I am offended. If you are close to someone who wasn’t blessed with full physical or mental skills, but do the very best with what they have, the contrast is striking. O has both physical and mental, yet wants to blame everyone else fro any shortcomings.

"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'm sure you know, Friedrich, that none of those MEN would have said such a thing because it isn't in them to say such things. Its not in most of us to say such things in a public setting at the very least. Maobama is of low breeding and is a product of his environment. His whole miserable persona is contrived by him and the people who pull his strings. We have much work to do.

I think 64% of the people are concerned that political correctness has gone so far. Obama doesn’t deserve our understanding but I think most people just took it as an off the wall attempt at humor. Its the libs who take offense at every little comment.

ZERO HUSSEIN is a perfect Laxative! and an Excellent Agent for Bolemics! One upchucks and goes at the same time after any exposure of more than a few seconds to the TOTUS!! Witha poll like that, this paper must be aimed at Morons:-)

don’t think I can be “offended” without having a personal investment in the subject.

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...


I agree that he showed a very intolerant elitist attitude. I am shocked that he would say it but then seems fair game to make derogatory comments towards Christians and physically/mentally challenged. Frankly, I thot same thing—Anyone considered “inferior” is a target.

So many people think that he can do no wrong.

If Bush had made a comment like that, they would have crucified him.

I just found out that I could vote twice in this one. Thought I’d pass that information along. Of course, one should only vote once in any online poll. To vote more than once, well...it would be wrong. Just wrong.

No I was not. Political correctness “gotcha” games are for thin-skinned liberal weenies who can’t argue their point on the facts. We are better than that and we should not legitimize the Left’s tactics.

I’m offended this nitwit spends time on comedy shows yucking it up with talk show hosts while people are losing their jobs and the economy is going down the toilet. The special olympics comments wasn’t the big deal.

I’m offended that he doesn’t appear to “work”. He flies around the country on daily junkets; appears on television; cannot speak without a teleprompter (and from the St Pat’s day party....he can’t get that right either); It appears that someone else is running the country while he is off playing somewhere. By the way...where is the transparency he promised?
