So, what was the point of the beer party? I understand they talked but why even go that far if two people cannot be honest enough to know that they made mistake and owe the police officer an apology.

Both Gates and Obama were in the wrong here and no apology.

So we tax payers paid for this beer party just so Obama could make himself look like he was being mr nice guy and still did not apologize for his mistake.

Amazing how Obama thinks we can be fooled so easily.

Sure it might have been productive to talk but the WH has more important things to do in a day to have a photo op and get zero results.

And why the heck was Joe Biden there anyway? Another prop?

Obama has caused this country to step back many years by allowing this type of behavior to continue.

The professor and Obama were in the wrong, the cop was doing his job.

Obama or Gates should have apologized for their mistakes.

It would have made the entire thing go away quickly but Obama chose to not apologize because it would make him look like he did something wrong.

Which he did.
I don't agree with you.... but I think you expected that.

Gates overreacted.... I think Crowley handled it poorly (not just doing his job), and yes, I wish Obama wouldn't have made the comment but frankly, I don't think it was wrong that Crowley acted stupidly.

Ok... that's in the past, they met, they talked, and hopefully everyone can move on.

As I said.... I think you and some others hope that this will continue to escalate. Not sure if it won't, but I think a step in the right direction has been taken and things will setlle down on all sides in the future.
