Republican Offers Resolution Demanding Obama Apologize To Cambridge Police

[CatWoman]

At a time of economic distress, two wars, and a health care reform effort stalled by political friction, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, (R-Mich.) is set to introduce a bill calling on Barack Obama to formally apologize to the Cambridge Police.

The Michigan Republican announced on Friday that he would introduce the resolution unless Obama apologized to Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley for criticizing Crowley's handling of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s arrest last week.

The resolution is, as McCotter's Democratic critics note, a political ploy and a waste of congressional time. The congressman undoubtedly has a full plate of issues with which he could concern himself, including his home state's porous job market.

1. Here's my recommendation to the Republicans

[Uncle Joe]

15. Double up

[elana i am]

20. omg

where has this smilie been my entire life?!?! my new favorite smilie!

[Hawkeye-X]

21. We had this smilie on DU

before Skinner decided to remove it.. BAH humbug!@

[elana i am]

22. well phooey!

[lunatica]

23. You can borrow mine if you like

I have a mac so I can just drag it onto my desktop and load it up to my photobucket account. I think it's even easier with a PC but it requires right clicking I think.

2. Whenever I think I can't be any more disgusted with republicans, I am.

Is there no depth to which these jerks will not sink? They've been in a downward spiral for years and years.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. What does he think Obama's invitation to the WH for a keg party

is all about? :shrug:

[Autumn]

4. It will be interesting to see

if this gets anywhere. Then we will know how far down the hole we have fallen.

[fascisthunter]

5. Go "F" Yourself

[BklnDem75]

6. I'd love to see such a resolution...

so Obama could add a signing statement telling them to kiss his ass.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. ROFLOL!

[Lilyeye]

7. Fuck those bastards. They can't even spend time on getting this country out of a shit hole.

Yet they have all the time in the world to write a resolution about an apology. These idiots should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. Next up: Resolution demanding Obama apologize for looking frumpy in jeans.

His frumpiness weakens us in front of the French. Sarkozy is the shit in jeans.

[MichellesBFF]

29. I see Paris, I see France

I see the French First Lady's Underpants.

Ooh la la...

[question everything]

10. And I offer a resolution they apologize for McCain chuckling

when a woman in his audience asked him about "the bitch" when Palin said nothing when her audience shouted "kill him" and for John Campbell's bill to demand a birth certificate.

Then, maybe, we can even listen to them.

[CTyankee]

11. This is just a manifestation of how far they will go to keep the issue alive.

It appeals to the basest of the base. Of course, it is intolerable but you can see why they don't want to let it go. It's all they've got...

[kestrel91316]

12. I demand an apology from the Repukes for what they did to my country over most of the last

30 fucking years.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Is there anything more odious than a Republican? They stopped

being a legitimate political party when John McFossil chose Sarah Palin, and now exist solely to henpeck the President, deny us affordable healthcare, and weaken gun laws. Fucking fringe lunatics. I'd laugh, but I'm surrounded by them where I live.

[NavyMom]

14. Oh just "F" 'em all....these idiots are just

useless waste of space & time. Obama should call them all to the Rose Garden tell them to line up then "ALL Y'ALL CAN KISS MY POTUS AZZ, you punk ass bitches"

[blue_onyx]

16. That's my representative...

wasting more time on BS like this rather that fixing what he helped Bush destroy. I really hope a good Democratic candidate steps up to defeat him in 2010.

[beltanefauve]

24. If that's your Rep

then CALL HIM!!! Tell all your friends to call him! You deserve better representation than this! remind him that he's a public servant. (I know,a concept that's lost on most of these politicians, but still...)

[and-justice-for-all]

17. Sure, when repukes apologize for all the shit Shrub Co did...nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. Fine

IF he offers up a separate resolution apologizing for the last 8 years of Bush/Cheney and endorsing a full investigation of Buscho. Also, I think that they should also apologize for the all of the time and money the Gingrich-led Congress ultimately wasted on their hypocritical and smarmy political vendetta against the Clintons.

[ellie]

19. So now that it has

come out Crowley lied, will they still insist on an apology? God, are repukes stupid!

[JI7]

25. he is probably part of the reason Michigan has one of the worst job situations

[TheKentuckian]

26. I offer a fart in his general direction.

[fortyfeetunder]

27. Apologize for a cop fabricating a story?

C'mon, y'all got to do better than that!
