RWers thought they had another Joe the Plumber
they thought it was Crowley vs. Obama. They thought Crowley would be carrying their birther teabagger flag. They thought he would lead the fight to put certain uppity folks back in their place.

But now Obama's joking with Crowley about the press, and Crowley's going to the White House to hang out with Obama and his black professor buddy.

Will they turn on Crowley? :scared:

1. If you are brave enough to wade through the comically hateful responses
on DU you will find that some were referring to Crowley as the next Joe the Plumber as well.


The DU knee-jerk crowd loves to go overboard with their accusations and drama.

3. Here's a little about that on the cnn page..
<snip>>>

"Obama also spoke briefly with the arrested professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., who is a friend of the president, the White House reported. He and Gates had a "positive discussion" about his call to Crowley on Friday afternoon, the White House said. Obama also invited Gates "to join him with Sgt. Crowley at the White House in the near future."

4. He squeezed the lemons...
So someone had to bring the sugar... and water. Obama is smart as hell, he's human and all that, but he's smart as hell.

I bet he doesn't get himself into this kind of pickle again.

He handled it all very well in the end, no question. Now, if either has ideas about a lawsuit, they will probably think twice.
