Obama cracks Special Olympics joke

No backlash, the media will make him look good somehow. I'd be willing to bet that they give the Special Olympics some taxpayer money to make them forget about the comment as well.:rolleyes::rolleyes::(

I wonder what it cost the American tax payer for him to appear on the Tonight Show. Probably as much as a AIG bonus
 
One of my co-workers, who is a big Obama supporter, is trying to tell me that Obama meant it as a compliment to the Special Olympics and not as making fun of them. He has drank a LOT of kool-aid appearantly.....

Yeah, that's why he called the president of S Olympics from AF 1 and apologized before the show even aired, yeah great compliment.

They should put down the Kool aide :seeya:
 
I'm no Obama fan, but I didn't think it was so bad.

IMHO, only people looking to bash him will make a stink out of it. I.E. Fox News
 
so if Bush had used airfarce 1 to fly to hollywood, went of the lateshow, cracked special olympics jokes and used his mathmatical skills to make a college basketball pool while the economy was in the sh!tter how many people would be freaking out????

I am really thinking he never had or currently has any interest in actually being president, it was just the job he thought would make his name as popular and marketable as possible. if you really think about it, he has a press secretary and speech writers to write everything he has to say, he has advisers to make all the decisions, he has a secratary of state to handle all the foriegn affairs, the house and senate to handle all the legislation, a team of chefs to cook for him, maid service to make his bed and pick up after him, a travel staff and his own 747 to get him around without thought... what exactly is it that he does besides tv appearances and play basketball??
 
WLS in Chicago was all over it this morning on the Don and Roma show and now on the Mancow show. They're doing their part to not let him get off scott free.
 
Who cares, it was a joke. Now everyone is the PC police:biggrinjester:

The libs have taught us that the only people you can make jokes about is middle class white guys, he broke the rule. Being the first PC/Affirmative Action President carries with it a few pitfalls apparently.

If anyone other than him had said it, it would be a bigger deal. Maybe this is a good thing. We can stop being politically correct for the next 4 years and get away with it.....:sifone:
