Cold beer, calm words on race at the White House

Obama:

"I have always believed that what brings us together is stronger than what pulls us apart," the nation's first black president said after the highly anticipated meeting ended. "I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode."


Crowley:

"We agreed to move forward," Crowley said later when asked if anything was solved. "I think what you had today was two gentlemen agreeing to disagree on a particular issue. I don't think that we spent too much time dwelling on the past. We spent a lot of time discussing the future."

Gates:

Gates said after Thursday's White House gathering that he hoped the entire experience would prove to be an "occasion for education, not recrimination." He said the burden now rests with him and Crowley to use the opportunity to foster wider awareness of the dangers facing police officers and the fears that some blacks have about racial profiling.

1. Crowley is not an honest cop.

He was caught lying in the report. That is all we all need to know about him.

[armyowalgreens]

2. Why does Crowley look pissed off in all the photos?

Cheer up man. You are drinking a beer with the fucking President of the United States of America.

[sharp_stick]

5. He's a cop

they're bred and trained to look pissed off at all times. I think they get fired if they smile.

[csziggy]

7. He's probably worried since he is almost certainly the stupidest person at that table

If I were him, I'd be scared s***less that I would say something totally asinine, especially considering his history.

I wonder if that is why he got to be the first one to come out with a public statement - that way the other men could adjust their statements to defuse any gaffe he might have made.

I was actually fairly impressed with his statement. I think he is trying to make the best of the situation since he does not want to be forever known as the cop who blew a chance to work things out with the President's help.

10. He's cracking the President up, though

I'd love to know what he said that made Obama laugh like that.

[peekaloo]

25. "Well technically Sir you don't own the White House so I could arrest you"

not really, I made that up. :dunce:

[blogslut]

12. He's outside in the sun and is doing that squinty eye thing

That is all.

[armyowalgreens]

14. You can still squint and smile or laugh.

He isn't even cracking a smirk even when everyone else is.

[blogslut]

16. Whatever

I don't own a nit comb.

[sharp_stick]

3. Nice that they did that

but the stuff they were drinking can barely be called beer. It's a semblance of fermented barley but really it's not beer. If one of them had the ordered up a good beer that would have been fun. ;-)

Personally I would have asked for a Trois Pistoles, a few of those each and they would have been singing together and walking down Pennsylvania Ave. holding each other up while explaining to everyone why the guys they're with are the greatest people around.

on edit: better link

Or they could have gone for the other one I like. Maudite is bad because it's 9% but doesn't taste like 9%, it can sneak up on you in a hurry and you pay for that the next morning when your kids jump on the bed.

11. I love you guys who get wrapped up in the correct beer debate

I sincerely find it very sweet and very male.

[sharp_stick]

23. You lose your guy card

if you don't immediately inform everyone of the CORRECT beer to be drinking in any situation. It's a tough thing to keep up with and the benefits of membership suck but we all do it.

;-)

4. Is that Biden?

And I thought Crowley was bringing a lawyer and a police union official with him.

:headbang:

6. The Secret Service should have asked for his ID. Then arrest him.

19. Where is Bo?

No, don't put the poor pup in front of a hoard of reporters and photographers... just take a pix of him at his own quiet place..

[mogster]

21. Haha!

That's so cool! :D

[daedalus_dude]

26. That looks like iced tea next to the cop

[Stephanie]

28. That's a Blue Moon - wheat beer, best served with a lemon slice

[Octafish]

27. Brilliant move by President Obama

The guy's getting 2012 in the bag.



Plus, he's going to need the nation's police on his side
in order to apprehend all the crooks he needs to arrest.
