maybe because they are not so admirable. By moving on, and just forgetting about it over a beer or two, we all avoid the truth. Namely, whether there was racial profiling, and who profiled who, and whether Obama really simply miscalibrated his words (Gibbs also admitted Obama had prepped for those questions) or whether Crowley deserves a real apology.

that's the ultimate spin.
first, there is no, that's NO, statement from obama that "blames the media", which if you recall is the accusation. in fact there is no statement from a white house spokesman either. the comment, relayed second hand, was in regard to how the controversy was distracting the coverage of the healthcare debate.
that's two completely different things.
so then you respond to obama's admission that he contributed to the escalation in an attempt to say that supports the false claim of his blaming the media.
too funny.
then you claim that his success in calming the particpants down, and having them meet and discuss the situation, is somehow resulting in "avoid[ing] the truth".
uh, just what do you believe these three will discuss when they sit down together? oh, maybe they'll not talk about what happened in cambridge (which of course is why they are meeting!!!) but "avoid" the issue and talk about the red sox vs the white sox....or maybe if harvard can beat yale this year....oh yeah, they'll just talk about the weather!
of course the meeting won't be covered either, so the discussion by the media of race and possible profiling won't happen.
yeah, right. without a doubt, it will.
admit it, the accusation is just bs. grasping at air.
