i agree. I don't believe it was that he thinks anything bad of disabled people. it was just a gaffe a very stupid one to make though.


People are so damn PC that i will be suprised if it is not all over the news for the next week.

i volunteerd for the Special Olympics (well when i was healthy heh). some of the parents are insane.

Lipstick on a pig! He's a cellllleeeeebrity! He needs a teleprompter to talk! Special Olympics!

I actually considered starting a thread to keep updated just to list the ongoing idiocy that we can predict of these attacks.

Do you see nothing wrong with the sitting president of the United States making fun on the special olympics?

Bush said some stupid crap in his day, I am the decider...nookular..et al... but this is way beyond that.

but he is the Messiah. All is forgiven.

This is why standing Presidents should not do the talk show circuit. Way to go Obango.

thats the only thing that gets me. if bush had said it everybody would be calling for bush's head. but with obama most (a few are idiots and won't care it was a stupid mistake) will forgive it.

it really amazes me.

Perhaps, but it damned certain does not come anywhere near the "bring it on!" blunder/taunt.

"George W. Bush, you have asked us to 'bring it on.' And so help me, [we will ] like you never expected. Do you have another challenge?" The video then shows explosions around a U.S. military vehicle.

I contend that, giving the enemy propaganda opportunities like that one, is way beyond saying you bowl like a retard.

So, would you guys rather have a beer with a guy who will make fun of special people? Or one who won't?

If you are at the bowling alley and see an inexperienced adult bowler throw a gutter ball, is it now politically incorrect to say, "what a retard!".

Free? You and I are the ones buying brudda.

Definitely a stupid mistake that should never have come out of his mouth as the President.

If you're the president, yes.

I know. I am really surprised some people cannot just admit it was a very stupid thing to say.

This should keep Faux News frothing for a cycle or two.

Precisely. And any complaint about Obama's remark (which I agree is nothing to get bent out of shape over) is certainly more substantive than the endless parade of people who made fun of Bush's "nuk-u-ler" pronunciation.

The bottom line is this:

If you're Republican, just let it go. You don't get to bitch and moan about how everyone's too sensitive and then get angry over something like this. If the PC stuff really annoys you, then don't make a case of this just because you think it might be expedient; if you do, you're a hypocrite.

If you're a Democrat, take a long, hard look at yourself and ask honestly if you would have been upset about this if Bush had done it. If the answer is truly "no", then I applaud your even-handedness. If the answer is "yes", meditate on why the double-standard is OK.

When you are the worst president in recent memory then every stupid thing you do merely exacerbates your reputation as a dumbass. When you are seen as a bright, intellectual, optimistic figure who enjoys a high percentage of the people's good will, then they are more forgiving of your gaffes. Why does this surprise you exactly?

Sure it was a dumb thing to say, but for Obama we consider that the anomaly, not par for the course.

I knew it was a stupid thing to say as soon as I heard it come out of his mouth last night. I did a quick Google search and sure enough the conservative bloggers were already over it. It was a pretty un-PC thing to say, but I'd say the overall interview went VERY well.

It's a one-day story at best. That being said, nothing tops this

It's not a problem, he's still the man doling out the cash. He could call them a bunch of ****** and they'd still have no choice but to vote for the hand that feeds them.

so in other words no matter who the president is they do stupid things at times? who would have thought it.

On the bright side, if they give chase he'll probably be able to outrun most of them.

 

[spidey07]

I can't stand Obama, but this is a complete non-issue. People are going to make verbal gaffs, it happens.
