Obama insults Special Olympics?

You know how you can tell when a President has a bad day? When his comparison of an American corporation to terrorists is the second-stupidest thing he said:

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.

Maybe he should have brought his Teleprompter with him.

But don't you dare talk about HIS ears...

There are probably several chapters on WebMD about his type sickness...

Thanks FRiend. I was having a real brain stall on that and couldn’t remember who or what about the incident. All I could remember was that it was a DemocRAT.

Actually, I was thinking of Plugs Biden with his “Stand up Chuck” comment last fall.

I don’t watch Leno, but was planning to watch tonight. I knew Obama would make a fool of himself without his teleprompter. Actually, he’s an embarrassment with or without it.

ZERO is not just a dim bulb...his heart is EVIL through and through.

His attitude toward veteran care and his quip about special olympics is characteristic.

That one will stick pretty hard. He's a narcissistic fool.

Naw, that doesn’t fit. That was just CLUELESSNESS, this is a real troubled guy with a superiority complex. We’re into some bad stuff, and we had better do something about it. I’m prepared, let’s get this done.

I’ve wondered what makes him hold his head so, with the nose up in the air and the chin up. Is there some kind of problem that causes that or is it just years of practice from having his nose up somebody’s butt.

It airs in about an hour. I can’t stand Leno, but may have to see if it makes the cut. I doubt it will either.

Naw, it’s already being reported EVERYWHERE. It’ll look MUCH worse if they cut it.

Yes, these casual cruelties are of a piece with his championship of abortion and his opposition to the Born-Alive-Infants Act.
