Hello, Sgt. Crowley, it's the President calling.

Sgt. James Crowley was having a burger and a Blue Moon beer in Tommy Doyle’s Irish Pub when his cell phone rang.

The Cambridge cop spoke for a moment and hung up looking altogether amazed.

“His jaw dropped,” recalled Peter Woodman, a co-owner of the Kendall Square pub and two others of the same name. “He said, ‘Jesus Christ, you'll never guess who’s going to ring me.’”

Crowley remained at a table by the front window, the cell phone set before him.

“He got a bit nervous for a minute or two then he got his head, Woodman said. “Cool as a cucumber, just sat there sipping his beer.”

the obamanation is slick.. that’s for sure.... slippery and slick.... a lifetime of training to be that good.

I would have let it go to voice mail.

LOL! perfect!

[deannadurbin]

I have an idea. Crowley should say to Obama, “Since you need me now more than I need you I think it’s fitting that if you want to have a beer with me that you come to the place where I hang out.” :)

[jveritas]

Toooooooooo Late. Obama has been exposed as a racist and no amount of dog and pony shows, smoke and mirrors, are going to change this.

[Dinah Lord]

I definitely would have screened that call, too. (And ordered another Blue Moon)

So is Crowley going to go to the WH to drink beer with the guy who is possibly filing a lawsuit against him? I would think that invite puts Crowley in a no win situation. If he doesn’t go, he’s a racist. If he goes, he might say or do something which will bite him in the butt during a trial.

If he was smart....he would NOT accept. That sends the message that he was WRONG. He is a police officer representing the Cambridge Police Department. Period. He should leave it at that.

Sgt. Crowley should have thrown his cell phone in the Charles River before Obama called. He’s taken enough crap from Obama.

[daylilly]

I would have turned the cell phone off and not talked to him. I don’t know why Crowley did talk to him at all, and why he thinks it is okay now. They were both wrong [overreacted?]. Garbage.

[donmeaker]

he should bring his lawyer.

[bigbob]

If Robert Gibbs ever calls me, I’m telling him “Wrong Number”.

[South40]

Hussein's trying to resuscitate his public image and he needs Sgt. Crowley to do it.

Crowley should tell him to kiss his arse pound sand.

[montomike]

You can’t turn your cell phone off when God is going to call you!

[chiefqc]

Should have told him that he was not HIS president.

[presently no screen name]

Obama would continue to suggest Crowley may have overreacted, but allowed that Gates may have as well.

BO is disgusting. It was HIM that overreacted and his black buddy! I hope Crowley does not take him up on his invite!

[Infralutheran]

Did Obama ever live up to his promise to have a beer with Hannity? If not, Crowley should invite Sean along.

[Palladin]

Only one person overreacted and that was the foul-mouthed racist professor.

Release the tapes!

[Dinah Lord]

Unfortunately, he will go and he will get worked over by the long legged Mack Daddy and Skippy, his little tricycle riding friend.

I wouldn’t have gotten all that jazzed about getting a call from the One myself, just saying.

And I heard today on FNC that Skippy’s choice of brew was ‘Red Stripe’.

I found the Blue Moon(cop) and Red Stripe(commie marxist) symbolism striking.
