I am deeply offended every time the stupid jerk draws a breath, opens his mouth, or walks two consecutive steps. Is there a poll for THAT?

Most people won’t give much thought to a scenario of a disabled child much thought. I don’t think this will garner much response.
Those of us who understand the implications of this comment are the only ones who will be deeply bothered by this.

I bawled all night and when I woke in the morning my eyes were red and bloodshot. I’ll never trust him with nationalizing 40 % of the economy and bankrupting us, ever again!!

As I am OFFENDED by the Teleprompter in Chief, I’ll vote to be offended by the remark.

64% share the same contempt of the handicapped. Too bad that doesn’t apply to the liberalism disorder.

I’ll have to write a PHP script to vote for me over there.

How dare you refer to the mentally or physically challenged as handicapped.
The purpose of the Special Olympics is to demonstrate just how much they are not handicapped.
I have never been so offended in my life.

No, I thought it funny. But I also thought it inappropriate.

I think it shows he’s trash. However, I don’t think I can be “offended” without having a personal investment in the subject.

The Kossacks and DU dummies have been freeping that poll, no doubt.

Not so much offended as curious how he managed to get this far in politics without knowing better than to say something that stupid on national TV. The guys’s a boob.

My problem is less with obama, than with the reaction. What would the poll results have been if these remarks were made by Bush, or Cheney, or Rush?

I think you do...this amounts to a trial balloon for nationalizing and 'reducing' healthcare costs through eugenics (more bluntly, the old or genetically 'inferior' shall be aborted or euthanized). We're ALL stakeholders. More correctly, SHAREHOLDERS. Even those that voted FOR this type of change. Paging Dr. Mengele...

Making fun of retarded people is just hilarious isn’t it. God I hope Barry is a one-termer.
