Sorry, I just didn’t like the movie Forrest Gump. It seemed silly and patronizing to mentally handicapped people. Just my opinion.

Well, I actually found it uplifting.
It showed that courage and integrity and loyalty were more important than most of the elitist things that society wants us to think are even more important.

Bunch of sharecroppers living in the White House. First they put in a playgorund, then the sharecropper’s wife is going to have the lawn cut up to put in vegetables and this jerk spends time in the basement bowling. He spent $37,000 an hour to fly out to California to appear on a talk show and disparage innocent people with Downs Syndrome. Has America gone off its rocker?

I think most freepers were personally offended by this comment, being retarded themselves.

I have been thinking about this comment all day and it actually bothers me more as the day has gone on.
It shows such a lack of judgment on his part. He knew that he was on national television so it can't be dismissed as an offhand comment, since I am sure that a lot of the interview was rehearsed ahead of the taping.
It was a big interview for him. His fans thought that it was groundbreaking. It was a big deal for him and his entourage, so it seems his choice of words would have been careful, and he says something this insensitive.
It either means that he is totally insensitive to disabled, which could be true or he has no ability to discern what is appropriate public discourse, which seems unlikely since he had been campaigning and in the public eye for eighteen months before the election.

As it is Obambi saying this, the libs in the media will try hard to give him a pass. It's likely that Bambi will make so many politically-incorrect statements against the disabled, gays, etc, that the media will have to eliminate the sanctions against political incorrectness.

On the Tonight Show...
Obama says that we shouldnt encourage smart students to become Investment Bankers we(Govt) need young people to decide to be....engineers.. doctors, teachers. Reward those kind of things that make things and makes peoples lives better
According to Obama the average American pays 30% interest on their Credit Card. He also indicated that Gov't must do something about that. I wonder what that will be and how credit may be affected?
Obama effectively said the best and the brightest should no longer expect rewards and that their sense of entitlement must be extinguished in our culture. He is demonizing the best and brightest. He's mocking acheivers and risk takers. He also turned around the entitlement argument on those who actually WORK. It's as if those who work are the bad guys.
Obama says "to make sure that before somebody makes a bad bet you(the Government)say hold on, you can't do that." Obama intends to remove risk from the bedrock of Capitalism. What is Capitalism without risk?
Oh yeah and he totally caps this all of with a dig at Special Oylmpics.

Good ol’ Ann. I love her and agree with everything she says — and how she says it. Some day I hope to see her as POTUS Press Secretary. That is if we ever again have a POTUS instead of a dictator.

Exactly. We should have different standards for journalists than for POTUS. If a reporter had given Brown a gift of DVDs that won't play in his country, I would have just chuckled. But when Obama did it, this tacky gift was an embarrassment.
