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

Posted on 08/14/2013 4:23:46 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

ROFL. These hypocritical hrumphing dingleberries will spend years on a nonsensical, politically correct "investigation", yet not a New York minute on whether their messiah is even eligible to vote much less sit in the Oval Office.

Stupid filthy bassturds.

The problem in this land is a big time torpedoing of love.

God is love.

Connection is not rocket science. There is NOT a problem whether God wants to love us. There is a problem whether we want to love God. And God is stretching out the everlasting arms. Will we come to them again? Really we look very stupid here!!!

I think he has F’d himself quite royally already. Your sentiment is like trying to damn the devil; it’s redundant and thus, foolish. Except that Barack Obama is a man, just as much as son of Adam as we are.

“Stockman subsequently tweeted, “If that rodeo clown had sexually assaulted a San Diego city employee Democrats would be defending him” “

I LOVE this guy, Stockman!!!!

If anything they are at fault for not seeking to make peace between both parties. Let in some light for a change.

I haven't been to many rodeos, but my recollection is that the rodeo clown jumps into the ring when the rider comes off the bull to divert the bull's attention away from the rider. In other words, the clown becomes the substitute target in place of the fallen rider. These are great guys.

IMO, it is the liberal and WH response which is off base. They are an embarrassment to the nation.

Explain to me the difference between a rodeo clown making fun of a politician and one of SNL or any late night comedian doing he same. Aren’t they all covered under the first amendment ?

I’ve heard the clown bit characterized as too much, going too far, being openly disrespectful. Guess what, that works for me. I respect the office of President, but not the clown currently occupying it. He has earned no respect (in fact just the opposite), and he gets absolutely no respect as far as I am concerned. So was it disrespectful? You bet it was, and bravo to the clown!

True, they are not even explaining context. Like I said it could even be viewed as sympathetic, “hey look at the angry bulls trying to get at Barack.”

Well I am praying the Lord that even this might be used as an opportunity to let some light into this dark place. God’s already shining. All we have to do is to quit being clouds.

The Democrats are reacting to the rodeo clown like Muslims to a cartoon of Mohammed.

Excellent and TRUE point.

Obama needs about ten million emails saying, “It’s a joke asshole”.

Listened to Beck today and he was hitting this perfectly.

The screaming Libs are making out that Obama is Mohammed and if we do not stand up and stop this shit now it will never stop.

This is going too far. When a clown cannot wear a clown mask and say a simple thing and then now have a niggra group wanting to file charges on him. What next.... a bullet to the head when someone says anyting against the ONE????

Like my tagline says. Time for all to look at that “line in the sand” and step over it. This has gone on for too long.
