How cool is it that President Obama hates retarded people?

Yeah, pretty much unless playing blu-ray movies was all you ever wanted to do with it in the first place.

Well, that is one way of getting out of calling Chris and Shane retarded.

Just a talented politician like Obama (except working in a huge multinational instead )

Listened to Howard 100 News on the way home this afternoon. Shully interviewed Wendy. She was pretty pissed. Seemed insulted and I think she was worried about Obama taking her money.

See, I don't see Obama as an infallible person. That's what some conservatives believe we see Obama as, no, he's a human being. Human beings make gaffes. He apologized for what he said already:

March 20 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama apologized to Special Olympics chairman Timothy Shriver for making a joke about the organization during last night’s taping of NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

Shriver, appearing today on ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” said Obama’s apology was “very moving.” The president called Shriver from Air Force One before departing for Washington and said that he “didn’t want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain and suffering.”

Well, seems like open and shut case, except for the people who don't have any workable ideas on how to make America better and just want to tear down the President who HAS ideas and the ability to implement them.

See, good things can come out of this:
Special Olympics bowler: I can beat the president!

[Barack Obama] obviously never met Kolan McConiughey, a mentally disabled man considered one of the nation's top Special Olympics bowlers, with five perfect games to his credit. He'd like to go to the White House and show the president a thing or two about how to roll strikes.

"He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily," McConiughey said Friday.
...
Obama, Shriver said, wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.

So it looks like this guy will get the opportunity to beat the pants off Obama and show the whole nation that having a mental handicap doesn't mean you cannot have a skill that can impress people.

Maybe Obama can receive a lesson from this guy so he can improve his game. That would prove that there are things we can learn from mentally handicapped people.

I just wanted to stop in and laugh at this thread!

I was at work when I read about the original gaff. I said to a co-worker, "How long before you think someone will complain about Lord O' making a retarded joke?" Then I said, "Oh wait, they won't complain, they voted for him. But then, they ARE retarded." It wasn't half an hour later that the story of his apology hit. I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

Maybe if he'd have stayed in the White House and worked instead of campaigning on Leno, that would be just one more apology he wouldn't have to make. He has enough of those to make without the added der-de-der remark.

Wow.....so, where Bush was given zero wiggle room at all by you, you're all too anxious to be an apologist for Obama. You've essentially just said, "Obama isn't perfect, however, it was good that he mocked the special olympics because now some really patronizing publicity stunt might occur in which Obama can lose a game of bowling to a mentally challenged person and give a wink and an 'aw shucks' to the camera".

You keep that up and you might find yourself right in Obama's administration. Your office can be next to the "guy in charge of the nation's money who couldn't even pay his own taxes correctly" and "the guy who made it possible for taxpayer dollars to go straight to AIG execs".

And people thought Bush's administration was a joke. If things are like this only 2 months in, we ain't seen nothin' yet.
