Budweiser Notwithstanding, Might Joe “Six Pack” Photo Op Reinforce “Obama Latte”?

Well it fits the continuing narrative that began during the campaign. Either Obama is a Kenyan outsider or an ivory tower elitist – whatever mischaracterization works.
But frankly, the head of the Cambridge PD ought to shut up now since the administration just announced all that money going to cops. I recall when Clinton budgeted funds for PDs all over the country – the crime rate hit the bottom for the first time in years.

Amazing, how the money flows. Is it used to shut up the controversy?
Seems like there is plenty of money for police, money for wars, money for politicians and no money for schools.

the administration just announced more money for education. on top of whatever was laid out for schools in the stimulus package. re money for wars – they cut the funding for the f-22 jets. it’s not enough, but it’s a start.

luckily, obama early on identified with cops by stressing how the stimulus package was going to spare them from getting laid off. so critics can claim that obama hates cops but the administration has policy and photographic evidence that argues otherwise.
remember the imaging of obama standing with cops (while the stim pack was being debated) that was objected to?

As long as citizens will view the cut of 7 F-22 as a victory, and not realize that having already 187 F-22 is a good deal for military machine…there will not be any significant changes. Yes, the war machine is well oiled…the profits from wars go on and on.
