    Is Rep McCotter going to introduce legislation on the bad behaviour of other politicians?

    When your political foe steps in it, the idea is to let them wallow in it, not to allow them to redirect attention to your attacks.

    Obama had said at his prime time press conference Wednesday that Crowley had “acted stupidly” in the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, a racially-infused case which has sparked a national debate on race and policing.

    Debate?? What debate? It is the usual: blacks circle the wagons around a race baiter, in this instance, Gates; while the rest of America shakes it head at what has now become a ubiquitous attempt by a black person to jump immediately to charges of racism where none obviously exist. And of course, from under their rocks, out crawl the other race hustlers: Jesse and Al, among others, to stoke the racial embers and soak up some more free pub. Not much of a debate; just more of the tiresome same.

    American Thinker had an article exposing the fact that BHO collected 17 parking tickets while at Cambridge. He obviously thought it was O.K. for him to park anywhere he pleased. Damn that Cambridge police dept. What is with them ticketing the “ONE”?. The kicker is, is that he didn’t pay the fines until he began his run for president years later. What a corrupt administration. BHO has lobbyists, tax cheats, incompetent czars and advisers. It is no wonder he went out of his way to call the Cambridge police “stupid” at his pathetic presser. They should have known he was destined for greatness.

    I think Obama owes the guy an apology, but why does a whole other branch of the government get to be involved? Does some article in the Constitution explain that the legislative branch tells the executive branch what they feel sorry for?

    Just dishing out what the race hustlers in the Dem party have been serving up against repubs for many many years. That’s politics. I don’t necessarily approve, but if we don’t start fighting fire with fire, in some instances at least, we will remain the minority party.

    I am ambivalent on this. Yes, it is a waste of Congretional time. But, I think that as a nation we gain by having, Obama, Gates, Jackson, and their ilk exposed as much as possible for their racist views. This is just one more public venue of exposure.

    In balance, since it may delay any votes on health takeover, I think it is a positive bill. I am not worried about setting precedent. Congress has had a lot of other wacky bills in the past –the recent Michale Jackson tribute, for example.

    There is nothing this White House does that is not planned. Doesn’t it seem a little strange to you that this was the last question of the news conference and then he comes back out and “tries” to walk it back… particularly with the words he used? We have learned from past experience that they are not above planting questions at news conferences. Plus, Gates is one of Chairman Zero’s communist buddies from way back.

    When you see anything happening that Chairman Zero is involved in… think and always ask yourselves… what are they trying to keep us from seeing? What are they trying to hide? They are masters of deception.

    If anyone wants to be sick, watch the video of Charlie Gibson’s ABC broadcast Friday night. This is the same Charlie Gibson who interviewed Obama after that Philly speech on race in 2008 and Gibson kept telling Obama: “Your speech was extraordinary”. Obama agreed with Gibson. But Gibson was downright jiggy on Friday night. Instead of reporting that Obama had jumped into the fray blaming the police officer without even gathering the facts, Gibson and George S portrayed Obama as once again riding to the rescue to bring Black and White together. Gibson reported breathlessly about how Obama had talked to both Crowley and Gates and Obama, as only Obama can, got them both to agree to sit down together and have a beer with President Obama. Charlie Gibson was so overwhelmed with Obama’s generous spirit that he (Charlie) wondered aloud what type of beer Obama would buy for the occasion. Charlie suggested Blue Moon would be the right choice. I almost expected Charlie G to break out and start dancing to Michael Jackson’s song “Black or White”.

    The neighbor failed to recognize Gates as the individual outside and called the police. Gates should have know that breaking into his own home might generate some consequences. It’s not the race of the person, it’s the activity. His behavior reminded most of the Cynthia McKinny assault because a guard failed to recognize her. His race isn’t going to save him this time. This is exactly why so many are tired of discussing racial issues. There is simply no pleasing people like Gates.

    We don’t deny him his personal opinions but The President of The United States cannot voice his personal opinions to the world every time he opens his mouth in front of a microphone with the cameras rolling.

    It further assumes that we cannot be trusted with our own money…poor drooling members of the maggotry that we are…and they have to take it from us to assure we will “pay our fair share”, and not squander it on stuff we value—or withhold it from them on principle.

    What I’ve known about President Obama going back all the way to when I covered his years in the state legislature, is that he is most transparent when he does not think. What we saw in the press conference this week was an example of that, and all the mea culpa since has been pure damage control. In other words when ignorantly (literally not knowing the facts of the case) the President pronounced the police as having acted “stupidly” it just rolled out of him naturally. Because on the south side of Chicago it is what you are taught to think, believe, and joke about with one another as the patrol cars come cruising by.

    Jesse Jackson, Rainbow-Push Coalition, and the rest of the industry of outrage that make a living off of spreading such a victimhood mentality in their communities have been doing it for years. To be very honest its one of the reasons newly immigrated blacks from Africa or the Caribbean have a very hard time fitting in to such communities. As immigrants they see the opportunities in front of them as blessings and they cannot comprehend why some domestic, multi-generational black Americans won’t seize them. Victimhood is a state of mind first and foremost. Overcoming the barriers that keeps one down is exceedingly liberating.

    But on Chicago’s south side, fellow African Americans make large sums of money convincing some that they must remain angry, suspicious, and sadly–victims.

    If you pay close attention to the many apology speeches Obama has given around the would, you will find that he apologizes for America and for the actions of previous administrations but he never apologizes for his own actions.

    When President Obama sat there at the Summit of the Americas and timidly listened to Daniel Ortega’s hate filled speech against the U.S., he said nothing to defend his country. Instead, he said, “I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old.”

    Wouldn’t it be nice if white Americans could say the same thing? “We’re grateful that President Obama and the black community do not blame us for things that happened before we were born.”

    Well… it may not entirely be a redirection away from the health care debacle. It is probably a redirection away from what ACORN has been up to.

    Take a look at this:

    And… actually, ACORN, the Tides Foundation, Campaign for America’s Future, etc. are tied into the whole healthcare debacle.

    It is a huge web of deception and constant redirection that is, at best, a parasite on our real government or, at worst, replacing it in stealth.

    “stupid” rules in DC. One of Obama’s follow-up comments was priceless…that with everything going on today with the economy, health care, the war, you’d think the police would have better things to do than arrest an old man in his own home. hahaha!!! That’s almost as stupid as an earlier remark that he was going to fix the economy by correcting the underlying problems–including universal health care. His followers started out laughing, by now they should all be crying (and apologizing).

    from.

    The story changes a lot. Even though they said Hawaii Officials saw the original in 2008, some, (CNN for one), are now saying Hawaii discarded all the long forms when they put everything on the computer in 2001. Still, that’s not saying they got rid of the information they contained, just the forms.

    If you don’t believe Obama is legally qualified to be president you are likely to get called names. It’s a subject not supposed to be discussed.
    Of course, I agree with you.

    Also, I don’t think Biden hates America the way Obama does. I could be wrong, but I think Biden would do less damage to the country in the remaining 3 1/2 years than Obama has done in 6 months.

    You know what, LGM? I actually agree with you on this.

    But Re-spend-agians stopped listening to their party faithful years ago.

    So, who really cares what they do in Congress. The more they do, the more I work on ways of cutting them out of my life.

    We would be best suited to ignore all of these Washington attention whores. Don’t contribute to their funds, don’t attend their rallies (or openly challenge and ridicule them, if you must), avoid their dinners, disrespect their campaigns, and malign their actions. That’s what they’ve done to all of us.

    Neither Obama nor Gates has apologized; both have declared the wish to use this as a “teachable moment.” The race-pimping clowns who are at fault want to use the victim as a prop in their photo op.

    Crowley is just an average guy. Obama and Gates will roll him. Horrible decision if he actually appears for this charade.

    This reminds me of something I heard that was very interesting…

    On local radio last week, it was reported that Arkansas went McCain by 68%, but the percentage of blacks voting was at its lowest in more than 20 years. In fact, more Arkansas blacks turned out to vote in 2000 & 2004 than in 2008.

    Given that a democrat stronghold such as Arkansas votes conservative on national elections (but not on local and state), I will forever wonder how much fraud was overlooked just to get the first black guy into the oval office.

    The White House does not want to back off the claim of racism had something to do with the arrest. To keep “racism” in the mix the White House continues to make matters worse. Obama will not say Gates was the problem and there was no racism.

    Racism had everything to do with the arrest.

    If Gates weren’t such a bigot, he would have never made those inflammatory remarks.
