Teachable Moment My Ass!! (Repost)

@PM317; this one is for you.

The Lion King- Be Prepared- Sung by Taka and the Hyenas

You did not “give an impression” you fool. You did malign Sergeant Crowley. You just assumed that because he was a white cop he was in the wrong. Without getting any facts and without any caveat you said the Crowley acted stupidly.

Precisely. Obama STATED PLAINLY his putdown of the Cambridge police. It wasn’t an impression; it was a statement.

I thought Obamas offer of all three of them getting togather at the White House was condescending. He acts like they’re all best buddies and Crowley should be thrilled to sit and share a beer with a man who called him a racist and insulted his mother and another man who said his actions were stupid. I see that Gates has accepted the invitation. I think if Crowley declines then it looks like he’s holding a grudge and if he accepts then he gives Obama just what he wants. I see it as jst a PR stunt where you know after the meeting is over, Obama will be sure to issue a statement subtly praising himself as being the go between helping these “two excellent men come togather in a shared purpose to understand one another” or some other sort of BS. And then Obama feels his hands are clean and noone needs to pay any more attention to the careless comment he made last week.

Obama could care less about Crowley being wronged. But he knows Americans do so he has to do something to look like he’s trying to make up to the man without actually having to apologize nor holding Gates accountable for his bad behavior. So if they can have their Kumbaya, We Are The World moment in the WH, then Obama figures it can all be put behind him.

This is so bad it’s blown past embarrassing into the realm of absurdity. Is this the character of our Leader?

For Obama to broadcast these statements in such an inexperienced and juvenile way on a “nitro meet glycerin” issue like this he’s either clinical, an ignoramus or is in on it. Either way he’s gone in 2012 and severely limited in his destructions by 2010 IMO.

I have never witnessed the melt down of a President as I have witnessed with Obama. I’ve never seen the veneer peel off so quickly. We are witnessing history alright and first hand the audacity of Dope.

I really am beginning to wonder about Obama the Great (Failure)’s intelligence. So far he’s only proven he’s good and being crafty, nothing else. To try to quell this by condescendingly calling it a teachable moment is really quite bizarre. Can he just not help himself? what is *wrong* with this man?

yeah, Seattle,

Obama’s functioning paradigm seems to go along with being a racist. Why didn’t the rest of America pick up on this when he was letting his minions accuse everyone and their dog of being racists during the campaign?

Un-f***kin’ believable

But, I still believe the nation had a little help in (s)electing their first black president. ACORN..

Ok I think if you listen at you will hear this quote that I got from Boston Globe, which can be heard in the video above.
“I continue to believe that there was an overreaction in pulling professor Gates out of his home and to the station,’’ Obama said. “I also continue to believe, based on what I’ve heard, that professor Gates overreacted, as well.’’

Ok I have had a few friends comment on his word usage in this statement too.
“Overreaction in pulling professor gates out of his home.”

Not sure about some of you but the picture I get and a few of my friends got from that statement was not kewl.
Some interpreted it as Obama saying Gates had been dragged from his home.

Did Obama have his teleprompter? If so he needs a new writer.

Obama learned his hatred of America well. First through his Father, to his Mother to his Step-Father his Arab buddies, his Harvard/Occidental radical friends…then the icing? Reverend Wright and the Chicago crime machine.
It should have been evident to all that he simply hates this country and when he said he wanted to “change it, that is what he meant. The stimulus is reparations as is Obamacare. When that elated woman said ‘Obama is going to pay for my house and gas” what she MEANT to say is “THE TAXPAYERS are going to pay for my house, my car, my food, my health care and my existence.” (I have proof that government is buying welfare recipients new cars as admitted by a dealership owner)When I first started blogging more than a year ago, the black Obama supporters had no problems telling me this was about reparations. Their words “we will take your money, your houses, your jobs, your women..we will OWN you when Obama wins.” ACORN made sure he would win. This was a coup and because we are too trusting as a nation, we fell for it.

I WOULD SAY PRETTY DAMN TEACHABLE GIVEN HOW MANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE ON THIS ISSUE ON NQ!!!

Hillary is beginning to show the kind of tough Goldwater leadership that I knew she would give at State.
By declaring that Iran won’t be allowed to intimidate with Nukes shows that Hillary is now doing the heavy lifting for our wimp in chief.
Appeasement is being replaced with reality and pragmatism…Just in time and elevates Hillary’s status.

The democrats are losing not only because of a failed retreat and defeat foreign policy
But also because of tax and kill legislation and the proposed Death care bill

Folks are beginning to understand that if you have these types of policies in a crashing world economy that you must be pretty stupid or not care about Americans to try to push such crap at this time.

I went over to a link posted on HuffPo, a letter written in the Harvard school newspaper by Gates colleagues in the Dept. of African American Studies, supporting him of course, and the letters in reply from the kids at Harvard lead me to believe that Gates doesn’t have much support behind him in the student body. It’s at thecrimson.com, if one of you could post the link for the old lady. (Sorry!)

This is so good…so true:

Obama’s Accidental Gift on Race
By Andrew Breitbart

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/07/27/obamas_accidental_gift_on_race_97637.html

Less than a month after being confirmed as the nation’s attorney General, Eric H. Holder Jr. called out the American people as “essentially a nation of cowards” for refusing to talk openly about race.

So, thank you, professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and President Obama, for starting the long-awaited national discussion on black and white identity – while averting our attention from the cockamamie scheme to nationalize health care.

And kudos to the professor and the president for choosing Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department as the representative of the Caucasian-American side of this difficult and much-needed historic debate.

Poetry was at work as the archetypal racist white cop who, according to the admittedly fact-challenged president, “stupidly” arrested his “friend.” Sgt. Crowley waged a swift and effective public relations campaign that quashed the racism meme that Mr. Gates was recklessly pushing.

Sgt. Crowley, as it happens, is the Cambridge police force’s hand-picked racial profiling expert and was selected by a former black police commissioner. He also performed CPR on black basketball star Reggie Lewis, whose widow praised the public servant for doing everything he could to save her husband. Sgt. Crowley’s own police department immediately jumped to his defense in a picture-perfect multiracial photo op and press conference.

Even though Mr. Gates and Sgt. Crowley are poised to put their individual grievances to rest – over a beer negotiated by the president of the United States – the scope of the problem that brought them international attention lingers, underscoring the need for continued robust public dialogue.

We’re finally talking, Mr. Holder and Mr. Obama. Why stop now?

Of course, the attorney general is essentially right in his assessment. Much of America is petrified to bring up race, especially in public forums – the media, in particular. But for exactly the opposite reasons Mr. Holder, the Obama administration and the brain trust of modern liberalism assert.

Americans, especially nonblacks, are deeply fearful that the dynamic is predicated on an un-American premise: presumed guilt. Innocence, under the extra-constitutional reign of political correctness, liberalism’s brand of soft Shariah law, must be proved ex post facto.

Think not? Ask the Duke lacrosse team, which had 88 of the school’s professors sign a petition that presumed their guilt before their side of the story was known. Even though the white athletes were exonerated and the liberal district attorney who pushed the case was dethroned, disbarred and disgraced, the professoriate that assigned guilt to its own students still refuses to apologize.

Those signatories constituted 90 percent of Duke’s African and African-American Studies Department, the subject-matter domain of Mr. Gates, Michael Eric Dyson, Cornel West and other tenure-wielding, highfalutin, iambic-pentameter-filibustering race baiters, and 60 percent of Duke’s women’s studies department, another hotbed of victimology posing as intellectualism.

While the media was front and center in preparing for the public executions of the three Duke lacrosse players, they scurried away when they were proved innocent. The Democratic Media Complex, in its pursuit of Orwellian hate-crime legislation, reparations and sundry non-ameliorative resolutions to America’s troubled racial past, pursues its victims with blood lust. But it cannot act in good faith to redeem those it has destroyed in countless rushes to judgment. (Richard Jewell, R.I.P.)

The mainstream media choose to flaunt story lines that make white America appear guilty of continued institutional racism, while black racism against whites is ignored as an acceptable disposition given our nation’s history. This double standard provides a game board on which the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can thrive in perpetuity and ensures racial progress is slowed.

And that is why the Case of Sergeant Crowley vs. Professor Gates is so important. As is expected from professional race baiters, Mr. Gates instigated a public brouhaha over race. And Mr. Obama, a man who attended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racist sermons for 20 years, used the bully pulpit to grant his friend a national platform to condemn a man for doing his job.

Sgt. Crowley, a proud and defiant public professional, played the moment perfectly and stopped his own assassination by media. Talk about a postmodern hero. Whether he likes it or not, Sgt. Crowley is a potent symbol of how the union has managed to become more perfect, a Rosa Parks of rush-to-judgment “reverse racism.”

Now that the facts of the case show that his friend the professor was the man doing the racial profiling, the president wants to end the discussion.

Now we see what the attorney general meant when he spoke of cowards.

Could it be something like this that has the man who never was is taking aim at law enforcement? And his minion whatever her face was called who spoke of returning soldiers as possible “domestic terrorists?

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army” – Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island
