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.

Further proof that Republicans are as useless as tits on a bull.
“If you want to find out who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
A guy wearing an Obama mask is bad but TV shows, books, movies asking for Bush to be murdered was free speech, and a guy on late night TV making a “joke” about the minor daughter of Palin being raped was okay with them too.
What a sick, perverted country we live in
Once upon a time they worked for us, now they own us.
That rude is seriously light in his loafers - where was that pic taken - the queer golf tourney?
the clown needs to sue and so do the people, by not attending, or perhaps they can go out and all buy the faker’s face mask and deface in on tv...
I don’t know the name of this rodeo clown, but I am sure that some intrepid reporter will publish it.
God ... will you PLEASE strike some sense into America .... please ???
He should have dressed up as a horses ass. Most of us would know who it represented.
Bammy is STILL the firearm and Ammo salesman of the month (for ~6 years running).
That'd be me. Not gonna have it. Not for a minute.
Nope nope nope.
Stay classy, jackass.
““The “clown” needs to get a buck from a million or so of appreciative American fans.”
This.”

LOL, north end of a south bound horse.
Republican officials were pissed off too? Sounds to me like that broomstick was off target.......
He should run for office...(with the mask).
