It's been four days since the controversial performance of a Missouri State Fair rodeo clown dressed as Obama -- but the condemning statements and the calls for investigations continue to roll in.
Yesterday we reported that Mark Ficken, the announcer during the stunt who alleges he was not behind the act, resigned as president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association. Ficken, his attorney says, is trying to focus his energy on his real job as superintendent of the Boonville School District.
School officials, however, now say they are in the process of hiring an outside investigator to determine if any district employees were "involved in the inappropriate conduct." Meanwhile, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is calling for federal investigations into the actions at the fair on Saturday.

Ficken says he did not make controversial comments attributed to him, but simply said, "Watch out for that bull Obama!" Regardless, he has stepped down as head of the cowboy association, which puts on the rodeo show (and whose contract is currently being reviewed by state officials).
Ficken is not, it seems, in the clear yet. The statement from the Boonville R-1 School District -- sent to Daily RFT by board President Charles Melkersman this morning -- does not directly name Ficken, but says that the district "will not tolerate racially inflammatory statements by its...employees."
The district is hiring an "outside investigator" and at the conclusion of the investigation, "if it is discovered that District employees participated in the offensive conduct or remarks, then the District will take appropriate action," says the statement, full version below.
The NAACP in its own statement -- published yesterday on OzarksFirst.com -- says the bull-riding stunt warrants investigations by the Secret Service and the United States Department of Justice. From NAACP State President Mary Ratliff:
The activities at the Missouri State Fair targeting and inciting violence against our President are serious and warrant a full review by both the Secret Service and the Justice Department. Incidents involving individuals acting out with extreme violent behavior in movie theaters, schools, churches, political appearances, and outdoor events in general speaks volume to the irresponsible behavior of all the parties involved with the incendiary events at the Missouri State Fair.

Lynch Whitey!
Yeh, well, john F'ing kerry is sec of state, a traitor long ago...
Does that raise any questions about the honor of the so called "republicans"?
ONE PARTY SYSTEM comes to my mind.
I could be wrong, but, anybody, tell me I'm wrong.

The proper way to deal with this is to rehire the clown and extend his contract until 2016.
Washington has its clown. Why shouldn’t Sedalia have its clown.
It’s because leftism is satanism.
They can't delete fast enough!
All this ruckus for once clown making fun of another clown?
Bullfighters/rodeo clowns come to the aid of Americans who are in trouble. Obama left Americans to die in Benghazi. Old President Run And Hide’s lap dogs can yap all they want. That rodeo clown is twice the man Obama ever thought of being.
It's so nice to see we have our priorities in order.
In the land of the free and the home of the brave, who are you, and who's your slave?
Some people will not be satisfied until every white person is a slave.
More like his momma.
This is so PC it is unbelievable! Back in 1968 and 1969, when I worked rodeos they constantly racked Lyndon Johnson over the rodeo coals.
The rodeo skit with a “dummy” in a President’s mask is so old people who first saw it as children are now on Social Security.
It appears some skin color is thinner than others.
Reminds me of an old old film, THE PHANTOM PRESIDENT. George M Cohan and Jimmy Durante.
In one scene Durante is giving a speech outside a political convention, then he looks at the back end of a policeman’s horse. As the camera closes in on the horses rear, it fades to a politician giving a speech inside.
It appears today’s Ass is in the White House and his shills are all foaming at the mouth on DU.
There is more racist Bullshit in the NAACP than there is in a cattle pen at a slaughterhouse.
A once significant organization is now down to sticking their white-hating noses into a rodeo. I guess that had to pull their noses out of Obama’s ass in order to speak.
I sense a revolution coming in Missouri where liberals and black racists are sent packing to Illinois (elections of sane people can really help speed this process along).
I just hope and pray he didn’t say anything desrespectful about the prophet Mohammed.
