George Will on Obama: "This President Is Ubiquitous!"

[nutbagbrew102]

arrianna must give great blows - she breathes though her nose - nice - thats what shes good for -maybe

Let's keep our eye on the ball. Gates is a Professor at Harvard, has numerous accolades. (See Wikipedia). Does anyone see context here? Bottom line; He has apparently worked his way to the apex of higher learning & as such,should be an example to the next generation of Black men & women. Refused repeated requests to step outside until officer Crowley tried to walk away, then he followed him in an attempt to race bait. Bailed out by POTUS, shame on both of them. Hats off to off. Crowley

george will is a tool

[sfg3211]

Somebody tell Rosa to stop interrupting the men

[rired48]

I agree here with Mr Will.

[TheAlfredjohnson]

"We converse about race too much." So short, so accurate.

[VeggieTrunks]

What is the black woman's name? I can't seem to find out, been wanting to look her up.

[doveisle]

Did I hear what I heard? FDR as a moral leader? The president that illegally held thousand of Japanese, Italian, German Americans.

Interesting!!

[Loejyrrab]

@doveisle Wait a min dove! You've the balls to criticize FDR.The miserable Germans,who under Hitler caused the deaths of 90mil people worldwide&the Japanese who brutally started a war with us, had English speaking spys crawling all over the USA.The AXIS set out to destroy the Jewish people&they meant to destroy us. FDR released alive those who were held during the war.The Japs and Nazis?Only way out of Nazi prisons was in buckets of liquified bodies, Jap prisons, in boxes of starved bones.Fukem!

[doveisle]

@Loejyrrab Do you understand "rule of law"? A person can not be punished for a crime he did not commit.

[rubbersole79]

After watching this, it has become obvious to me that a womans place is in the home.

[brdajo365]

does abc usually set up a panel with 3 left-wingers and 1 right-winger? on a 4 person panel, shouldn't it be 2 and 2?

[Loejyrrab]

@brdajo365 Tell that to the Fox talkers.Hannity usually has it 4 to 0Cons vs.Lefties.On occaision he has a weak ass leftie who needs the job real so bad he acts like a rightie.Hell,Fox canned the Lib.Colmes.Recall Juan Williams, once a true lib,went to Fox and forgot hewas LIB.Same with Mort Kandracke, formerly a lib,but went right on Fox.Assuming you're a conservative,what the hell are you bitching about.RushLimb has been on radio 30 yrs spewing his Nazism.Only now, is there some competition.

[brdajo365]

@Loejyrrab who gives a shit about what fox does? Has nothing to do with what i asked--especially given hannity's show is an opinion show, moderated by an avowed right-winger. Also, how much hannity do you watch, such that you'd know what he "usually" does?

Assuming you're educated, it's hilarious you brought up nazism. Rush, being a conservative and on the right wing, would be foolish to "spew" or promote nazism or any other liberal orthodoxy on his show. It's likely, therefore, he hasn't.

[exbronco1980]

a modern american president is fairly ubiquitous. Presidents now are huge celebrities too.

[Baseball5030]

that's the worst argument i've ever heard. They aren't asking him because they expect moral advice from the president. would you take moral advice from the president? No, because everyone thinks they are moral. It was a reporter fishing for a story. Gates is black, Obama is black, they wanted to see his reaction. They wouldn't have asked Bush about this because his answer wouldn't be a suprise. If he was honest, he would've said "who give a fuck about it, i've got bigger shit to worry about".

[wiz9496]

George Will is like a superhero.

[chrisman737]

George Will is awesome, intelligent, and right on the mark.

[Loejyrrab]

@chrisman737 Ha ha ha! Intelligent? Will is an egghead who loves to pieces his own damn opinions. He uses $10 words to impress us but at the end of the day, how smart is the fool who voted for the dumbest ass president we ever suffered thru, DRUM ROLL PLEASE!-----------------------­-----------------Bang! G.W.Bush!

[kev3d]

FDR as a moral leader? JE-ZUZ Arianna....

[rucslider]

Donna Brazille is dumber than a mud fencepost...am I being too hard on mud fenceposts?

[cfamcny939]

Donna Brazille should be banned from the show.

[truthslap]

How did a comment supporting this violent, outrageous police officer, become the highest rated comment on the page? EARTH to America, you had OUGHT to have a right to express your disapproval of authority in this country, without expecting violent recourse or an arrest from a damn police officer! This is as obvious as anything.

[leftwingersareweak]

George Will is brilliant!

[chuckbaker]

@leftwingersareweak George Will is a knucklehead, always has been.

[ajwhite10]

It is very rare that George Will is not the smartest man in the room. Obama overreached by commenting on this particular incident & it bit him on the hand.

[Gerkinstock]

@ajwhite10... And it is equally rare that Paul Krugman is the smartest man in the room or that Arianna Huffington isn't the dumbest person in the room.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

yeah Huffington, Clinton was a moral leader! LOL what an idiot!

[Hkepfer]

A US President is First Citizen of Nation; Gov't Executive; bully pulpit speaker, defacto head of party & commander-n-chief and s/he can use the veto pen quite well if they ever chose to do so.

If we expect any more from a President we set him/her up to fail.

Fix Economy, fix the wars, protect us from our enemies and nominate good people, and that good people is enough for any one President.

[inachu]

I am searching for the video of george will and some black guy where they argued and the black man stated that Beethoven was really a black man and George Will called it revisionist history at its worst!

[ryanwfrederick]

Krugman is a puke.

[AM4RU2]

Race is still a issue this is all a good thing to in the end to put lay it all the table

[AM4RU2]

Manipulation to try an place blame on the president but its all to familiar

[SOLISDEUS]

The police officer did back off. Crowley left the residence walked away from Gates and his racist diatribe and was outside. That should have been the end of the story. However, Gates who initially refused to step outside upon Crowley's arrival at the residence, now followed Crowley outside yelling profane racist comments and trying to incite the crowd of citizens gathered on the sidewalk.  That is DISORDERLY CONDUCT. There is no defending his behavior or apparent racist bias.

[cocobear33]

yes of course you dumb bitch you believe everything obama do is right , jezz what a bunch of fucking ass kissing from a bunch of cowards who don't have the guts to say obama you messed up instaed they try to find anyway to say he was right , do you think if this was bush and the cop was black they would be saying the same thing

[mattsay78]

We should have a debate about race..

[1kkyu]

George Will was entirely correct. Americans talk entirely too much about race. And I believe that because of that, in incidents like this one, it is often assumed that people are mistreated as a result of racism. By focusing so much on race, many people have become unable to analyze real life situations solely on the basis of the facts.

[tubeturds]

They imply that the figurehead for our nation shoudln't put himself in the middle of one the most polarizing topics in our short history. Ignoring it has done wonders for us, right?

Sure people are talking, but do they talk to anyone that has a different view or opinion? On average, no.

Race becomes an issue before I ever open my mouth. I wear it, and people respond to it. That is a real life situation for me. Those are the facts for many people of color. Deny that, and you* ignore the facts.

[seajayf]

people do talk, but I don't think there is much listening. It is an uncomfortable subject for many but there is still serious inequalities that aren't being addressed-despite all the talk. The same with gender.

[luvs2teach00]

I disagree. Most people don't talk about race because people are afraid of being offended. People need to call it like it is and stop being afraid. People need to focus on things that people agree on. I think that if we move away from affirmative action and target hate groups more then race relations can and will improve.

[redspade04]

this is an excellent video. its the first reporter that admits the nation is in a trans for obama like he is Jesus or something. he cant do wrong and when he does they make up a reason for him... guess what ppl, he hasnt done anything right sense he was in sen seat.

[seajayf]

Fail-watch the video again and see if you can catch the real meaning.

[redspade04]

i dont need to watch it again. theirs an obama cult right now and if he said he wanted to kill someone, it would be ok cause after all, its racist to hate him and the things he is about. and dont say its not cause you can look up on any blog or comment thats anti obama and youll see that obamaites come to the rescue for him and say they are just made cause a black man got in... no, i voted for keys when he ran. so stfu.

[seajayf]

he "obama-cult" is largely a right-wing wet dream, as near as I can tell-I don't see it. And right wing talking points of this being a race issue is largely a red-herring, I think (although we are long overdue for an open and frank racial discussion in this country). I think an import point to be made here is that the police are out of control. I was personally glad to hear someone in a position of authority acknowledge that for a change.

[luvs2teach00]

Well the people who voted for him may still be in a trans, but I believe the honeymoon is over for Obama. Maybe people want a black figure who is post racial, a type of black guy that everyone would love to hang out with. I don't think Obama is Jesus because that is ridiculous. Conservatives will make him look more and more like the devil.
