Obama Spokesman on Rodeo Clown: ‘Not One of the Finer Moments’ for Missouri
Mediaite ^ | August 14, 2013 | Noah Rothman

A spokesperson for President Barack Obama and the White House has weighed in on the Missouri rodeo clown who ignited a firestorm of controversy when he wore an Obama mask and taunted a bull to attack him. While the president has not offered his thoughts on the controversy, a White House spokesperson who is also a Missouri native said the incident was “certainly not one of the finer moments in our state.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that he could not offer them Obama’s personal thoughts on the rodeo clown. The president is currently vacationing with his family on Martha’s Vineyard. He did, however, express his personal regrets about how the incident reflects negatively on his home state.

The rodeo clown and the organization that hired him have apologized for the incident. The president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association has resigned and the clown has been “banned for life” from performing at the state fair. A number of state officials have condemned the clown and the NAACP has called for a full investigation into the incident.

True, but it looks like he’s made his choice. Not to say the Lord can’t still bring him around, but based on what apparently is his belief system (or lack thereof!) I’m not holding my breath that will happen.

Well, breath holding is of no use.

Doing what you can to pray forth the Wind of Heaven is a lot of use. Even if it fails! Because if it fails it is still a useful drill.
