Tough Words For King Hussein
Kelly King, pictured above, is a police officer in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She had some pretty tough words for King Hussein regarding Skipgate. She was interviewed by CNN anchor Don Lemon. He asked her, "When you heard about what happened with this sergeant, what did you think?"
KING: I was appalled. I know Jimmy. I have known him for more than 11 years with the Cambridge police. I knew him when he worked for Harvard. I know him to be a good police officer, a good man with character, and I knew these charges were bogus. There has been a tremendous rush to judgment. And I think the thing to be learned first and foremost from this is to look at all of the evidence, to consider all, to weigh all. I think Professor Gates has done a very good job of filling up a very effective smoke screen calling race into this. It had nothing to do with it.
LEMON: Well, what about the president?
KING: It's unfortunate. I supported him; I voted for him; I will not again. I agree that I think it's admirable that he would speak on behalf of his friend, but he should have recused himself. He should have stepped back and he should have said, "I support my friend but I don't have all the facts. I won't weigh in yet."
LEMON: The governor?
KING: I would apply the same to him.
LEMON: What do you want the people around the country to know who may have already made up their minds about Sergeant Crowley?
KING: Keep their minds open and realize that we would not support someone that we felt wronged someone else. We took this job to do the right thing. We all took this job to do the right thing. We would not support anyone in blue doing the wrong thing.
There you have it. Officer Kelly King saying she won't vote for Obama again after his latest fiasco. Since this incident took place, many police officers and their unions nationwide have supported Crowley, and demanded an apology from the President, who has only thrown Skip under the bus without an apology to Crowley. To inject this topic during a press conference on healthcare is asinine. For someone Harvard educated, he does a lot of dumb things. This is why I never voted for him. I apologize for the voters of the state of Illinois for sending politicians like Obama, Durbin, and Kirk to DC and have such a negative impact on the country like this.
Perhaps now King Hussein will invite Officer King to the White House for a glass of wine to smooth things over. It's the least he could do, as well as get another photo op. (HT Rush Limbaugh):
