Obama vs the Special Olympics

[-Jrabbit]

Special Olympics should be happy they got a shout-out on Leno.

I'm effing sick and tired of all the wide-eyed hysterics - from all sides - whenever soemone uses a politically-incorrect keyword with a microphone present, no matter the context.

Yesterday at L.A.'s town hall meeting, Obama said he was going to make mistakes from time to time, but that people should judge him on whether he was generally headed in the right direction.

A few hours later, he puts his foot in his mouth. But if a slip up like this is the biggest thing his opponents can jump on, he's doin' okay.

[The Mad Monk]

Is that a challenge?

Aren't Special Olympics for retards, not cripples? Bowling is not chess, no wonder a ****** can play better than Obama.

[Zkribbler]

they're for persons with all kinds of disablities.

It isn't the slipup IMO but the fact it took him hours to apologize.

I'm tired of all the "hysterics over PC words" also. When Imus said his "nappy" thing I thought the girls team should've responded with a resounding "whatever". Instead you have people saying they've been emotionally traumatized. Well if that's gonna traumatize them good luck at getting ahead in this world.

A bunch of Special Olympics bowlers is a perfect photo op for a "FAIL" picture

And really. This is ridiculous. Who gives a ****? Obama shouldn't have to apologize for making a joke. This country is ****ed up if you have to be too afraid to offend someone to make a simple joke - especially when you are JOKING ABOUT YOURSELF!

What people found offensive was the suggestion that people in the Special Olympics are somehow "less able" than the rest of us, when clearly they are exactly equal to us in all their abilities because we are all the same...we're all the same...we're all the same...lalalalalalala...

So we can call Obama the first ****** president?

Just sayin'.

According to the rules, that would be okay as long as a black-african-american-person-of-color said it.

[DaShi]

Bye Ben.

But I thought we hated political correctness.

I don't make the rules, I just notice them from time to time.
