It's not a dialogue, Mr. President - it's your endless monologue.

I resent Bill Maher calling the entire country stupid - mostly because he's never seemed that smart to me. He's harsh and smug - in our current culture this is often mistaken for smart.

But I must admit that the Obama's "beer summit" and the attendant coverage of it is causing me absolute embarrassment as an American. Obama's response to the entire Gatesgate episode is embarrassing and pathetic. During the "beer summit" the most powerful man on earth and his pal - who was arrested for being an overbearing gasbag - used a hard working police officer as a prop. Crowley was put in an untenable position so Barry can save his half white ass. Pew now reports that Obama's knee jerk response to the arrest is doing real damage.

It is gross - and like few other events of late - indicate a kind of cultural idiocy, not emanating from the grass roots - but from the top. This is Jerry Springer Show filler brought into the Rose Garden by a thoughtless President who refused to simply say "I was wrong to condemn the police. I am sorry. I'll be more careful with my remarks regarding local issues in the future." That's it. This entire dog and pony show has been because Obama had a knee jerk response to something he knew nothing about and isn't man enough to say "I am sorry."

Obama wants to "foster" a dialogue - ABOUT WHAT?!!! How cops should handle arrogant, entitled, ivy league professors when they insult your mother? What is the "dialogue" that is to emerge from this episode? ALL the facts that have emerged so far indicate that Obama, and earlier Gates, WERE IN THE WRONG. Now reality has to be adjusted so some grievance king from Harvard and his POTUS pal can save face? Screw that.

And for "f**k sake - where is the woman who made the 9-1-1 call? You know the person who actually DID HER DUTY AS A CITIZEN. What is the lesson here? Behave like an idiot and the President will defend you and invite you to the White House - leveling the playing field by also inviting the cop who was berated in front of the planet for doing his job well - meanwhile if you are a concerned citizen reporting what looks for all the world like a break in - you get called a racist by the teaming masses of mindless, perpetual victims- and ignored by the "post -racial" President.

Gross. The whole thing is gross.
