Hopefully Michelle's not tellin' :biggrin:

BTW, it's all good. I think I've zeroed in on some rightwing hypocrisy and I'm just having some fun with it.  ;D

I'm sure that there are some gossip rags that would pay big money if she would!  :wink:
Looks like I've come full circle.

Sandy, I heard the clip where Obama made his remark about Kayne...and I thought it was funny...I liked Obama asking the press to "give the president a break"...I laughed with him on that one.
But this is NO comparison to the Crowley incident.....THERE, he was at a press conference and asked directly...AND he said, "without having the facts"...then made an outrageous comment, that he SHOULD have kept to himself, at least until he DID have the facts....

See what I mean.... 'keep your opinions to yourself'.   And yes I see the qualifier of until he did have the facts.  Doesn't change the perception that unless it's a government issue, it seems a lot of the general public do not want to hear the human side of a politician when it comes to opinions.

Give it a rest, bigot; you've already demonstrated a profound lack of understanding of law enforcement procedures on this subject.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I'm not going to let your punkass bother me today....all I'm saying is, the POTUS spoke without the facts....and he admitted it before he spoke.

Is saying someone is lying an opinion, or an accusation?   Did he have the facts to determine that Obama may have been lying?  He should have kept his opinion to himself until he had all the facts.   You can't stand up in front of, how many people? 300?  And tell a lie if they all know what's intended in the plan.

I'm not defending Wilson...I'm making a point....how about the POTUS saying Crowely "Acted Stupidly" in a press conference on National TV?  should he have kept his opinion to himself?...(without ANY facts?)

I'll say it once again......the general public expects higher standards of people in authority and forget that those people are actually only as human as the rest of the nation. This is a type of hypocrisy if you ask me.  EVERYONE has a moment of saying something that they regret saying later.  Imagine not being prepared to answer a specific question because it has absolutely nothing to do with the job you were hired to do and you find you do have an immediate opinion on what you do know so far.  Are you, Henry, going to say No Comment, or are you going to voice that opinion? Being, Henry, you most likely are going to voice it, and then you may qualify it by saying that you don't know all the facts, you may go even further and say you might change your mind on your opinion once you know more.  As a human being, sometimes we say things that we mean, or feel at the moment, but on reflection figure we probably shouldn't have said.   I'm sorry but being a politician, public figure, or celebrity doesn't automatically give us grace when we speak from emotion.

The real difference for rightwingdings?  IMO

Crowley - Obama's opinion was in favor of a black man.

West - Obama's opinion was in favor of a white girl.

I just want to know what Kanye's reaction to the president is going to be.  I mean he stated that Bush hates all black people.  I guess he won't be able to say that about Obama right?  :biggrin:
Take time to smell the roses.

That was before Kanye lost his mind :biggrin:
