Barry Obama, Professor Gates and that knucklehead cop had their little beer sit-down at the White House yesterday as promised. Oh, and Joe Biden crashed it, cause Joe Biden has nothing better to do (put on a hat Joe - your head is endangering low-flying aircraft).And we learned what from this learning moment? That pundits would rather discuss the brands of beer being consumed than the racial issues the whole affair was meant to highlight. That Barry Obama clearly sees himself as a populist/activist in the Teddy Roosevelt mode...except he doesn't have anything resembling Teddy's political cojones.
Dear Barry: If you're going to use the Bully Pulpit, you can't be afraid to bully people. But you won't even take on a Congress dominated by members of your own party. In your hands it's more like the Pansy Pulpit.
