The professor, the policeman and the president are ready to share a beer - and maybe a few thoughts about race and law enforcement in the US.
The gathering set for tomorrow evening may help President Barack Obama write a sudsy but happy ending to an arrest that triggered a fierce debate over race relations and briefly knocked him off his stride.
--snip--
Crowley, who is white, arrested Gates, who is black, after an investigation into a suspected burglary found no burglars but escalated into a heated exchange between the men at Gates' home. When Obama said last Wednesday that the police had "acted stupidly," the national debate over racial profiling become so fierce that the president had to intercede again on Friday to get the public's attention back to his health care agenda.(continued)

With all due respect, I suspect Sgt. Crowley is or was a Democrtatic union hack. He's a fine officer of the law but, he's a Democrat and he gets to be on TV with Obama.
At this point, I'd settle for Biden! GO BIRTHERS!!!!
NOT IN A MILLON YEARS....
We are a land of Lunatics. Clinton vs. Dole. Bush vs. Gore; Bush Vs. Kerry, Obama vs. McCain...
Apparently, there are no intelligent life forms interested in running for POTUS...
I am a white person and I, who looked into the background of 0bama, did not vote for this nightmare and join those golfing friends and ask the same question.How could so many Americans have been soooooooooooo stupid to elect this monster.....
You are an idiot. FDR was no communist dictator.
Who knew? Here, all of these years I thought I was smart! I was thinking about the time that he issued the EXECUTIVE ORDER banning the personal ownership of gold. Congress and the SCOTUS took a constitutional pass and Americans got screwed. He also tried to pack the court but just bought them off instead. Then, there was that Yalta thing with Stalin, but, oh never mind. Revaunchism is the rule of the day... FDR was an American patriot! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell no. Obama is going to drag Gates an Crowley in front of the press. Gates will offer his hand an say I am sorry IF YOU ARE !!
Crowley loses an is made the racist fool no matter what he does at that point.
Crowley needs to maintain his proffessionalism an go back to work today !!
I was at a suburban gathering this past weekend and the number of affluent, soccer moms who supported Bush and then voted for Obama was staggering. Bush really pissed them off and the GOP is no longer appealing to them. Short of economic disaster, the GOP has lost some very affluent and consistent voters. Romney had better not be the GOP nominee or we are looking at four more years of Obama. Its insane, but these women see Obama as a young, energetic and sexy guy.
Dont take it too hard, lots of people are ignorant. We came out of the the depression just fine because of FDR. and no he didn't extend it by 7 years.
LOL.
First of all, the media, with the willing assistance of the GOP, nominated John McCain to run against 0bama.McCain ran to lose, much in the pattern of Bob Dole.
Second, while vote fraud was clearly occurring no one really challenged it with any vigor. Couple that with the fact that Democrats, especially blacks and hispanics, came out to vote in large numbers, while Republicans who showed up to vote were only motivated to vote against 0bama, not for McCain.
And there seemed to be a larger than normal group of Republicans & Inderpendents who were either fooled, didn't care, or just wanted to vote for the first black President (white guilt) to show how enlightened they were.
It was the "perfect storm". And now we're watching the flood waters continue to rise as the tsunami swamps the American economy slowly but surely.
We came out of the depression because Hitler invaded Poland and Tojo bombed Pearl Harbor because the Polio stricken FDR appeared to be a weakening president. Cost lot of people their lives, that weakened president... I think he was a Communist sympathizer and good friend of Stalin. We spent the next generation cleaning up his international mess and we are living with the direct results of his pandering to the Soviet Union today. Ask Billy Ayers...
I would suggest .....A majority of Americans “THAT” voted elected this POS. Not the majority of Americans
You need to take at least a rudimentary course in US history. Might I suggest a good community college in your area?
Thank you for validating my point. Self respect goes out the window when he gets to be on TV with a really important Bigot.
That Jon Stuart was right, and America is dumb?
vaudine
I’d be glad to teach the course if you like. I can bring pictures...
Yep
