WASHINGTON (AP) - The success of President Barack Obama's ambitious agenda—from health care and climate change to education—could depend on how quickly he recovers from the sharp drop in support among white voters after criticizing a white policeman's arrest of a black Harvard scholar.
Obama's widely publicized effort to defuse the first racial flare-up of his young presidency by inviting the protagonists to the White House last week for beers and conversation ended well by most accounts, even though there were no apologies.
Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. Joseph Crowley and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. agreed to disagree about the July 16 confrontation at Gates' home and pledged to meet again.

This is so absurd! Whitey Americans didn’t all of sudden say “We don’t like him anymore because he was mean to one of us.” IT IS HIS PATHOLOGICAL LYING ON HEALTH CARE AND HIS INEPT/DISASTROUS ECONOMIC POLICIES AND HARD MARXISM!!!
NO ONE IS FOOLED ANYMORE BY THE BS!
Scholar??? Pleease.
Funny, no where can this nasty foul mouthed jerk be mentioned without referring to him as a "black Harvard scholar". They may as well call the officer a "white red neck policeman". Oh, that's what they are doing.
Oh yeah. If it weren’t for that “slip of the tongue” by the president I’d be 100% behind socialized medicine!
The “opinion makers” have gone totally bonkers.
I do believe Jennifer is saying that Obamas success depends on Whitey.
And he will also see them as the cause for his demise, furthering his hatred for them.
Crowley was much too nice thru all of this. I wouldn’t have given these racists any escape route.
This writer wants to work for odumbo
Was Crowley forced to throw his friend, the black officer who supported him, under the bus? That guy was courageous and honest, and for his trouble, he was branded an Uncle Tom. It’s shameful!
Typical MSM fluff. These people run from the truth.
She has been, for many months now.
Loven's agenda is always transparent. Her husband is a former Clinton staffer, Kerry advisor, and all around big time liberal Kahuna:
“This writer wants to work for odumbo”
Associated Press?
She already does.
That is why she is a “writer” and not a reporter
Well yes, the 'byline' says it all. Click on the keyword above or click here:

She has a history of writing absurdity.
Jenny Loven: "I'd do anything for you, my pimp daddy."
Zero: "Yeah, I know. Now get back out on the street, biatch."
I never heard it reported what exactly he taught at Harvard for the first week of this story. It was always "Professor Gates" or "Harvard scholor", but as soon as I heard what he said to the cop I thought to myself he's got to be a black studies professor. I mean could you imagine a Physics or Calculus teacher or an Economist of Thomas Sowells caliber saying something like "I'll talk to yo mama outside!!" to a cop. Good thing Harvard exists or "scholors" like Gates would have to flip burgers.
s/b "slandering an entire police department as 'acting stupidly' for not lapping up Sharptonian defecation like kitty's milk"--
