Obama makes fun of Special Olympics

[Dorfsmith]

Didn't see this posted here. How is Obama...the darling of the PC crowd going to explain this?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Economy/story?id=7119504&page=1

"President Barack Obama went cross-country to deliver his economic message -- but his attempt at a joke about the Special Olympics during the first appearance by a sitting president on "The Tonight Show" could open up controversy on a whole new front."

Reminds me of the kind of major flub GW would have made.

This shouldn't even be a news story. Who cares? As a poster said above, who's NOT made fun of it at some point in their life. It's not like we all hate retarded people or something. This topic is petty.

You are right but I brought it up because I have been told by the pc types that even thinking those kinds of things make you an evil person. Are they going to really let Obama off the hook because he's their man? Are we going to see some hypocrisy coming through or will he suddenly be an evil person with a hateful mind? See, this is personal because I have had pc people tear me apart for making jokes very simular to the one Obama told tonight.

You have a point but I wouldn't lower myself to their level.

I just wanted to post it first. It's going to be all over the news and talkshows tomorrow.

- Yes, it will be.......instead of them focusing on issues that matter, unfortunately.

Anyone know where to find the whole appearance online?

Please don't make fun of little people.

[EDIT] What should my 1000th post be?

The real news story will be how the media reacts to it. Georgie Bushie would not get away with it so easily. Let us see how the Messiah is criticized.

I doubt any fuss will be made over it. But if he was good ol' dubya...

In the left hand we have a joke and a few mil going to AIG bonuses

In the right hand we have Goldman Sachs, other US banks, and foreign banks accepting trillions of laundered counterfeit dollars from AIG's credit default swap agreements.

If you watch Fox news its pretty ridiculous. All they talked and blabbered on about last night was this and how Obama shouldn't even be bowling or going on talk shows he should be working on the economy! I mean come on, does faux news really expect him to be working on the economy 24 hours a day seven days a week, they should know better than anyone even a president needs a break every now and then...

 

[MsDoodahs]

Anyone see anything about this today?

Is Obama being skewered as Bush would have been or is *the one* above such criticism?

If he and his worthless appointees and paid-off members of congress (Dodd, Frank, etc.) were doing a better job of it so far, people would probably not mind him taking a few hours off to relax.

He shouldn't be managing the economy at all though. Its not his job.
