Still No Apology, Obama Offers a Beer
Why a BEER? Is Obama trying to imply Sgt. Crowley to be
a 'RED NECK RACIST, and beer is hipped by the Media as their
beverage of choice? Surely Mr. Gates would much prefer a
bottle of MD 20-20 neatly hidden inside a paper sack, we all
know it to be the favored drink around the hood.
Better yet, why not invite both gentlemen to cocktails?
Or even better if Obama would, shut the fuck up already!
Barack Obama may have tried to divert attention from his falling
popularity or his troubled health care bill by commenting on the
arrest of his friend Henry Louis Gates, but I don't think this
is the attention he had in mind.
By saying the police acted "stupidly," without even knowing the
facts in the case, Obama showed that he is never too shy to get
involved in questions of race, especially if it allows him to rant
about how bad some people in this country still have it.
Except for groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama's
comments have been soundly criticized. Yet, he has still not
apologized publicly to Police Sgt. James Crowley, who, by all
accounts, acted professionally and "by the book" in responding to
a call by a neighbor regarding a possible break-in at Gates' home.
Instead, Obama has invited Gates and Crowley to share a beer with
him at the White House. How lovely... Throw out a comment about
how racist America still is and then make light about it by inviting
folks over for a beer.
