Published: July 31, 2009 - 3:57 PM After the beer summit, President Obama, Sergeant Crowley, and Professor Gates all walked out of the White House together. Well sort of together. A picture says a thousand words, doesn't it:

The way powerful people treat those who have less power than they do said volumes about them.

In this case, this picture tells us that the president simply can't be bothered to help his infirm friend down the stairs and instead leaves that task to the very police officer he belittled in front of the entire nation.

This question is just begging to be asked: who's acting stupidly now?

Yea seriously and I'm not bitching , I'm lovin the fact obama has no self control and feels the need to involve himself in such mundane things don't concern this country.

All he cares about is being president.

Didn't Drudge and Hannity make some people look like absolute fools with a picture involving Obama, Sarkozy and a young lady?

I said destroying not destroyed.
If you look at how the depression was stretched into a couple of decades by the policys roosevelt developed its easy too see how repetion will get a similar result.
As historys lessons are lost it is repeated by scamming a new generation who hasn't seen the negative results.
I do believe in stimilus to fight wars and ease recessions, but increasing government size and involvement in business only causes new entitlement programs that in the future weaken an economy to collapse.
I am a big fan of infrastructure spending during recessions especially big ticket items like dams and roads.

Where did you get that economic theory from a box of cracker jacks.

Yes he is destroying something, all the crap the republicans put into the system that has damaged it so badly.
Change means the status quo is destroyed which is how we fix all the problems that deregulation created.

[Mr. Blue]

Interesting picture, however, when I look at it, I see the policeman helping the professor down the steps. Both acting more like friends and respecting each other than the nonsense that went on between them earlier. Too bad we can't be more like that from the start and less like the other type thing.

There yea go...>>> the point I have been making.. The cop was in that "power position" that night........ Not Obama.....

A picture is worth a thousand words but. We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it--and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit on a hot stove lid again--and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

I wish the republicans had created all this mess, it would make it much easier to fix as there would be one source.
But keep the faith.
Just dont look to history or you might find how this has been tried before with disasterous results.

[Binky]

Just goes to show ya the policeman is a class act.....:D

Im not saying the repubilicans created the whole mess just most of it.

First off they have been on power for most of the last 30 years.
Either the Congress or the presidency or both.

Secondly they are the ones that have been deregulating the economy for the last 30 years and its the deregulation that allowed the markets to play so loss with the economy and that's what drove it into the mess its in.

Thirdly spending trillions making war on a country that did not attack us can not be good for the economy especially with all the no bid contracts going to companies that are not even American companies anymore. It must have been nice to collect billions of tax payers dollars and not pay any taxes on them.

No I dont blame republicans for everything just most of it.

Its obvious obama can't keep it in pants SirMoby so what's your point ?
Didn't you see the video that shows that he's helping the woman behind him down the steps? Come on Frank. Take a look at it and you'll see that he wasn't checking out the girl's ass.

For the record the girl was from Brazil.

So true...actions or non actions, in this case, speak louder than words.:(

[mwillman]

I wonder if you realize how petty you guys are sounding.

What I see is the police officer being a gentlemen.
While I still think he was wrong in arresting the Professor
I think it has been resolved as well as can be expected.

Yep I agree I am more than ready to move on.........

They are over it we should be to............

There is plenty of other more important things we could be arguing about...

[Smurf-Herder]

The cop and Gates actually plan to discuss this further, implying they plan on working together in some way in the future.

Wouldn't it be funny if there was more to this whole thing than meets the eye.

I bet they are done.
They helped obama out of a mess and will probably not be going out together anymore.

I don't know about that.

Reenlisting Gates and Crowley
By Abraham Cooper
associate dean, Simon Wiesenthal Center

We at the Simon Wiesenthal Center have a unique take on the Sgt. Crowley-Professor Gates episode. We may be the only folks in America who knew them both before that fateful 911 call that cast them both in a national debate about racism and racial profiling that eventually led to the White House.

Back in 1992, our efforts to debunk Louis Farrakhan's "academic" screed accusing Jews of a central role in the African Slave Trade received a major boost from Harvard's Director of African American Studies, Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

That also was the year we began our TOOLS FOR TOLERANCE® training program, which over the years has involved more than 100,000 law enforcement officers, including Officer James Crowley of the Cambridge (Mass.) Police Department.

The officers who came to our training sessions kept telling us of their concern about and confusion over racial profiling, which led us in 2001 to create an interactive course called Perspectives on Profiling™.

Enter Sgt. Crowley, who in 2007 was sent by his department to the Museum of Tolerance to become a trainer on the issue of racial profiling. Crowley was an outstanding student, and he was invited back last year for an advanced course. "He stands out to me. He was one of those people who really engaged in sessions, who really showed a high level of understanding of the issue," said Sunny Lee, director of Tools for Tolerance® for Law Enforcement.

In his coursework, Crowley and hundreds of other officers were confronted with the complexities surrounding the debate on racial profiling, including:

1. The confusion surrounding three terms:

• Criminal Profiling
• Racial Profiling
• Racism

2. The myth that statistics prove that an individual member of a specific racial group is more likely to commit a given crime.

3. The danger of police officers abandoning their intuitive skills out of fear of being accused of bias and racial profiling.

4. The dangerous trend of police disengagement from potentially sensitive suspects to avoid accusations of racial profiling or selective engagement to satisfy quotas.

After the Slave Trade debate in 1992, Professor Gates gave the Wiesenthal Center's annual State of Anti-Semitism Lecture: "We must acknowledge our diversity even while we identify with each other...In short, place a priority in our shared humanity andAFt identify not as a nigger...nor kike but as man, permitted to be man," he said.

Visitors to our New York Tolerance Center will find this quote from Professor Gates embedded between quotes from Gandhi and Einstein: "There is no Tolerance without Respect; there's no Respect without Knowledge".
Events in Cambridge involving Gates and Crowley have shown us how far we still have to go on these issues. We believe these matters are too important to leave to politicians and too explosives to place in the hands of demagogues.

So we are inviting Prof. Gates and Sgt Crowley back to the Museum of Tolerance to help us create the next real "teaching moment" for our nation. Stay tuned.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper is associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Museum of Tolerance.
