White House Happy Hour

So President Obama had a few beers with Professor Gates, and Sgt. Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department. I'll be honest with you I don't know how to feel about this and if it is improving race relations, or his approval ratings, or just plain back peddling on how the police acted stupidly. I've heard one Philadelphia morning show DJ even say it was "G" that the Leader of the Free World was sitting down to have a beer on the White House lawn with them. It's crazy, even the press went as so far to tell us what beers each of them liked and was drinking. Our soldiers are still dying, unemployment is through the roof, our economy is pretty much f***ed right now, and well this isn't going to end any racial profiling or racism.

But....it is an odd funny story and that's why it's on The Serg Show Blog! Let me know how you feel and leave a comment.

Cambridge Police Officer Responds to President Obama's Criticism

President Obama speaks about the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., race relations regarding blacks and Hispanics, and how the Cambridge Police department acted stupidly in arresting Professor Gates. Below you can see President Obama's remarks and then see Cambridge Police Officer Sgt. James Crowley's response to the incident.

All I can say is, if it were a white man I don't believe he would have even been questioned and if he was to be questioned and if he was in any way showing anger towards the officer he would have never been arrested.

We are making progress in this country aren't we? I mean we do have an African-American President right?....
I guess some habits just die hard.
