Crossing the Line AGAIN


President Obama, I know you were trying to be funny with Jay Leno. You were in Hollywood, perhaps the only place in American that still loves you and thinks you are a honest, upright man.

But when you joked about your bowling game (129, 8 year old Josh can bowl better than that) being like the Special Olympics you crossed a line that you cannot come back from. Here is what he said.

Only 2 months into your presidency and you are showing your colors as a self-centered, vain, little man who cannot say anything intelligent without a speechwriter or a teleprompter. I found a great quote on the different between you and the Special Olympics -

They offer dignity to people who legitimately need help. They defend the weak. You defend the lazy, the dishonest, the professionally offended, and the freeloaders. That makes you different from them. Quite a bit different.

You can read the article the quote came from here.

President Obama, you are small-minded and insensitive. Perhaps you need your White House Press Secretary to stop attacking private citizens from the White House Press Room and address your idiot remarks from the pulpit. Who are you going to blame now? AIG? Rush Limbaugh? Republicans? Right-wing Christian fundamentalists? Own up to this Mr. President. You screwed up big time and revealed a lot about yourself in the process.

At least Bill Clinton had some charisma to go with his ineptitude. You have the charisma of a sheet of plywood. President Obama called the head of the Special Olympics and apologized, in a manner that was described as "very moving." He even invited some Special Olympians to come play basketball and bowl at the White House. Spare me your false disappointment you hypocrite. The real dignity is with those athletes and their families, not in your fly-away rhetoric and false hope.
