So the president apologized over his joke with Special Olympics as the butt. Okay, yawn. Any politician who has made an idiotic statement like that has apologized. Now he’s gonna do time with Special Olympics. Swell. The kids are retarded. They won’t notice they’re being used for a photo op, right? Isn’t that the funny part?

The problem isn’t so much that he said it, it’s that he said it and didn’t have a clue that it was offensive. I thought he was the genius president.

It’s appearing more and more like he’s not.

I don’t know if he came up with the joke on his own, or it was his crack writing team. Either way, he should have known better. For a guy who is supposed to be so real and understanding of marginalized groups, he’s a REAL DUMBASS.
Reporter Mark Schnyder of KMOV in St. Louis says he really underestimated the anger. Add this guy to the clue train. Would you have expected the anger had it been President GW Bush? Of course you would have. Somehow Barack Obama is held to a different standard, and his insensitivity is supposed to be okay.

I underestimated the anger. Every athlete and parent I talked to about President Obama’s comment on Leno Thursday night said it was outrageous and they’re not sure they’ll be able to forgive him.

To paraphrase some of the comments: Words hurt and while everyone makes mistakes, the President should do a better job of thinking before he speaks. While no one thought the comments were premeditated, it doesn’t matter.

A woman who’s in the Missouri Special Olympics Hall of Fame said the President’s comments “put me down” and made her feel like he doesn’t care about Special Olympians.

Note to joke writers:

The only group you can now make fun of without getting into trouble: crazy folks. People with mental illness.

Next time, try something like

“My bowling score was so bad, you’d think I was a schizo.”

:::applause:::

“I accidentally dropped my chewed food back onto my plate during a state dinner. I had to tell the British Prime Minister, hey, forgive me, I’m a mental patient. We drool!”

::::applause:::::

“My wife took a shopping trip and came home with a limo full of new shoes. What is she? Bipolar in the manic phase? Somebody get her some lithium!”

:::applause:::

“The White House is so big, my daughters get lost all the time. You’d think they’d had electroshock therapy and had their brains fried to extra crispy!”

:::applause:::

So there you go, just choose persons with mental illness next time, and nobody will notice.

Hope this helped, Mr. President.
