script. Did Barry screw up and get in over his head, or did he read what was on the teleprompter? Maybe he needs to fire a few speachwriters over this one.
