Call it the Beer Summit 2.0. Could it be that Obama is capable of creating a lasting peace with a couple of beers? I am not too surprised by this; remember that photo of Crowley helping Gates down the stairs as Obama marched on towards the cameras?
Maybe, Obama plans to use a beer summit to get Al Queda and the Taliban to chill out in Afghanistan?
From WBZ TV:
Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates and Cambridge police Sergeant James Crowley were spotted at a pub in Cambridge Wednesday night.
The owner of "River Gods" told WBZ the two sat in a booth together and talked for about an hour.
Over the summer, Crowley arrested Gates for disorderly conduct while responding to reports of a possible break-in at Gates' home. Gates accused the officer of racial profiling.
The incident led to a nation-wide debate over racial profiling and race relations, when President Barack Obama commented on the situation - coming to Gates' defense. All three men later sat at a table outside the White House in what became known as the 'beer summit.'
