White House Beer Garden

This has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, as well as an illustration of what I meant when I said Obama was not qualified to be president. This whole thing is pretty simple. The President of the United States should have kept his mouth shut from the very get-go on this issue, yet could not resist his community agitator past and chose to make this a racial issue and a slap in the face of law enforcement. This after saying that he didn't know the facts.

Basically, you have a cop called by a neighbor reporting a potential break-in. Cop shows up to home in question and asks to see the resident's ID. All Mr. Gates had to do was provide it and the whole story ends there. Instead, he berates the officer for being a racist, following him outside of the house and continuing to make a scene. Sgt. Crowley arrests Gates for disorderly conduct. I'm not sure how race even factors in to this whole situation, except for the fact that Gates decided to scream racism. For the record, there was also a black cop and a Hispanic cop at the scene, and they both said Sgt. Crowley did the right thing. In walks Obama.

First of all, this is a local law enforcement issue. This is not something for the president to comment on. But then to say that even though you don't know the facts, it's obvious that the police acted stupidly is just moronic.

Then Obama seems suprised that people are outraged that he's siding with a known race-baiter like Gates over law enforcement. He decides to have both men to the White House for a beer so he can appear to act as a mediator and they can have a "summitt" on race relations when there was never any racial issues other than Gates to begin with! This is our fearless leader.

God help us.
