http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/03/president-ob-15.html ^

Posted on 03/19/2009 7:23:43 PM PDT by bryan999

"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 Hpuse deputy press secretary Bill Burton said. "He thinks the Special Olympics is a wonderful program that gives an opportunity for people with disabilities from around the world."

Maria Shriver has long made the Special Olympics her special cause.

So, will she or Arnold come to the defense of the Special Olympics?

Did you photoshop the teleprompters out of the picture?

It appears that Zero can't even answer the phone without guidance.

Another thought,
Forrest Gump was a hero not due to great mental ability, but due to great mental COURAGE!

The ability to know right from wrong, even under pressure, the ability to save your friend from enemy fire, to do your best to help in every situation, these things are more important than the elitist crap they teach in our Universities or what kids learn in the streets, these days.

Stupid is as stupid does, and Obama is truly stupid, and very small!

I wonder what Governor Palin thinks about this remark. She is the mother a special needs child, you know.

What the hell is the President (Teleprompter) of the United States doing on a comedy show? The President should be GOVERNING, not soiling the name of President.

And geez, this Kenyan can’t do anything without his teleprompter. Was Michelle the one who proposed?

Palin would be well within her rights to call Obama a horse's ass for this.

Well, now we see, once again, why the donkey is their symbol, don't we?

Even worse...Glenn Beck has a show drawing HUGE ratings on Fox at 5 p.m. Glenn has a ‘special needs’ child. Get the popcorn.

RUSH:...So, "Teleprompter, do you have a name?"

"Teleprompter, in your opinion, how is President Obama doing so far? Did he convey the level of anger you hoped for regarding what you told him to say about AIG? Teleprompter, is the president ever argumentative with you, or is he compliant with your instructions? Teleprompter, have you ever thought about helping Secretary Geithner, or do you work for just one person? Teleprompter, how are you and the First Lady getting along? Are you dating anybody, teleprompter? Mac or PC? There's a rumor, teleprompter, that you send out a small shock to the president when he mispronounces words or mangles phrases you tell him to say, or that you can even make him cough. Is that true?

"Teleprompter, in private, is Joe Biden as buffoonish in private as he is in public? Tell us. We want to know. How does it feel, teleprompter, to be the First Teleprompter for an American president? You're the First TeleprompteR, capital "F"! First Teleprompter. Teleprompter, as a consumer of electricity, how do you feel about cap and trade? Do you feel threatened and endangered? Teleprompter, do you listen to talk radio? Would you consider yourself a Dittohead? When did you first meet Barack Obama, teleprompter? Are you paid with taxpayer money, and if so, did you have to fill out Obama's questionnaire before you were hired as First Teleprompter? And teleprompter, what are your plans post-presidency? Will you retire to Silicon Valley, or will you tell Obama what to say when he's giving speeches at a million dollars per year after his presidency? And finally, teleprompter, are you nervous about President Obama appearing with The Chin on The Tonight Show without you?"

He’s basically a street hustler who hustled his way into the presidency.

If this were a comedy movie starring Eddie Murphy it would be light hearted hilarity. Unfortunately, its become the Washington D.C.-ville Horror!

He's probably very confortable with that forum, afterall the White House and congress are one big comedy show these days.
