The Presidential Beer Summit

So it finally happened. The event that we've all been waiting for: President Obama, Professor Gates & Sergeant Crowley met on the White House lawn and had a beer. This was supposed to be an effort to help ease race relations, especially between the police and "people of color". Are we to believe that race relations can be solved over a beer? I'm always open for a beer, but come on!

(By the way, I must mention that since VP Joe Biden had nothing more important to do, he also participated in the beer summit.)

Let's call this the way it its. The Beer Summit Of 2009 was nothing more than a photo op for the President. He put his foot in his mouth and, as a result, pissed off police departments across the country. After saying that the Cambridge Massachusetts PD acted stupidly, I guess he expected the police to line up to thank him for backing them up?

Obama could have nipped his gaffe in the bud by simply apologizing. After all, didn't he embark on the World Apology Tour earlier this year? But, instead of apologizing to the Cambridge PD, Obama said that he could have "calibrated his words differently". What a crock of bullshit!

Obama received huge support from police departments around the country during his campaign. Of course, this was mainly due to the unions (who almost ALWAYS vote Democrat), but they still threw a lot of votes his way. And this is how Obama thanks them?

How bad does it look when the Commander In Chief is throwing local police departments under the bus at a national press conference? And, without knowing all of the facts, stating that racial profiling is going on all over the country? Yeah, that should really boost morale!

What I find so ironic about this whole "beer summit" is that the cop was portrayed as the bad guy. Wasn't it the professor who ran his mouth and brought up the whole issue of race in the first place? And wasn't it Obama who fueled the fire by calling the cops stupid? While I'm at it, isn't it Professor Gates who seems to have a problem with white people? And wasn't it President Obama himself who spent twenty years listening to the anti-white hate speech of Reverend Jeremiah Wright? Since I'm on a roll, wasn't it the First Lady who wasn't proud of her country UNTIL her husband became the front runner in the President campaign of 2008?

Hmmmm.........kinda sounds like the ones who are accusing the police departments of being racist, are actually racists themselves! Could it be a double standard? Nah, of course not!

I thought Obama was supposed to be the "healer". He was supposed to bring the country together. After his dose of "hope and change" kicked in, we were all supposed to be sitting around the camp fire singing Kum-Ba-Ya. It doesn't seem to be working out that way to me. We're probably more divided now that any time in recent history.

I never bought into any of Obama's bullshit, so this latest facade doesn't surprise me. To me, you had two racists that made errors in judgment trying to dilute things by spreading the blame. I personally find it laughable that a black man who holds top position in the United States is making ANY accusations of racism. Quite simply, if this country is as racist as Obama might want you believe, he would have never become President.

But let's not let facts get in the way of a good argument......
