'I supported him. I voted for him. I will not again'... (ON CNN)

Yes those were my thoughts as soon as I saw her hug the officer after saying that to the CNN reporter! I hope she doesn’t have to “pay” for what she said!

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“Many times I feel like a ship without a port. My black associates think I’m a sellout because I don’t support Obama and white folk just assume because I’m black I support him and voted for this catastrophe.”

I understand and I'm sorry you have to contend with that. I have tremendous respect for this brave and articulate woman. It's her business who she votes for, and what she did by standing up for what she believes is right is wonderful.

I grew up in a neighborhood that had race riots at one point. I have seen lots of prejudice, but I have also seen incredible changes over the past three decades, and I'm so happy about that. I don't want anything to diminish the progress we've made. I feel that Obama, as the first African American president, had/has a responsibility to govern as a moderate, and to be seen as a great president for all the nation. He's letting his ideological dogma get in the way of that.

I’m glad that she chose now to speak out.

Think about how this relates to Sonia Sotomayor. Obama responded to this situation in the same way that he expects Sonia Sotomayor to rule on cases before her. He did not know all the facts and he let EMPATHY for Professor Gates influence his conclusion for what happended. He didn’t let facts get in the way of justice.

Excellent point.

My message to her: “Lady, now might be the time to consider asking one of your fellow cops to moonlight as your security detail, say for the next 3 1/2 years.”

[1951Boomer]

Maybe add a little humor to the situation by saying, “Well, it’s his WHITE half I disagree with!” Seriously, I commend you for your intellectual honesty. It’s kind of like being a Baptist back in 1976 who saw right through old Jimmah Cah-tuh.

[swheats]

LOL a whole new world opens up.

This lady is brave, to say this publicly.

She can expect an IRS audit in the near future. And the state run media isn't going to be kind to her when they dig through her past (and the trash cans on the street corner).

I hope more people are waking up to the danger we are facing with this Administration, but I have lost hope in change.

Now I'm just making preparations to protect my family when the bottom drops out.

[FreeReign]

Ok. She put a lot on the line blasting her opinion like that.

Yes, she most certainly did.

[NoRedTape]

Great News! .........and we can only surmise that thousands upon thousands of the ‘duped’ feel the same way. WE need to vote out out as man Dims as possible in 2010....and beyond. WE need to get that imbecile Pelosi out of office as soon as possible, as well. WE need to right the sinking ship.

My vote for the worst breaking news thread is the WEEKLY posting of the REGULARLY SCHEDULED Sunday Morning Talk Show thread. Exactly what part of “regularly scheduled, weekly programming” is Breaking News? Anyone??

[ketelone]

Now, off topic, but she’s pretty cute, in a chick cop kinda way....

[Doogle]

...be interesting to see if the local branch of ACORN pickets the woman's home in reaction to speaking the truth,supporting a fellow officer,and making Odumbo REVEAL his inner self. LET'S see if CNN will follow up how she is treated by the new civilian “army”.

[don-o]

The weekly Sunday show thread is posted in BN at the direction of board ownership, IIRC.

[Caipirabob]

Prayers that God will protect her from the leftist assault to come.

[cranked]

“’I supported him. I voted for him. I will not again’” = a new 2010 and 2012 bumper sticker for all you business venture minded people. ;-)

[RetiredArmy]

Right. Sure. When the bro runs against the white guy or white woman in 3 years, the blacks will vote block for the black guy. No racism there. Jest voten’ fer der own. Of course, Obama does not LIVE in the White House. He STAYS in the White House.

[Marysecretary]

Or at least a beer on his picnic table...

Thank you. I will remember you posting that in deciding whether to donate money to this site during the freep-a-thon.
