Obama Compares his Bowling to Special Olympics

Quote from TGregg:

That's the interesting part of this. Did Obama make a mistake? Yeah, probably. But nothing very serious. It's just a joke.

But imagine the screaming rage and the front page stories and the endless hand wringing the left would have engaged in, had Sarah Palin said this.

If a conservative republican had said this, it would have defined them. The media would never let it die. Other republican officeholders would be repeatedly asked "how they felt" about the statement and if it reflected official policy. The hapless official who made the comment would be forced to make endless ritual apologies, then forced out of public life. See Lott, Trent.

With Obama it will be a one day story at best. Most of the liberal media and the networks will ignore it.

Obama's IQ is directly correlated to his teleprompter.

Take that away and the points start dropping off real quick.

All this froth. All this righteous indignation. Now if only it was meaningful and the people to whom the misguided remark was directed were offended. Oh, wouldn't that have been something?

You'd best be careful, boyos, otherwise these tempests in your teapots will spill over onto your bibs.

Good point. And if you stand by your principles you'll hold Obama to the same standards.

Bullshit. Limbaugh's comments are incendiary, repeated, intentional and span years.

Quote from John_Wensink:

There is a big difference between saying stupid things than actually going on national TV and making fun of the mentally handicapped.

Not to mention Bush has a higher IQ.

Perhaps is Bush did all his thinking from a telepromter he would have looked much smarter.

Obama is nothing but the manchurian candidate. I think they found the stupidest person who was a minority to use as their puppet.

Bush didn't need a teleprompter because he had true convictions that never changed plus Bush is a very bright guy.

He played baseball in college, Cheerleader for the Football team. He has a real life in college and he made c's when c's were c's. He managed the Texas Rangers, Flew jets and did a great job as President considering he had the worthless democrats to deal with and the lying media and of course the Americans on the Government cheese.

Oduma when to school when grade inflation was status quo in Ivy league schools.

80% of the people who graduate from Harvard now have honors. Its a joke. Obama passed simply because he was half white.

...and if you have any perspective you'd be over it by now or is this the threadbare conservative rallying cry. Oh Patrick Henry
has risen.

Hang in there. With the new stem cell funding on its way, they may yet grow you a brain. Just remember to keep breathing.
