Barack Obama “Beer Summit” Will Fail Unless He, Gates Publicly Apologize to Sgt. James Crowley

By Laura • August 2nd, 2009

(7.30.09) — The Barack Obama – Henry Louis Gates – Sgt. James Crowley meeting at the White House is doomed to failure unless Obama and Gates publicly apologize to Crowley.

According to public opinion polls, the majority of America feels that Barack Obama has mishandled the situation, particularly when he answered a question about Gates’ arrest at his press conference last week.

Additionally, new polling shows that approximately three times as many respondents feel that Gates is more at fault for his arrest than is Crowley.

With those statistical dynamics at work, irregardless of any other factors, it seems almost certain that this “PR Diplomacy” event at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will not achieve what Team Obama desires unless the president and the professor apologize — for the cameras — to the Cambridge cop.

Should Obama and Gates choose not to do this, look for more fallout in the polls. Representative Thaddeus McCotter [R-MI] is prepared to introduce a House resolution asking for Obama to apologize if the president does not do so of his own volition, and McCotter has at least two other signers/co-sponsors for the resolution already.

The public wants those it considers at fault to show contrition. Beers and smiles will not be enough to complete the narrative for the nation.

Let’s hope that Gates and Obama are amenable to tabling their egos for the good of the country and their own reputations today. If not, look for further slippage in the approval ratings of an already-sinking Obama.

Apology is the …
Apology is the focal point of this racial incident. For 50 years the mantra of fighting for equal opportunity, civil rights, voting rights has focused on white malfeasance. Well, that wrong doing has been corrected. However, the fight continues but the focus has changed. Now its white people, white privilege and historical legacies rather than institutions or public officials that are railed against as racist. Gates &Obama imprisoned by this racist profile can’t comprehend apologies.

The only way we can …
The only way we can top this is to invite a klan member to white lawn.

5 STARS!!
5 STARS!!

Sgt. Crowley has …
Sgt. Crowley has handled himself with dignity.
And President Obama can try to smooth it over all he wants. The fact is he took the opportunity to make it look like “the poor black man” being hassled by a white cop. OBAMA, I hope you are impeached! You are full of baloney in everything that you do.

That’s tight
That’s tight

Yep, the Obama beer …
Yep, the Obama beer summit went flat.. .. Some expected Obama to find the balls and be man enough to apologize to the cop but, of course, that didn’t happen ! On a positive note, at least they were able to keep Joe Biden from getting drunk .. the man’s a big enough idiot without the booze.

i’m tired of …
i’m tired of everyone playing the race card i never knew anyone who was racist and it is just a cheap shot people use to get out of trouble. and why did you disable ratings i was going to give you five stars

56gig: Only POTUS …
56gig: Only POTUS can be impeached.

Kenyans can’t be POTUS. So Obama can’t be impeached.

yea, i thought …
yea, i thought crowley was going to bring his lawyer with him.

The “affirmative …
The “affirmative action” prez IS a cheap chicago THUG who chimed in on things just like the community organizer that he is

Personally I think …
Personally I think that Crowley is making a mistake by attending this event. Gates went on a media tour smearing him and Obama magnified it intentionally when the opportunity presented itself. I just can’t understand why he would allow himself to be used by them like this.

Obama is evil. Evil …
Obama is evil. Evil through and through.
He is not my president.
Impeach him before he ruins our country.

Amen
Amen

By CourtneysAuntSara on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Not true, OBAMA …
Not true, OBAMA made this a national issue. Yes Gates was over reacting BUT he was not the Pres calling a private citizen a racist cop. Obama’s true racism came out.

By CourtneysAuntSara on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Obama publicly …
Obama publicly insulted Off Crowly so Obama MUST publicly appoligize. Period.

By OffTheElitists on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

“Beer Summit”?

“Beer Summit”?
That’s so stupid. lol

By NoCensorshipYT on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Precisely!
Glen …

Precisely!
Glen Beck is now being called a racist for calling Obama a racist.
As far as most of us are concerned the real racists here are Gate’s and Obama!
Typical double standard.

Apologize to a ” …
Apologize to a “white man !!” Fantasy !! Obama would lose 33% of the black vote if he ever “degrated” himself that way. Of course, the media will bow to Saint Obama (no matter what he does or says at the mic following this charade) and will declare him the “healer.” No ML Kings here. Meanwhile, Crowley will be respectful and polite.

By LizzyxDarcy on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

And Obama….
And Obama….

By ConservativeNewMedia on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

No way, that’s just …
No way, that’s just another Obama Media fantasy.

Some news reporter …
Some news reporter said Crowley requested the meeting. Not sure how much truth there is to that.

The only person who …
The only person who made this a racial issue was Gates.

By MrHelldogger on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

He’s a much better …
He’s a much better man than me, cause I would publicly tell these 2 agitaters to go to .

By NoCensorshipYT on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

I think this whole …
I think this whole thing was planned because Obama has never had ANY intention to apologize!
Just saying they both OVEREACTED is about as closest thing to an apology Crowley is ever going to get.
Gate’s will never apologize either.
Ain’t happening.
The EGO the arrogance of Obama and Gate’s is THAT HUGE.

By ConservativeNewMedia on August 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

By all accounts, …
By all accounts, Crowley is a good guy and is willing to let things go. Even if he shouldn’t show up, he will.
