#1 Yet another hat tip to Sergeant Crowley. Thank God for the men and women like him who protect us from evil. Hopefully Barry learned something from this most forgiving and Christian act of simple kindness. I remain doubtful however.

#3 I always knew Bambi was an arrogant ass, but damn. Stuck it to his own while the accused helps the man that accused him.

Class Act Crowley. Dumb ass Obama.

#4 "narcissism isn't pretty"

Especially when there is an example of instinctive selflessness nearby.

#5 I have to say, if it were me I would not have had a beer with Obama and Gates. I would have politely declined, and I suppose the press would have hammered me for that.

But Sgt. Crowley did go, and (by instinct) reached out to help an older, unsteady man negotiate the steps. He's a better man than I am.

#6 I wouldn't have went and I wouldn't have been polite either. Then I would have used the media attention to make a couple of points.

#7 Over at HA, the winning caption by acclaimation was,

"A cop, skip, and a chump from the White House."

#8 Every aspect of Bambi's body language speaks of his overwhelming arrogance.

#9 You guys are looking at it all wrong. It proves Crowley is a racist. I mean, he thinks a crippled guy can't make it down the steps without assistance 'cause he's black!

#10 So the guy's a self centered ass. Not like we didn't know...

#11 There's nothing wrong with Obama here!

On the other hand, in the picture at the bottom of the linked page, ~~Chimpy~~ Bush is seen palling around with a former KKK cyclops.

That's the real scandal!
