President Obama said today at the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention that even a future president doesn't escape the taunts of bullies.
"I have to say that with big ears and the name that I have, I wasn't immune. I didn't emerge unscathed," the president said.
Mr. Obama, who hosted the conference at the White House with First Lady Michelle Obama, added that he had childhood memories of other kids being bullied.
"As adults, we all remember what it was like to see kids picked on in the hallways or in the schoolyard," he said.
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama posted a video on Facebook today to promote a conference on bullying the White House is hosting tomorrow.

Bullied for the name Barry?
And I’m waiting for his anti-bully campaign for the Public Unions.

I suspected Zer0’s pot induced paranoia was behind this bully business. I wonder if Toots added to his grief?

This illegal alien makes it so damned easy to totally and completely have nothing but contempt. What an absolute clown . . . and he’s in our White House with Mooch-elle. I wonder if Mooch-elle ever got razzed about her huge a$$ and thick cankles!
What an insanely stupid and worthless pair of goofusses. The ME is going to hell, people here are out of work, and these two jerks are having their own Dr. Phil show.

NO. Don't you know he is a um.. er...Christian? He went twenty years to that black Christian, er....um....Black Liberation Theology Church......he even said in his interview with Clinton Buttboy cutie whatshisname politico-turned-'honest'-newsman um.....dammit, you know! The little shrimp that married the hot blonde![I digress]...
He said "My Muslim Faith......." and was instantly corrected by little prison ass boy whatshisname....
Despite the fact that pResident Zero has yet to set foot in a Christian Church (discounting the one or two odd instances of MSM pandering)to worship - He is a Christian, dammit! He say so!

Completely understand your sentiment about the traditional role and import of a United States President. But this man who occupies the office now really is not one of the traditional flavor. He is doing his level best to devolve us down to the status of third and fourth world entities and actually could care less about being a beacon of liberty. He is nothing more than a fanatic beacon of Islam. I put forth his recent responses and reactions to the turmoil in the middle East as evidence. Anywhere a fanatical Islamist element is involved in taking power, he is full favor of, period.

I guess he didn’t read the Wisconsin death threat to the lawmakers.
It’s always about him.

"I have to say that with big ears and the name that I have, I wasn't immune. I didn't emerge unscathed," the president said. Sounds like the kids in Kenya were very cruel to the 'Bamster in his youth.

Geezus effing Christmas. The leader of the free world and beacon of liberty in the world is pissing and moaning about being bullied?
Lol. That was my first reaction too. Wow - they're hosting a conference on bullying at the White House tomorrow...yeah...that's a real priority. (rolls eyes in complete disgust)

Bullying over his name? Is he saying that he was bullied in college because I thought he went by the name Barry Soetero until then?
