Would somebody give the man a teleprompter! Please!
Jake Tapper reports:
President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.
He bowled a 129, the president said.
"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.
It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.
When asked about the remark, the White House said the president did not intend to offend.
"The president made an off-hand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics," White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton said. "He thinks the Special Olympics is a wonderful program that gives an opportunity for people with disabilities from around the world."
Oops!
Another thought,
Forrest Gump was a hero not due to great mental ability, but due to great mental COURAGE!
The ability to know right from wrong, even under pressure, the ability to save your friend from enemy fire, to do your best to help in every situation, these things are more important than the elitist crap they teach in our Universities or what kids learn in the streets, these days.
Stupid is as stupid does, and Obama is truly stupid, and very small!
Glenn Beck will be a MUST listen/must see show tomorrow; both on radio and Fox.
You have to expect this kind of childish nonsense from America’s first affirmative action Pres__ent.
His TelePrompTer will tell him to give a phony apology within 24 hours.
i don’t think even Beck will know what to say
Once again the real story will be how the LMSM with avoid mentioning the “goof”.
