Beer Pong With Barry

Man, liberals are wacky. Forget pong. I heard the Secret Service has been put on notice to be sure to not let the Cop confiscate Barry's favorite bong. He claims he can't govern without it, but I think he might want to give a try. It isn't like things could get much worse.

"I hope what is essentially a photo op will trigger a broader policy response," said Wade Henderson, executive director of the Leadership Council on Civil Rights. "And it's Congress's role to take that on."

Obama is having Bud Light. Bud Light is the #1 best selling beer in America. Regular Bud is best seller #2. Obama knows the taste of the common man. Shows his political skill in beer choice. He likes hamburgers also. Five Guys and Ray's Hell Burgers.

"I hope what is essentially a photo op will trigger a broader policy response,"

A broader policy response? What kind of policy response does the executive director of the leadership Council on civil Rights imagine? The correct variety of beer to serve to a racist?

Because let's face it, the way Obama has misplayed this, someone at that table is a racist. Otherwise there was no need for the 'beers' much less the photo opt.

Frankly, I preferred it back in the good old days when Clinton used to let Arafat (sp?)cool his jets in the Rose Garden while he and Monica played hide the cigar on the floor of the Oval Office. Now that was a Democrat acting presidential.

Mrs. P. Very funny - what kind of beer to serve to a racist. "Lemme Drink You Perty"? Or maybe, "Can't We All Just Get Along Lite"?

This whole thing is too embarrassing for a civilized culture. Love that Gates is bringing his lawyer. gak.

Mrs. P. Interesting reaction. Someone HAS to be a racist if there are black and white people in a confrontation. (Racists under every bed, no?)

The other funny part is you think Obama has misplayed this. Certainly, he should not have entered this fray. But then he did and now has jujitsued his way into being a winner in this event. He is going to come out looking like a regular beer drinking guy and America's even handed mediator. He wins again! Sorry, I know this burns...

wally, you have a funny idea of what a winner looks like -from Bloomberg

Obama called the matter a “teachable moment” for the nation on the sensitive topic of race.

“I don’t think we should expect much,” said David Harris, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law who specializes on racial profiling and police behavior. “This is a meeting between three people, one of them is the president, but he knows he’s already taken a step too far.”

The ‘Teachable Moment’

“If there’s a teachable moment here, it’s that there’s a lot about each other we don’t understand,” he said.

Crowley told Boston’s WHDH that the ground rules for the session were that there will be no rehashing of the arrest, no statements will be made unless all three agree to talk to the media and no apologies will be demanded or made. [...]

Administration officials also sought to put the situation behind them. Questions about the evening’s meeting -- including the details of what beer will be served or offered and whether snacks or hors d’oeuvres will be provided -- have at times sidetracked the administration’s focus on health care and the economy.

A poll conducted in July by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 79 percent of the public had heard about the incident involving Gates and Crowley, with 46 percent saying they’ve heard a lot about it. Forty-one percent disapproved of Obama’s handling of the situation and 29 percent approved. The poll of 480 people has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.

One, David Harris, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law who specializes on racial profiling and police behavior said this about your winner -"but he knows he’s already taken a step too far". And Professor Harris said this about the beer summit - "I don’t think we should expect much"

So the ground rules for the beer summit were-where Obama was, according to you, the winner - "no rehashing of the arrest, no statements will be made unless all three agree to talk to the media and no apologies will be demanded or made."

Sounds a lot like outcome based education.

So what exactly was accomplished by Obama's beer summit? The article gives us the answer:

"Questions about the evening’s meeting -- including the details of what beer will be served or offered and whether snacks or hors d’oeuvres will be provided -- have at times sidetracked the administration’s focus on health care and the economy."

Thankfully the genius -that would be Obama- sidetracked his Waterloo.

And what does the public think? Again the article tells us:

"79 percent of the public had heard about the incident involving Gates and Crowley, with 46 percent saying they’ve heard a lot about it. Forty-one percent disapproved of Obama’s handling of the situation and 29 percent approved."

You're right Wally. That's exactly my kind of win for Obama...

You'll have to excuse Wally, Mrs. Peperium. He's like most hiring managers who realize that their decision to hire a token based solely on skin color and ignoring qualifications or credentials wasn't a good one, but who refuses to admit that. Eventually they end up getting themselves fired because their covering up for their token's idiocy ruins their own performance.

[Mrs. Peperium]

Dallas, heh.

And don't forget that Barack Obama today made it clear that he endorsed and supported this rhetoric:

"Black will not be asked to get in back;
When Brown can stick around;
When Yellow will be mellow;
When the Red Man can get ahead, man;
And when White will embrace what is right."

Too bad your racist keeps endorsing and supporting his fellow black racists, Wally.

" Certainly, he should not have entered this fray. But then he did and now has jujitsued his way into being a winner in this event "

obama comes off looking stupid, all of the polls say so.

The "teachable moment" was the Duke LaCross team.This is class envy masked as race.
