Ahh, here’s a nice controversy to take our attention away from the economy and healthcare….
Barack Obama’s comments about the Henry Louis Gates controversy might be blowing up in his face. “I was a little surprised and disappointed that the president, who didn’t have all of the facts by his own admission, then weighed in on the events of that night and made a comment that really offended not just officers in the Cambridge Police Department but officers around the country,” said Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley who was the arresting officer. Meanwhile President Obama stuck by his comments saying, “I think it was a pretty straightforward commentary that you probably don’t need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who’s in his own home.”
Enter Bill Cosby who says in this new interview that Barack may have acted too hastily.

Cosby needs a hobby, maybe someone else to pay for sex or something. Shut up old pudding pop. He is so self righteous. Amazing
I think he spoke rashly,but god knows GW Bush made speaking rashly into an art form–for 8 years, no less. Obama’s only human,and I can appreciate him trying to weigh in on an important issue–one that deserves the national spotlight for once. Racial inequalities need to be brought into the dialogue, people just ned to tread LIGHTLY–some people are lying in wait for him to slip…
By rashly I mean using the word “stupid”–there are some protocols in place that police are required to follow any time they respond to a call. At the same time if he were henry smith people wouldn’t have given a shit about this.

Can someone just stick a fork in Bill Cosby, because he is so done. His thoughts are submissive and out of touch with Black America. I think we are all over crazy Uncle Bill’s social commentary. If we just ignore him and he will go away.
On a positive note…my kids love his show on Noggin (Little Bill). So just focus on cartoons, commericials and reruns of the Cosby show Bill!!!
lil bill rocks!
not big bill
funny how once someone criticizes OBAMA all you guys are up in arms… fukin hypocrites!
It’s never safe to assume when one does not have all of the facts.
However, I can see how Obama, as a minority race, could feel he understands exactly how shit went down even without them.
There are just way too many stupid cops out there acting stupidly, unfortunately for the few good ones, so I definitely have Obama’s back here.
And if you support Obama, I would hope you WOULD get up in arms if someone criticizes him, even if it is at the expense of being a hypocrite, etc. It’s called loyalty.
bill sometimes speaks the truth and it aint about obama saying it like he did im tired of us as blacks saying we have to pussyfoot around issues like i always believed u need a malcolm and a martin a black panther party and the naacp we need both sides to overcome the social injustcies that we have against us we need to march and sing we shall overcome and go beat on the doors of oppression and tell we not going to take it
and im tired of all this people talking about its racist to think that every race likes there race more than the next unless they just on some other shit but that doesnt mean to treat anyone different because of there race
needed a period in between of that and every and i put the wrong their between race i just had to get it off my chest wasnt worried about my gram…..
AS A BLACK MAN…WITH NO ARREST RECORD AND FOLLOWING THE LAW…I GET THE BULL…T!!!! FRM STUPID ASS WHITE COPS ALL THE TIME…RACISIM IS SOOOOOO REAL PEOPLE!!! BLACK MEN KNOW IT ALL TOO WHILE. fyi-THE WHITE COPS AAAAALWAYS SAY “THE BLACK PERSON DID SOMETHING” what else would they say”i fucked up”….NOT!!!
Bill Cosby should be giving the date rape drug to women.
**Bill Cosby should be not giving the date rape drug to women.
Why are we listening to Bill’s reactions to our Prez? Who is Bill but just a comedian many many years ago? Why ask him to comment on Barack, when he should comment on the racism that held his show back when it got real successful. Racism started The Simpsons, Married with Children & Roseanne to directly compete with his show. Comment on that!
Finally someone threw a stone back at white America. Do it again President Obama. Now what. We are not watching our mouths anymore. Bill you are so lame….
Imagine Having Him As Your Grandpa…It Would BE Shitty
