Obama says cops aren’t stupid after all
OK, let’s review the sequence of events.
A liberal black professor at liberal Harvard University for some reason locked himself out of his house in liberal Cambridge, MA. While trying to break into his own house, a liberal neighbor called the liberal police department because it looked like a burglary was in progress, and a liberal cop shows up to see what’s going on. The race-obsessed liberal black professor then causes a scene and disrupts everything and calls the liberal cop a racist and insults his parentage, etc. So the liberal cop arrests the liberal professor for disorderly conduct. Charges are later dropped.
The liberal President of the United States decides to comment on a local news story by calling the liberal police officer stupid and claiming that he was continuing a long pattern of racism against minorities.
This is what happens when Barack Obama goes off the teleprompter. We get to hear what he really thinks, and it turns out he’s a jackass.
Today he pulled a Plugman and attempted to “clarify” his comment. He said calling the police stupid was an “unfortunate choice of words” and that he could have “calibrated those words differently.”
Now, instead of suggesting the cop acted stupidly, Obama says the cop “overreacted.” Could be. But so did the President. On National TV. In Primetime. He never should have engaged himself in such a minor issue the way he did. It was “stupid.”
Speaking of stupid, I present Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed a suggestion that the backlash from police groups could be distressing to the White House, given that Obama has enjoyed a positive relationship with the law enforcement community.
"I think the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed McCain," Gibbs fired back at reporters, referring to Obama’s Republican opponent in the 2008 election. "If I’m not mistaken."
Oh. My. God. So some reporter asks him if he thinks the issue will affect Obama’s relationship with police, and his response is to rip the fucking cops for endorsing McCain and suggesting that there is no positive relationship between the president and law enforcement.
How does this guy still have his job?
The people who hold positions of power and influence right now must be some of the weirdest, most amateurish people ever to do so. Obama has taken what was, in the big scheme of things, a tiny, non-issue and turned it into a friggin circus sideshow because he couldn’t just let go of his racial bitterness for the last 5 minutes of his stupid press conference. Might as well bring back Jeremiah Wright, Barry. It can’t get much worse.
