THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
____________________________________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                               July 30, 2009

Statement from the President following his conversation with the Vice President, Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley

"I am thankful to Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley for joining me at the White House this evening for a friendly, thoughtful conversation.  Even before we sat down for the beer, I learned that the two gentlemen spent some time together listening to one another, which is a testament to them.   I have always believed that what brings us together is stronger than what pulls us apart. I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode."

What a slimeball!! I hope everyone sees through this. Osama was the racebaiter now turned “teacher” claiming success for the “teachable” moment. Ultimate dirtbag.

The cop allowed himself to be used by the dirtbag! Or was this all set up to distract from the capital lost in the failure of ObamaCare???????

I thought Obama would have a Dos Equis, Is'nt he the most interesting man in the world? (According to the MSM).

Was the song ‘Ebony and Ivory’ playing softly in the background?

This is not over yet.

Obama's approval ratings are still plummeting.

Crowley was not amused.

Nice catch.

Look at the pic—Sgt. Crowley shows the bottom of his “Blue Moon” to Gates.

LOL.

How times have changed....

“You’ve got to be taught
To hate and fear
You’ve got to be taught
From year to Year
It’s got to be drummed
in your dear little ear
You’ve got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be taught
To be Afraid
Of people whose eyes
are oddly made
And people whose skin
Is a different shade
You’ve got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be taught
Before it’s too late
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8
To hate all the people
your relatives hate
You’ve got to be carefully taught”

“South Pacific”

Ah yes.

The odds sure weren’t in Crowley’s favor. Three against one.

Interesting. Gates and Crowley have their ties and jackets on. Plugs and Obama are in rolled up shirt sleeves. The visitors are showing their respect to the Presidency. But the occupiers have no respect for the office.

Amateur hour, folks.

Does anyone else find this disturbing? The President of the U.S. drinking beer casually like this? Can you imagine the outrage if Bush did this?

Why would Crowley submit to this? It is quite obvious that he’s the dog in this dog and pony show. You insult me, insult my mother, rub it in on national TV and you think I’d drink with these elitist snobs? No way.

Biden should have been drinking “Billy Beer”, f’n moron.

There must have been a great deal of pressure on Crowley from many sources. He was the only decent man at the table today.

Then he said “Pull my finger” and farted.
