Obama Mouthpiece: When The President Called The Cops Stupid He Didn’t Really Mean Stupid

Everything Obama says has an expiration date. It’s getting to the point where we may not even need to listen to Obama directly any more. It would be a waste of our time. We may as well just sit around and wait for his handlers to tell us what he really meant to say.

The White House today sought to soften the tone of President Obama’s criticism of police in Cambridge, Mass. for arresting prominent professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his own home earlier this week.
Asked about the incident at his nationally televised news conference last night, Obama said he thought “any of us would be pretty angry” about such an incident and that “the Cambridge Police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.”
But this morning after several major police unions expressed outrage over the remarks, White House spokesman Robert L. Gibbs told reporters that Obama does not regret what the president said about the Cambridge Police Department, but he had not meant to specifically criticize James M. Crowley, the Cambridge police sergeant who made the arrest.
“Let me be clear,” Gibbs said. “ He was not calling the officer stupid, okay? He was denoting that . . . at a certain point the situation got far out of hand, and I think all sides understand that.”

There’s that “let me be clear” thing from the Obama administration again. Every time they say that, the only thing that’s clear is they’re about to tell us a whopper.
Obama said the cops acted stupidly. There’s no getting around that now. It’d be better for Obama and his people to just admit to the mistake than to try to convince us that we didn’t really hear what we heard.

    Nice work Barry…with one comment you managed to alienate 75% of America. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in the “higher” education system knows the Professor Gates type. A bitter, spitefull, bigoted, reverse racist with a position of power who felt embolden to make a political statement. This is the type of Professor who would change the subject on you when you attempt to engage in a debate. Also, would give you a poor grade because you actually have an opinion, and done research outside of marxist texts and such. You are fooling no one Gates. And Barry, you just–if not beforehand–lost a chance at a 2nd term. Is this “nuance” your ilk speaks of? “the police acted stupidly”?

    Shocking

    –RR,

    I agree with you, almost 100 percent, aside from that shocking part.

    As much as the drooling and fawling adulation MSM tried to cover up the fact that THE ONE had any foibles at all during the Great Lying Period (election season) all and sundry had ample warning about the racism that festers in the core of BHO.

    God-DAMN-Ah-Mare-i-kuh!

    Anyone with eyes who could see and ears that could hear knew from that moment on that they were punching a chad or throwing a lever for someone who hated America and who hated the people who comprise the vast majority of America.

    Makes you wonder why we shouldn’t consider a vote a deadly weapon. In the hands of a fool, and improperly cast, it can undo years of freedom-fighting and grease the skids into tyranny.

    Another bit of proof that Obama and his cronies think the rest of the country is dumb. He thinks Dems are dumb and he thinks the GOP is dumb (I’m setting myself up for Dino aren’t I?)

    Obama is out to rip this country to shreds in EVERY way.
    And sorry Barack, your squirelly pal Gates is a lying POS and racist coward who has NO
    problem throwing some cop under the bus so he can grandstand and namedrop.. what a piece of garbage

    For those too dense to admit it, you can now see how Obama’s idea of justice works… and it’s about as enlightened as fellow incompetent affirmative-action poster-child Sotomayor.

    Obama has no idea what happened, and doesn’t care… he’s picked his side. But back in reality, his idiot friend Gates completely and totally baited the officer, who acted with admiral restraint. This guy was clearly looking for a fight… and he ought to thank God he didn’t find one.

    I said it before, and I’ll say it again… Obama is going to destroy race relations in this country with his Black Panther “get even” mentality… what a small minded jerk some of you chose for your “messiah”

    Considering that you people were calling him a failure Jan 21st, your take on things doesn’t hold much water. He still has 3 1/2 years. Go see what Reagan was dealing with in his first two years.

    Go ahead, take the bait. Say it was Carter’s fault. :)

    I personally don’t think things are improving that well but the experts say they are stabilized. The stimulus is working; I just read an RFP for stimulus-funded projects in WA. It takes time for billions of dollars to get distributed fairly.

    All the economic indicators you mentioned were all bad before Jan 20th. Despite your claims otherwise, the mess can still be blamed on the previous administration (see Carter trap above). No one expected a quick fix; those that did will be disappointed.

    Can you imagine the trick it would have been if he achieved HC reform within a year of taking office, something that has been tried since Truman, affecting 1/6 of the economy, against HUGE opposition from the industry and republicans, all during an economic meltdown?? I am surprised he took it this far, farther than anyone else has. You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s over.

    Remember, your side’s predictive powers have left a little to be desired.

    Really?

    So-called “healthcare reform” is DOA, and so is “Cap ‘n” Tax.” Despite Obama’s pleas to the contrary. The stimulus package hasn’t, and GDP is still heading downward, while unemployment continues upward… along with Obama deficit. The Iranians are 6 months further along in their unimpeded quest for nukes and the North Koreans are still testing missiles and warheads.

    I smell a lame duck marinating.

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Petraeus Last Best Hope

    dino in overdrive here….orders from head-quarters? The polls show only the tip of the disdain for what the last 6 months of Obama have revealed to US.

    America is historically hostile to BIG GOVERNMENT….only those with a foreign agenda woulda missed this fact.

  • Bat One

    Swish,

    Your rant against Republicans is utterly meaningless. The Democrats control both houses of Congress and have 60 votes in the Senate (several fraudulent, but who’s counting!?)

    The defeat of so-called “healthcare reform” and “cap’n’ tax” are because Democrats are hearing from the folks at home who sent them to Congress in the first place, and apparently the message is that if they pass either of these bills those folks back home will replace them with Republicans when they first get the chance.

    In these tough economic times, it seems that Senators and Congressmen are not immune to concerns about job security. Obama’s coattails have shortened significantly in just the past 6 months.

  • Bat One

    Defeating health care reform will cost Republicans votes.

    Nah! In the first place, its the Democrats, the ones who control the House and the Senate, who are backing away from the Obama-care porkulus. But more importantly, the public is beginning to recognize that no matter what the shade of lipstick, this pig is anything but real healthcare reform. It is impossible to increase demand for something and reduce the cost without simultaneously increasing the supply.

    It’s not like they don’t already have a shrinking base. A base that’s too white and too old to matter. Just look at the loss of support for that sad, out of touch political party. But in their minds, it’s 1993, they’ve been waiting decades and they people are about to give them their big chance. Too bad they already had it and failed miserably.:

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/america_is_back/#c397018 DINO

    The political winds only change that fast in your fantasies.

    This isn’t 1993. The people know what republicans did. Reference the chart above.

    Republicans don’t have coattails. They’re naked and lying in the gutter. Where they belong.

    I do look forward to hearing what they’re going to campaign on. More tax cuts for the rich? Deregulation of the financial markets? Another “Contract with America” perhaps? LOL, there’s no more tricks in the bag.

    It’s one thing that the fickle, generally stupid American is impatient that the dems haven’t created economic Fantasyland in 6 months. It’s quite another to think that means they want to let the architects of this mess back in charge. A few reminders come campaign time and they’ll end up staying home.

    The Left’s condescending arrogance and disdain for what is and always has been good and decent and extraordinarily productive about Americans is exactly why Obama will ultimately fail. You think that labeling Americans “generally stupid” is the key to getting Obama-care or “Cap ‘n’ Tax” passed into law?

    I don’t think so. Your boy emperor has no clothes.

    The vast majority are ignorant, selfish cretins. Then there’s the normal people-the 25% or so who self-describe as liberals.

    Clinton left office with about 60% approval.

    Did you mess with my profile yet you power-abusive nazi?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/ likwidshoe

    Clinton déjà vu.

    It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.

    At least with Clinton, he was smart enough to word most of his words in such a way that parsing his statements was required. Obama doesn’t have that skill. Obama is not much of an eloquent orator in the art of language, but rather instead – Obama’s mouth is a blunt instrument.

  • robert108

    …ignorant, selfish cretins…

    In other words, little dinostem and the rest of the “gay community”.

    It depends what your definition if “is” is.

  • Hannitized

    Hopefully those who claims they want less government in our personal lives and in our home will get the idea that it is stupid for our police to be arresting us in our own homes for being as disrespectful as police are to us (or worse) all the time.

    This rogue cop should have just left well enough alone. He was stupid…and the charge was dropped, and rightly so.

    Obama bring attention to a matter that is probably ready for review. We don’t need more government in our homes, telling us what we can and can not say without fear of being arrested.

    These police acted stupidly.

    Is that what you’re telling me?

    Try imagining that I’m from another planet and you’re telling this to the ambassador of a powerful and vital empire and it is to represent the quality of Earth’s judgment.

    Never put someone in the White House you’d be ashamed to introduce to an entirely different people altogether. This guy is that. Bush 2 Squared. If we thought B’s gaffes were something, we have seen nothing yet.
