            Having the right to say it without legal consequences is different from having the right to say it without any consequences.

                Then Obama should refrain from insulting other minorities.

                Obama should invite the special Olympians over so that they can whup his ass.

                        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                          I'm sure a bunch of Trolls will attack me for this but I'm going to defend Obama or at least try to clarify what I think he meant.

                          If you watch the video he says the Special Olympics line after he get a bunch of applause from the audience and Leno himself over what is an un-impressive score. His meaning is clearly "This is Pity clapping your giving me" the same kind people give to the Special Olympics. If anything he is trying to say "Its OK to say what you really think about my bowling". It was certainly a blunt and poorly phrased way of saying it but I agree with his sentiment.

Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche

                            No.

                            ACK!
                            Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

                              people should judge him on whether he was generally headed in the right direction.


                              He's not headed in the right direction.

                              President Obama's ambitious plans to cut middle-class taxes, overhaul health care and expand access to college would require massive borrowing over the next decade, leaving the nation mired far deeper in debt than the White House previously estimated, congressional budget analysts said yesterday.

                                It's already clear what Obama meant; he meant that he bowls like a mentally handicapped person. That's technically not true (some mentally handicapped people bowl much better than he does), but it was a pretty harmless attempt at self-deprecating humor.
