Obama's "Special Olympics" Moment

[1hoser]

President Obama had a foot-in-mouth moment last night on The Tonight Show when he said of his bowling performance "That was like the Special Olympics or something."  He must have realized as soon as it came out that, funny or not, it was a stupid thing for a US President to say, and he called the chairman of the Special Olympics later from Air

As a cheep hook nosed dirty jew, I feel that I have some authority to speak on this. Look, Bush's mom said that people living in the Whatever dome had it better then in their houses during katrina and she didn't apologize!! This was a joke.. If everything he says is held up to this standard then he won't really be able to say anything.. and that's not good.

People are not that sensitive. They really aren't. I'll never forget when Gary Larson depicted a far side cartoon about Jane Goodwal, the monkey chick; and he received a letter from her foundation saying bla bla offensive, bla bla inapproprite (sp) bla bla. Turns out Jane love it, and had it with her during her travels. She ended up ordering a really big one in color that was framed so she could put it in her office, and had no idea about this letter from her foundation.

People get more offended for others the people who should be offended. George Bush says you're either with us or against us, and that's fine, Obama makes a joke about how retarted retards are, and how they suck at bowling cause they are retarded and he has to say I'm sorry. I mean.. can't a brotha get a break!??!

Hmm, that's a good point. People do a lot of getting offended on other peoples' behalf. It's pretty idiotic.

Great, now someone is going to get offended because I said something about idiots...
