After having their beers (they have a frank discussion about the Harvard incident, white on black racist history, and how Sgt. Crowley was S-O-O-O very wrong in his “over-reaction” to a commonplace black verbal outrage,) Obama holds a brief outdoor press briefing.

He tells the media that everything got “straightened out,” then allows Gates to make a brief, unapologetic statement, and hands the microphone to Sgt. Crowley.

The Sgt. commences to lambaste the President for getting involved in the first place, and continued to be involved ONLY because the professor was a personal friend.

He continues, saying that this incident is indicative of what’s wrong with race relations in America, when perennially angry Afro-Americans can repeatedly assault white police officers with chants of “racist” and are then not held to account for their remarks, but are instead, enshrouded with the “victim” label.

The White House Press Corps stand there stunned, with their mouths agape at the officer’s tirade…

The perfect bully-pulpit ambush!
