Obama cracks Special Olympics joke

[Big Time]

I honestly don't care that he made a joke...we've all said 10x worse. My issue is that he seems to hold everyone else to these high standards, so why shouldn't he hold himself to those standards? A whole portion of his campaign was how he was going to hold people accountable for their actions. Well, hold yourself to those standards. He set the bar too high when he was campaigning....so either live up to that bar or get out of office, it's that easy.

If it would of been anyone else there would have been an out cry to make a public apology

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????

BINGO.. I could care less about the stupid remark. My issue is the main stream media will once again give him a free pass like they have the past 3 years.

Now the Late Show bit.. I think it demeans the office and position. Your the strongest most powerful man in the world and you go on the late show? WTF?? the President is supposed to show strength, power and dignity. Sure he can have fun, but do it off camera. Whats next showing up on the Rachel Ray show to cook corn dogs??


:rant:

this I completely agree with. the campaign is over. The office is all about dignity and respect. it also demonstrates favoritism of Leno and the network.

had he done a legitimate news show such as 60 minutes, I would find it a bit more palatable, instead he choose to put himself at a level reserved for stupid human tricks, dancing bears and a guy who built a hoovercraft out of a shop vac. next thing you know he will be jumping on Opra's couch and selling Obama presidential commemerative lapel pins on a 3 am infomercial, order within the next 15 minutes and I will include an american flag, with my face superimposed on it and it will be stamped with my official presidential signature!! but wait..theres more!!! our 5,000th customer will be flown all expenses paid on airforce one to washington dc, where you will then be driven by motorcade to the whitehouse, for a game of 1 on 1 basketball with me, the president, then dinner at the whitehouse, and a nightcap in the oval office before you head to bed in the Lincoln bedroom. You will also recieve three 8x10 autographed pictures of your trip. CALL NOW!!!!

Think that maybe he's flying around giving speeches, TV addresses, and late night TV shows because he's deathly afraid to go to White House and actually deal with the mess?
Maybe I'd do the same thing if I was in his shoes.

I do hope I'm wrong though

so if china and the middle east stopped buying us debt, we would be bankrupt instantly, , looking at it that way as the us is in bad financial shape and must be bailed out by taxpayers do to there inability to be fscally responsible....

how loud would people be screaming if the CEO of AIG, took 2 company jets, loaded them up with security, support staff, his car etc and flew across country to tell jokes on late night tv, all paid for by AIG using bailout money...

people would be screaming in the streets demanding a lynching.

Thats exactly what Obama just did.

Or if we nationalized our debt, they'd be bankrupt instantly along with us.

Obama wastes money, all politicians do. They believe the rules apply to everyone else but them.
