Another Obama Embarrassment

Sphere: Related Content

Jeez, we knew he wasn't ready but none of us predicted just how un-ready The One was. between all the other things I've chronicled here about Obama and his less-than-stellar beginning, one would think that he would be smart enough to not pick on mentally challenged kids on national TV:

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.


Ha, I get it...or not. What, no jokes about autistic kids or kids with spina bifida? I mean dude, come on; a sitting president busts on kids who have the heart and guts to try to compete and win in spite of their mental impediments. What an absolute embarrassment this guy is on a daily basis. His goal was to change the way the world sees us and he's surely accomplished that goal. we went from being supposed world pariah's to not only pariah's but complete laughingstocks as well. Good job, Mr. President, you should be so proud.

Now don't get me wrong, I bust on most things on a daily basis, I'm in the construction business and generally nothing is off limits with the exception of jokes about people with disabilities. The humor of those jokes stopped when I was somewhere around fifteen or so.

But of course, as is so often the case with Obama, he gets even his insults wrong as records show that his score wouldn't win him anything in the Special Olympics. Watch, he'll blame the comment on Geithner's staff or something.

Treacher has some fun at The One's expense--and comedians say that Obama doesn't offer up mush to bust on. He makes Bush seem downright cultured.

I guess I don't even have to say how much media coverage and shouts of outrage there would be if Bush had uttered the same words.
