Annnd let the pundit pearl-clutching begin!



When the hell have those people ever given the tiniest fart about the Special Olympics?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

yeah, who cares about them, right? who cares that the president of the united states of america is on national television comparing his own failure at bowling to the special olympics. yeah, no one should care about that. at. all.

OH hell...there's no getting around this one. It was off the cuff and it was stupid...own up to it and move on. Trying to put a pretty face on this comment is the worst thing he can do. STUPID, STUPID remark. OWN IT, apologize for it and remember it the next time you're tempted to be self-effacing and funny.

Dumb thing to say, to be sure. And he should apologize. But I'm sure Hannity and his ilk will be all over this for weeks, ignoring that just a few weeks ago their darling Ann Coulter wrote:

But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?

i'm sorry, is ann coulter the president of the united states? is she? are you saying we shouldn't expect better from the president than from ann coulter? i love the inability of some people to say "yep, he screwed up" without having to say "but the republicans..."

Kind of like how the republicans never acknowledged that Bush was a train wreck and instead cried out a chorus of "but, but, but, CLINTON!"

OH SHUT UP KING KONG.

Obama pulled another Oboner. Time to man up, apolofrigginggize for insensitivity and endure months of discussion of this topic that will distract people from the much bigger problems of the country,

Of course she isn't. She's a fading joke. That was more pointed toward the crowd who's going to insist this is a news story for weeks and weeks and weeks on even if Obama does the right thing and owns up to his mistake.

This is why I hate political parties. I don't have any specific party affiliation, but I do feel that Obama's comment was not a wise thing to say at all. Still, there's no need to make a blanket statement about Republicans in general or Democrats in general.

Obama's been pretty good, actually, at owning up to his mistakes.

Neither Bush not Clinton did that at all, but Obama has done it a few times and will likely do it a few more.

But at least he's capable of admitting when he's wrong.

KK, give it a rest. The majority of this board is democratic, and the few republicans here aren't going to change their minds just because you so "wittily" offend an ex-president.

Stupid comment, and as most others have said, he'd do best just owning up to it. I wonder how many disabled people will actually be offended, and how many are pearl-clutchers who want something to jump on. Presidents are people too, and, as history has proven many times over, they also say dumb ****. Trivial, really, what with that failing economy and everything.
