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.

All the horses at the rodeo should have an Obama sticker on their rear ends. Then when someone asks why, the cowboy just says, “ Because only a horse’s ass would have an Obama sticker.”

We are on the way to becoming North Korea. Maximum Leader must not be mocked and his subjects are expected to worship him. This is outrageous, alright; it is outrageous that the clowns life has been ruined and the Rats want financial penalties, as well. The next step is just to jail or disappear those citizens who don’t display the proper attitude.

Remember the fun we had when Obama won the Noble Prize?
Everyone came up with all sorts of hilarous press
releases and headlines.
Why stop now?

Headline: Obama takes part time job as rodeo clown to
afford Obamacare.

You know the old saying, “Mess with the Obama and get
the broom?”

Concerned citizens should consider not attending MO state fair?

But....I’m sure there are children that want to go so depriving them because of the actions of radical fair officials wouldn’t be right either.

The DUrs are foaming at the mouth, falling down, getting skinned up and wallowing in the mire because of this offence against their demi-god Obama the Great.
