Their is NO case, as the police dept was NOT going to waste tax dollars on this case, its what happens in many arrest issues…this does not mean that Gates was stupid himself….Gates should have been thankful that the police tried to protect his home, its funny…not even his neighbor knew who was trying to enter the home, so what do you people expect, damn if the cops do, and damn if they don’t…I am certain gates did the typical Black thing. throw race out within minutes…get over being Black and using this card folks…….

The charges were dropped against Gates. I think you are wondering about the claim made against the officer by Gates. They will probably drink Bud light.

I think it is in particular bad taste for Obama to invite these men to have a beer at the White House. There is no case against Gates, however, he has proven what he is to this nation, no doubt. The officer was not wrong to arrest that stupid acting old goof. He should have spent a couple of nights in jail if you ask me. Low class, tacky old dude. I bet Harvard is rethinking why they hired that man.

I don’t think any of them should meet for beer at the White House. I think this particular issue is over.

You see this is Obama, attempt to be middle class he is always saying let have a beer together. He has said this numerous times and i don’t believe he has ever drank a beer. wine or some fruity cocktail maybe but a beer i doubt it. Now Michell, might have a shot of gin with ya i hear she likes to toss back a drink or 12 at any time.

It’s not presidential because Obama is not. He acts like a school-yard bully.

If I were Crowley I wouldn’t go. He’s being used to help The Obama’s image. The man is only concerned about himself.

He was asked a candid question and did not have his teleprompter to aid in his answer and his true colors came out. Like it or not, we have a racist president.

No and do you have so little respect for the officer that you think he could be bought off for a beer? As for what brand of beer he’ll get, it will be whatever he wants. Inviting Gates and the officer to the White House could do a lot to defuse the situation as it could be come a teachable moment about how to settle differences outside of the court room. So I have no problem with the offer being ‘presidential’ or not.

You must have had a problem comprehending the story. During his phone call with Obama, the officer suggested to Obama that all three of them meet at the White House for a beer. Obama relayed the offer. Gates accepted by email
