Hey did you catch the Special Olympics crack Obama made on Leno?

It was highly inappropriate for him to make a comment like that.

President Barack Obama dropped the ball with saying that statement! Perhaps people will eventually find out this man is not what he has made people to perceive him to be and is not seriously as sensitive as he wants to come across to gain admiration and votes! It was a cruel thing to make fun of the "Special Olympic's" and for the President of the United States to do so on National TV....is not good to say the least...not good at all! Making jokes at the expense of those less fortunate is no laughing matter and President Barack Obama should be ashamed he did it and apologize for the off-the-cuff remark!

I'm sure everyone on here has never, ever, ever made a stereotypical comment in their life.

Please, almost every head of state makes stereotypical jokes from time to time. I will guarantee you that.

The hypocrisy is surely abound.

People should focus more so on their over-spending, mortgages, and budgets than a comment Obama made in a 20 minute interview.

If people focused more on the important things than trivial political/celebrity gossip, maybe the U.S wouldn't be having such financial problems.'

'EDIT to CAE: First off, I'm not a Democrat. Secondly, how can a few trillion dollars in consumer debt along with Americans buying houses that they can't afford reflect that they do focus on their finances? It reflects that they don't.

Average American savings have increased from 0.8% in August to 3.5% now. That's a sad savings percentage. Now while there are those who can't do that, most Americans can save more IF they didn't spend so much.

I don't think Obama knows all the details of this financial mess, but he is doing things about it, albeit they might not work, so you can't necessarily say he isn't doing anything about them.

Edit #2: One more thing, my mother was disabled all my life, and she died a few years ago. I can remember being 8 and feeding my own mother because she couldn't do so herself. Yet I didn't feel offended by the comments of Obama. I take words with a grain of salt. I never let them harm me.

lol my comments surely followed the premises, so they were indeed not non sequitur. I used the comments about Obama that were posed and then followed about how those comments are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Good job on living within your means. However, the financial incompetency of the majority will bring us all down. No bailout can save us from what we have created. The market must fix itself, and that will take time.

Peace.

Hmmmm..... It seems that Obama is also responsible for billions of dollars going towards special education programs. I think that slightly trumps his comment that made you and your Republican friends so angry. I wonder why you guys have made such a big deal out of it. Is it because your party is completely divided, you have no leadership, and you have absolutely no solutions for any of our problems right now and the only thing you can do is try to slow down progress and make big deals out of stupid crap?

here is a pic of Obama after he actually competed in the Special Olympics as a young man

Yes ...and as the legal guardian + step-father of a " special " child I was very offended.

Obama left no doubt as to who is really " mentally challenged "

BTW - I also noticed the hypocrisy of Obama when he kept referring to the " problems " that he inherited yet also kept saying that we " need to stop blaming others in Washington "

Larry the Cable Guy has more class than Obama + Larry has more common sense too.

Oh for gods sake Americans would you's just get over yourselves. So your president made a stupid remark, everybody makes stupid remarks now and then and anyone who say they haven't are too stupid to realize it.

Wow you's really now how to support your president.

I thought it was pretty funny and any Retard that was watching most likely just clapped and said "I'b innn da spcal limpics"

he must not have had his teleprompter to tell him what to say. That's the real Obama coming out.

Yes dont that make ya proud... What a joke this man is...
