Obama: One Big Awful Mistake America
Jake Tapper reports that Barack Obama pulled a Joe Biden (or a Barack Obama, for that matter) and ended up mocking the Special Olympics in a lame attempt to make fun of his weak bowling skills. But of course, the White House says he “in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics.” You be the judge:
The first appearance by a sitting president on “The Tonight Show” may well end up being the last.
President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he’s gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.
He bowled a 129, the president said.
“That’s very good, Mr. President,” Leno said sarcastically.
It’s “like the Special Olympics or something,” the president said.
When asked about the remark, the White House said the president did not intend to offend.
“The president made an off-hand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics,” White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton said.
Way to go, Soul Fixer.
I blame Obama’s Prompter… or lack thereof.
But this is all just a big distraction.
Let’s get back to the real business of America: NCAA picks!

Lorie Byrd and Kim Priestap puts this in the proper, calm perspective:
Look, considering all the other things he has done and said the past two months, this comment is probably the least of his troubles, but I just have to wonder what the reaction to this would have been if it was President George Bush who said it. It remains to be seen how much attention and what kind of reaction the comment will get.
Kim adds: I understand President Obama was trying to make a self-deprecating joke, so I don’t want to make a bigger deal out of this that what it is, but, man that was cringe inducing. At least it was for me since I, like millions of other parents, have a disabled child. I mean his joke is right up there with Joe Biden asking a wheelchair-bound man to stand up. Obama certainly didn’t do anything to quell the teleprompter jokes.
I, too, could make a joke and tell the president to skip the comedy routine and stick to his day job, but he sucks even more at that.

Two differing opinions from Hot Air:
Ed Morrissey calls it the stupidest thing Obama’s said today (after the AIG/suicide bomber analogy). Allahpundit says it’s politically incorrect, but lay off.
The Anchoress: It’s going to be a looooong four years.” On that, we can all agree.

Hah: Commenter Coastal Conservative asks, “Is this what Michelle Obama meant by America being a downright mean country?”

Obonkers is running around doing chat shows and personal appearances. Michelle is going to dig up part of the White House lawn to plant vegetables. Ah well! I guess that keeps them out of mischief while their masters pull the strings and prepare the teleprompter speeches for Obonkers to read.
If it weren’t so deadly serious, it would be funny, but this all reminds me in a very frightening way of the Stalinist “Cult of the personality.” Obama is the front man, the personality here, nothing more, the pretty boy put up to entertain the minions while the minions are supposed to lap up his every word and just roll over and take the shite he’s giving out. Well, thank God for the growing numbers of patriotic Americans who are not going to roll over for this evil son of Satan.
The usurper has brought the Presidency to an all time low. Leno? What’s next? Cooking something on Rachel Ray?
I saw that they are trying to pass legislation to prohibit citizens from farming and growing our own food, so WTF is the klingon doing making a garden? This is all going to end upas a very bloody mess.
Bowling? Special Olympics? Talk shows?? This shit is not funny at all.
Here’s what we know:
# We know the Obama regime counts on crises, to generate change, compliant to the Marxist method.
# We know that “the ends justify the means,” in the Marxist method, as they are instructed to resolutely ignore basic morality and ethic.
# We know that corrupt leaders stage events for effect (not uncommon for the outbreak of a war) and often kill their own citizens, often in huge numbers.
# We know that massive psychological operations would have to be performed upon Americans, in order to accept an authoritarian police state.
# We know that Obama’s political moves are already destroying the American economy.
# We know that Obama aggressively pushes the mass atrocity of abortion through all nine months and even infanticide, using our tax money to push this killing of the innocent around the world.
# We know that Obama’s policies are increasingly understood as Marxofascist and he is losing his hold on public opinion.
# We may see that their aggressive moves include violating the 2nd Amendment rights.
# We may see that they have experimented this week with deploying military personnel inside the nation (in Alabama) violating the Posse Comitatus act.
# We may see that there are many military bases which have been refitted to allow the interment of massive numbers of the civilian population.
# We may understand there is a growing, constitutionally provided, and necessary, free militia movement (of any number of races and creeds) in America.
# We may understand that there is a great deal of wariness about Obama by America’s law enforcement and military personnel, sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.
# We may understand that for the concern for the Constitution by our law enforcement and military personnel to be overcome, would require (if possible) their perception of a clear and present threat to American lives.
# We may see that law enforcement personnel (in Phoenix, Arizona and in Missouri, so far are being alerted to the “danger” of American Citizens who would defend the Constitution against national authoritarian abrogations.
# We may understand that Obama’s massive “Organizing for America” plan includes swearing allegiance not to America, nor to the Constitution, but to Barack Obama.
# We may recall that Obama has called for a “civilian national security force, just as powerful” as the United States military.
# We may understand that irrational and even harmful acts are more acceptable to people who are in a panic.
# We may understand that people in a panic may become more manipulated.
# We may understand that Marxism and fascism require brutal authoritarianism, in order to survive.
# We may understand that America and Americans are human beings, just as the people of so many other nations which have succumbed to Marxofascist authoritarianism.
# We may see that those whose chief motive is to impose Marxofascism are desperate from the beginning.
Some kind of terrible “tragedy” is about to happen, and you are complicit in it DumbassVega.
I see something is comming down the pipeline. I dont trust this axxhole as far as I could throw him. He has no clue as to what he is doing and he brought along his marxist comrads to see this thru. However there are people out there who know what this slime ball is upto and I as an american will not go down without a fight. The koolaid drinkers are in for a big surprise. It would not surprise me that they are the first morons to swallow what he has in store for them. I urge everyone to start reading their history books on how Hitler came into power.
Pingback: Without his teleprompter - Obama makes fun of the Special Olympics on Leno! | Fire Andrea Mitchell!
He has hurt many families in America. He needs to say he is sorry in the public, not to an organization.
In addition, someone who claims to have experienced prejudice and stereotypes throughout life, and has written about them in great detail, should be more sensitive and refined from life’s lessons.
Furthermore, Obama claimed he was going to have the world think ‘highly’ of America again. Will this joke help?
For someone who spoke of equality as a creed. Does this joke match that philosophy?
For someone that said he would stand for all people. Does this stand up for those that participate in the special Olympics?
The fact is Obama claimed a higher standard. To much is given, much is required.
Obama has just showed us that ‘yes we can’ destroy what a campaign stands for with a single joke.
During the campaign for the White House in 2008, the media criticized Palin for being ‘common,’ ‘not-polished,’ ‘not-compassionate’ and ‘not presidential.’ However, compare Sarah Palins attitude in this video created three weeks ago for the Special Olympics in Boise, Idaho.
You decide the more ‘presidential’ among them. Watch: http://tinyurl.com/ccz6nj
It’s about time that someone in the mainstream media noticed! Yes, Obama is retarded. He thinks that the U.S. is comprised of 60 states. At the annual gift exchange (between U.K. and U.S. leaders) Gordon Brown gave Obama a priceless work of art. So Obama, not wanting to be outdone, gave Brown a gift for the ages (lol), a bag of DVD’s that don’t even play in England. Obama tried to enter a window into his own office (despite the fact that there was a door about 5 feet to his right). At one speech during his presidential campaign, Obama became outright lost and flustered (the teleprompter had apparently malfunctioned), but he gathered himself and said that children with asthma should be hooked up to breathalizers, then said, “I mean inhilator, not the breathalizer, ha ha”
Conclusion: Borderline Mental Retardation
Harvard, my ass, Bush went to Harvard too, and Yale to boot !
And since Obama is 10th cousins with Bush, we can see certainly see where he got his “brains” from. Plus, we see the great possibility that he got greased through the programs like a “good” basketball player (something he isn’t).
He still won’t release his college transcripts, so it’s obvious that there is something to hide. He was supposedly the “top of his class,” but what type of class are we talking about? My guess: The African American class (where he was most likely only 1 out of 2)!
Why are you insulting Obama? He is the best president ever!
How is that OBAMANATION?
He the best nigger prez he ever had!!
He hasn’t done shit for any race since he’s been in.
In America that is. The country that selected him.
OBAMANATION, you are absolutely right! Spot on!
He spent more money in his first few months in office than all previous presidents combined. He da best!
He reads off the teleprompter better than anyone I have ever seen. Definitely da top man!
He has managed to hide everything from his past better than anyone I know personally, never mind any US President. A+ to dat brudda!
He got into office with two very simple mantras with no substance whatsoever: hope! change! Never before have so many folks been mesmerised into such a state of mass hysteria and amnesia.
Yes, Obama is the best president ever!
That´s serious news that people are talking about Obama being retarded. I mean think about it. First he was supposed to have gone insane , now he´s being retarded. Why do you American people keep letting insane or retarded people or people you think are insane or retarded…………..run for president of your own country? I mean , wake up people!!

He is the worst president ever! He says there would be change… our country is going down the drain u idiot!
