Missouri State Fair officials have banned for life the rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask while facing bulls at the event over the weekend.
The clown in question engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” and will never perform at the Show Me state venue again, the Missouri State Fair Commission said Monday, in a statement. Fair officials are also reviewing their contract with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for hiring and overseeing bull ring clowns.
The performance was “inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair’s standards," said the statement.
The fair did not reveal the clown’s identity.
During a bull riding contest on Sunday, the clown appeared wearing a rubber mask of the president with an upside down broomstick trailing from his backside, as if it were a tail. The audience was asked, over a public address system, if it wanted to see Mr. Obama “run down by a bull.” Many people present clapped and cheered, according to one witness, Perry Beam.
“It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally,” said Mr. Beam.

The broom is normal procedure for dummies at the rodeo.
That is what props them up.
You need to see the optometrist.
But it’s a dry heat!
F’ing ridiculous!...did the George Bush rodeo clown get banned? Turn the damn PC crap off!
ROFL. Now THAT is funny. Every media photo I see is of the scarecrow I guess. Tuffy Gessling... Have we seen a picture of this *ahem* person?
I think it’s the media who decided to exploit this, to ride on the coattails of Trayvon, Paula Deen, Oprah stunt, blah blah blah..
“But it’s a dry heat!”

VERY funny !!!!!

How the heck do you ban a clown with a mask on? Is that like deporting a president without an ID? You can’t send the idiot home if you don’t know where the hell he is from.
Can we get the real clown (Obozo) banned from public service?
I think a cowboy rodeo clown in 0bama mask should become a permanent fixture at the fence separating the People’s House from the People.
Ya got a man trying to do his job and entertain the crowd and he loses his local employment for life. Welcome to another jackbooted manifestation of life in 0bama’s fascist Amerika.
will they also ban all the fans who gave him a rousing applause?
If THEY don’t call out the Missouri fair officials for this idiocy they are pussies

Kinda like closing down all your mid-east Consulates because we have Muslim extreemism on the run.
I agree - that is just a scarecrow! The announcers are having fun though. “We’re going to smoke obama!” hahha.
This should definitely become a trend at rodeos across the country.
Find a new venue for the Rodeo.
Other organizations that use the place cancel and break the bastards!
