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."

"Why would Crowley submit to this? "

I think it hd to do with keeping his job or with retaining some hope of ever making it to Lieutenant Crowley.

Is that a face in Biden’s beer? (kinda upside down). Spooky.

[TSgt]

Am I the only one who sees Satan in this photo?

[hole_n_one]

Mr. Peanut?........

[chiefqc]

The only thing that was important about this meeting was that there were cameras there as ANOTHER PHONY photo-op for obozo, the liar.

[Pajamajan]

I was thinking Alfred E. Neuman of the old Mad Magazine.

Still kind of a weird shadow.

What is that? The second gunman on the grassy knoll?

[rabidralph]

And then Crowley should have said, “I wish 13 percent of the population would stop committing 40 percent of its crimes,” and then slam down another Blue Moon :-)

[dancusa]

Alan Colmes?

[PghBaldy]

Five “I”
One “Me”

The guy is a pain in this whitey’s behind. How this helps anyone is beyond me.

[ladyjane]

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

Well put.

[PghBaldy]

Very eerie. With Obama, who knows? The man is blood curdling nasty.

[thecodont]

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.

Ah, sort of like this?

[Gator113]

Obama continues to look the racist fool that he is.......

[Ramius]

What is that? The second gunman on the grassy knoll?

That's the Secret Service agent waiting in the trees, ready to hit Joe Biden in the neck with a tranq dart, in case he actually starts talking.

[dancusa]

FOTFLOL!

[Admin Moderator]

Thanks for letting us know. :)

[Palladin]

Good one!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

LOL I thought it looked liked Michael Jackson. Gave me the creeps.

Notice the order of names in the official press release. In government protocol, persons are listed in alphabetical order BY LAST NAME. Unless one is considered more important than the other by virtue of official rank or station. In Obama’s world, his friend beginning with “G” trumps the police sergeant whose name begins with “C.” Don't smile. I was once a government protocol/press officer (not military) and great care is taken over such matters. Crowley has just been insulted again.
