"Do you know who I am?"
If you're White, Black, Native American or from an unclassified minority class, the White House has great news for you. If you are ever approached by a police officer who asks you for identification act like it's circa 1800 and you should be eligible for a free beer at the White House.
The Event:
1. Lack of colorful flowers in the middle of Summer in the Rose Garden takes away from the tranquility of the serene setting.
2. No pitcher of beer on the middle of the table.
3. No pitcher of beer on the middle of the table.
4. What the heck would these guys really ever be able to talk about over beer?
5. Your stimulus check is in the mail... No that's not it!
The Issue: Dr Henry Gates shot his mouth off to police calling them racists, got arrested by Sgt Crowley, and personal friend President Obama made a fool of himself on national television by taking the side of his friend Gates. Unknown to both Obama and Gates, Sgt Crowley teaches racial profiling classes to other officers, and is the same Sgt Crowley who years earlier gave Celtic basketball player Reggie Lewis mouth to mouth resuscitation trying to bring him back alive. Then a week later all the participants drink beer at the Rose Garden and the person who should get a public apology never gets one. Gates, you bumped into the wrong Whitey brotha!
1. What I have learned in this "Teachable Moment"
A. That you shut your mouth and listen to the officer because the, "Do you know who I am may only work on the West Coast, and because most people do not know who you are, nor care too know!"
B. That if you don't want neighbors calling police because they think your home is being broke into then move to the damn country on 10+ acres of land.
C. That drinkingwithobama.com was available for $9.95 per year.
D. That drinkingwithobama.com was available for $9.95 per year.
E. That drawing conclusions on issues you know nothing about prior to researching the issue makes you look foolish & stupid in the eyes of "The People."
F. That answers to simple questions are made confusing as a way to make you feel like you're not educated enough for the answer. The Press Secretary Robert Gibbs when asked questions from the Press:
Q. Is there something that he (Obama) wants to say or communicate either through the pictures or words to the American public with this event? Or is it mostly just three guys having a beer?
A. MR. GIBBS: Well, I mean, look, I think the picture alone will communicate that despite the incident, despite what happened, despite what was said after that, we can still sit down and discuss issues that are important like this; that we can, I think as the President has said many times, disagree without being disagreeable, and I think it will be a poignant moment. - UNQUOTE -

What a SPIN. What he is saying is that no one is ever wrong. "Yes Gates I understand you wanted to character assassinate me...that's cool...I think you're a dick...that's ok man...it was my fault I chose the wrong officer...please pass the bong...ok.

Funny/Absurd Quotes:
--Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: "But there's no formal agenda other than cold beer."
--Q. But he did go so far as to say that the police behaved "stupidly."
A. MR. GIBBS: Well, again, I think -- again, as I just said, I think there's a point in this where it becomes clear that the situation as it was originally called in is not the current situation, right? At some point it becomes clear that the individual in the house owns the house. And I think that's -- at that point, cooler heads likely should have prevailed on both sides.

In closing for now...
I couldn't believe the domain was available. I'm loving this one! Give me time to decide what the heck to do with it. Perhaps President Obama would like to drive to my house in NC and pay me a $1.00 for the domain name. -- Of course after a few beers... However in NC it we be moonshine.
