JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Fair on Monday imposed a lifetime ban on a rodeo clown whose depiction of President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.
The rodeo clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again. Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for Saturday's event.
The entertainment during the bull riding contest featured a clown wearing a mask of Obama with an upside down broomstick attached to his backside. Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.
Numerous Missouri officials denounced the act after video and photos were posted online. Some Democratic Missouri lawmakers suggested Monday that there should be financial consequences for the fair.

So much for the first amendment and political speech.
Now if he’d worn a GW Bush mask, there wouldn’t have been a ripple.
Really! What happened to free speech?
Sure...bet you $1k it doesn’t happen.
It’s comin’.
Can we for Pete’s sake just GROW UP? Which Republoweenies joined on this idiocy???
Now if it was Nixon, Reagan or Bush he would have gotten a standing O ..... it is not nice to make fun of Dear Leader. Even those RINO’s agreed.
This probably infuriated His Royal Majesty as much as the clown did.

“Clue #1,182 that you live in a marxist dictatorship: Any mockery of the Leader results in swift punishment / loss of professional career.”
Perhaps the clown can redeem himself by smearing a crucifix with feces.
There is an old movie THE PHANTOM PRESIDENT(1932). In it, George M Cohan is mistaken for a presidential candidate and Jimmy Durante is his shill.
In one scene Jimmy gives his spiel outside the Presidential convention, the camera then pans to the rear end of a police horse as the horse’s butt slowly fades to a politician giving a speech.
Wonder what that meant? ;-D
And here I could swear that SATIRE was protected free speech and thus all of those Nixon and Reagan masks and endless inanities by the “intelligentsia” (of the left!)
Obviously, what is sauce for the goose has gone rancid when applied against you-know-who!
Did you read about Oprah? She wants to make a movie now about him to show “how great he is”..her words exactly. That’s exactly it: They see him as a demigod. He can do no wrong, he is the Messiah!
Black (even if only half black) is the new Teflon. Don’t you dare criticize a black man, even if he is a lowlife Marxist. You’ve got to keep your inner child’s white guilt under control. Political correctness rules, don’t ya know.
What’s the difference between this and Comedy Central’s
Lil Bush?
West is a thug and hoodlum
If we only had a web site....
Time to use commie tactics against the commies...
