Andrew Breitbart: On race, 'No, he can't!' [Obama's Stupidgate]

Well, that was pathetic. And it wasn't an accident. The fix was in from the beginning.

Last week's lackluster "Beer Summit" featuring Sgt. James Crowley, professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was orchestrated to end a national discussion on race, not begin one. That's why there were no microphones, even though each participant showed himself to be perfectly qualified, astoundingly articulate and camera-ready for an illuminating and much-needed public debate.

The problem for the White House was the more the esteemed professor talked, the more trouble he created for his friend, the president. The clever photo-op sans audio was crafted to yank the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research off the stage, lest anyone begin to question what is being taught at Harvard these days.

Conversely, the more Sgt. Crowley weighed in, and his brave black co-workers spoke out, the more obvious it became that a national discussion featuring this cast of characters may not end with the results the professor and the president wanted.

The status quo was at risk, and Mr. Obama used his extraordinary powers to protect it.(continued)

Right on!

When stuck in a deepening hole, the first lesson to observe is...stop digging.
President Obama doesn't seem to get that simple notion.
He is a divisive disaster to this country. The sooner 2012 gets here to vote him out, the better.

The staged beer summit ( I didn't see it either on the news, or video clips, but, heard about it ) would go down in history as a classic Saturday Night Live skit.

That photo is just as good without the changes. Zero for a reason...

"Do you know who I am?"

ROFL! Oh Roscoe, you've done it again .... ;o)))

Crowley’s black co-worker has said he’s gotten threats because he told the truth.

You should have watched it. To anyone who can follow body language, it was a wonderful show.

Especially with the court jester who was added at the last minute so the numbers would be even.

[camle]

you cannot have a dialogue on race when one side is censored, villified, and forbidden to speak freely.

[Brugmansian]

Biden was perfect as the Court Jester. Would have been even better with Al Franken as the waiter or Perez Hilton as a beer maid.

[geezerwheezer]

Sadly, the joke is still on us!

Not to mention clean and bright and nice looking. And, yes, it was a storybook.

You mean the The Joker Joe ?

I didn't watch the not so prime time ( SNL skit ) fool the sheeple show .... they didn't fool me.
I guess I'll be hauled off to the re indoctrination camps..
