Already stinging over DVDgate, White House officials called a hastily arranged news conference Thursday evening to announce that the doors of the White House bowling alley had been thrown open to the DC Chapter of the American Quadriplegic Association.
Update: Lay off, you stupid right-wingers! Get a sense of humour.
Upperdate! SDA gets results premonitions! - "Before the taped interview had even aired, the president telephoned the Special Olympics chairman Tim Shriver from Air Force One to apologise and invite some of the association's bowlers to the White House to show him how it was done."
interestingly good ol' CBC never made a mention of the gaffe.
I'm really getting worried for the US. It's beyond amusing now.
Well, when the Russians or North Koreans make threatening gestures, or otherwise, we can expect The One! to show up on Tyra or Ellen, for the daytime audience.
When the going gets tough, TOTUS will find those to lick his boots and drool
Gee I wonder what Catsella will say?
The inmates have effectively been handed the keys to the asylum's executive washroom.
And so we add yet another gaffe to the 'life script' of Barry Free Ride Obama.
While in the US on buisness this past fall every time the topic came up my response was "Who ever wins there will be a new election in 4 years" reason being I assumed John would kick the bucket in the next 4 years and that surely Big O couldn't keep the charade up for that long. You mean a Jr Senator of a corrupt state isn't prepared to play with the big boys? WOW we are all surprised.
The DVD thing has gotten better, apparently the DVD's are all region encoded so they won't play in the UK...
The most amazing thing is how the media plays this, if Bush had snubbed a world leader by hitting the walmart on the way to the meeting, he would be an embarrassment but to most of the media big O's shit smells like cupcakes.
Exactly, DanBC - for Obama, someone who cannot handle being questioned, criticized, argued with - when this happens, he'll flee to a situation where he is surrounded by drooling, fawning adoration.
He psychologically requires this; he can't handle any situation where he feels that the people around him aren't submissive to him.
He'll lie, he'll misinform, he'll manipulate emotions using fear and hope - and, he'll divide the people, he'll set them up to fight each other rather than criticize him.
As I've said, Obama could have dealt with the AIG bonus payments, which are signed contracts made before bailout payments in two ways. But both had to be immediate, from his administration and open. He could have told Americans that the current bonuses HAD to be paid because they were legal contracts and he is sworn to defend the Law. And he could have said that any future bailouts would include a 'minimal' to no bonus clause.
Instead, he actually claimed ignorance of the issue - when he most certainly knew. He feigned 'anger' and 'outrage' when his emotions were only outrage that he might be blamed for it and fear that he was losing control of how people adore him.
And he fled to sycophantic spas - to a Town Hall meeting in California meeting a handpicked crowd who all swear to adore him..(hate to say this but this reminds me of another Hussein, who had a video posted on the news before the American invasion, which showed him standing in a public square and 'ordinary citizens' (heh) coming up, adoring him, kissing his hand)...
And fled to a TV show, again, where he can perform, where he can charm, where no-one asks him critical questions.
He's going to be doing this more and more. And he's going to incite Americans to hate each other - the poor vs the rich, the left vs the right, ....more and more. That deflects criticism from him..and he can stand above and gently chide them, as he did today in California, and tell them not to fight each other.
Time for a new teleprompter. I hear the latest models have class.
It's sort of like Kinsella's Cataquiddick. Barack does all sorts of godawful things, then gets in trouble for a hardly off-colour at all, human-type joke. (Okay, he should have had more sense than to say it on Leno. You see how much he needs that teleprompter?)

What would the press say if Bush had said something like this? Betcha with Obama they say nothing.
Obama also told Leno that he was stunned, absolutely stunned, to hear about those AIG bonuses.
Now wait a minute. Those were specifically referred to in the 787 billion dollar 'stimulus package' that he, Obama, insistined on rushing through Congress or 'the sky would fall'..and this bill was signed, signed, signed, by Obama.
So what are we to conclude? The reference to bonuses was specifically in the Bill. Are we to conclude that a Bill of this size and importance - as Obama stressed repeatedly that it was - was not read by this 'President'? He didn't read it? He didn't ask questions of his Treasury Office if there was something he didn't understand?
After all, he already broke his campaign promises that each and every bill would be posted on a public site for several days before being voted on, and before being signed.
And he broke his promise that each and every line of these bills would be gone over, line by line, to check for their functionality.
And he broke his duty that the Congress would be required to READ the bill before he insisted, and demanded, that it be signed. His deadline gave Congress no time to read the bill.
And then, Obama professes surprise! He, who signed the bill, didn't know about these bonuses! He said that he'd do 'everything' to get the money back. Now wait - that money was part of a legal contract. Is Obama seriously suggesting that he would violate American law and the constitution?
Appearing on Leno's show is not like being criticized and questioned. Obama avoids any such situations. Obama appeared in the California Town Hall to 'suck up' his required adultation and adoration from the handpicked crowd. He, psychologically, needs adoration. And he appeared on Leno's show for the same thing..adoration and a public manipulation of the American people. So he could tell them that he was 'shocked' just shocked at hearing about those bonuses. In the bill that he signed. And didn't bother to read.
Notice that Obama avoids any and all press conferences where the questions are not prescripted and his answers are not prepared and on the teleprompter.
Oh, and during his flight from work, Obama also was on ESPN - talking about...basketball. And he'll be on 60 minutes, also prescripted. And a news conference next Tuesday. Watch that - and watch how the questions will be prescripted and watch his teleprompter answers.
Americans are the ones who are gradually, becoming shocked..at what has happened..and what they voted in as 'president'...someone who is not merely incompetent but who can deeply harm them and their country.
Settle down kids...according to Marcia MacMillan at ctv,the appearance was a roaring success! Move along now,there are Cons.MP's to mock.
E.T. Do you think he's lying about not knowing about the Bonuses in the Bill he signed, or do you think he really just didn't read the thing?
And has any sitting President ever appeared on a late-night talkshow before? Isn't it sort of undignified?
Black Mamba
he knew
The USA is in real trouble. Which means we are as well. No matter what they say. With this guy at the helm where bound to have the keel of the ship of state gutted. With us on the rocks of the financial storm this carnival act has started.
Like RW haven’t quite figured out yet if he's the puppet or the real man? All I can see is this guy is catastrophe in action.
JMO
Now many in the US are saying that Obama really needs to get back to more important business, like his March Madness pix. Hey, the more time he takes on his pix, the less time he has to further decimate my retirement accounts. The interesting thing is when he was without TOTUS discussing his Pix, he had no problems (gaffes) at all.
Hold on a minute. Nothing gets done if congress does not approve. It's the whole wretched ship, captain & crew, that are to blame. But who put them there in the first place?
If there's buyers remorse out there, joking about the amateurism will do nothing to rectify the situation. In addition, the MSM media have to be bitch-slapped for their unquestioning support of this corrupt regime.

I think we all what would happen if a conservative had said this.
From the ABC comments section:
(I couldn't beat this one, so ...)
"You guys can't possibly think Obama doesn't have respect for the mentally challenged. He put them in nearly all his cabinet positions that he has filled to date. One is the treasury secretary. Do I even need to mention Nancy Pelosi? She has the overly happy facial expression and drool running down the lip. You conservatives need to stop flaming Obama over this. You guys only had one retard in the oval office. Obama has a whole team plus retard strength."
and then there 's Barney ....
We all say dumb things, sometimes.
When are the mistakes for this man going to be too great for even the silliest syncophant to stand up and pay attention?
I remember when completely bogus rumours went flying around about Governor Palin reducing funding for special needs students (she actually increased it). No one in the press apologised for that. Now Mr.Chosen One opens his big mouth yet again.
"It's like the Special Olympics or something"
I'm pretty sure that should be:
"uh it's uh like uhh th-the uh Special Olympics or uh something"
'We all say dumb things, sometimes."
That's a retarded thing to say Gus.
BTW Kate...I don't think the Paralympics are the same as Special Olympics. I could be wrong.
Ah yes, E.T. covered my question on the Hugo Chavez thread. He's sleazy rather than clueless, but he's a little bit of both.
Special Ed Owe doesn't bother to read the bills put before his royal highness. He does not let his underlings cloud his mind with minutia such as AIG bonus'.
Obama gave us the mantra that "words matter". He should take his own advice and think before he speaks. The Great One is careless with his language and has the instincts of a elementary aged child. When he flubbs the throwaway line, he gets defensive and chides the audience. Very impressive.
"That's a retarded thing to say Gus"
So is that RFC, you do realize that is an unacceptable word to use?
Looking for short-bus airforce one pics.
And to think that Kinsella would attempt to convince Canadians that the poor boy in the posted photo as - Sneaky!
Disgraceful!!
Yea, right K-man this little kid would sell us cat meat and pretend it was beef if he could only – walk.
So is that RFC, you do realize that is an unacceptable word to use?
Posted by: Right of centre
Unacceptable? Pffh! Not when it aptly fits.
It is offensive when using it to refer to a mentally disabled person,
Not offensive when using it to refer to a willfully ignorant but supposedly intellectually capable person.
The 'o' is retarded and so is his whole giddy team as demonstrated to date.
Here is a message from Mr. Subliminal that should calm some of these fears ...
As a long-time observer of the American political scene, I have been asked to comment on President Obama (Hugo Chavez on crack). Some right-wing (sensible) critics have gone as far as to suggest that he has violated the constitution (no brainer) by hiding his foreign birth (pick a country).
I happen to believe he is qualified to be president (when all other living Americans have died in a plague) and has a considerable grasp of economics (can make change from a dollar). He is also a master of communication (as long as someone else wrote the speech) and has a broad vision of America's place in the world (pile of ashes).
He will no doubt bring peace to the Middle East (global holocaust) and reverse the terrible ravages of climate change (no more mild winters).
We can look forward to a long period of prosperity and innovation (as a colony of China) and it is quite conceivable that Obama will prove to be so popular that further elections will not be necessary (Biden tells me) as The One becomes elevated to the status of Lord of All (Michelle was saying) and Benefactor Supremex (made that one up myself).
I liken the American voters,that is the ones who voted for the big Owe to the frog in the pot of water.They seem to be unaware that their demi god has them on simmer.
Having a brother who participated in a few special olympics, let me say this.
Ever since selective abortions(aborting non-normal babies)has become popular with the leftoids, a real elitism has developed vis/a/vis the mentally handicapped.
Witness what happened with Palin and her down's son.
It is nothing but pure bigotry, in it's most vilest of forms.
Inclusive eh? Ya right!
"look at me, big time POTUS, I think I shall slag some retards now"
Do you think he's lying about not knowing about the Bonuses in the Bill he signed, or do you think he really just didn't read the thing?
Does that matter? Either he's a pathological liar (which seems to be developing into his MO) or he doesn't care enough to read the legislation he's signing.
Sorry, but if *I* were president, I would read legislation that crossed my desk and - more to the point - demand that legislation not be longer than the Bible so the task is manageable. Any bill that I couldn't read in a timely manner would get a veto until they got it right.
On the bright side, we have - what, 19 months or so until the 2010 midterms - and the next presidential election is in 2012.
Now I know Obama and his drooling adorers are going to try to figure out a way to keep him there, but it won't work.
Every time Obama speaks, he further guarantees he will be a one-term, regrettable, president.
Don't be dorks. Obama was not referring to 'retards', he was talking about 'spazzes'. I am a little surprised Leno did not work the Special Olympics remark for its full comic potential.
ET I wish you'd quit pussy-footing around and tell us how you really feel about Obama.
I wonder if congress or the Obamprompter will be as quick to tax book advance signing bonuses?
Jay Leno suggested bonuses should be given out after results. but he was afraid that congress could turn on an tax anyone.
wasnt Obama's latest book advance 500K
Come on now, we all know there will be No outrage afterall it was a Kennedy that created the Special Olympics.
Now if that had of been Bush they would want him Tarred & feathered.
Not sure if someone said this already, but can you imagine the outrage if W had said something like this?
Front page news everywhere.
Leftists like Obama get away with each and every offensive comment, whether flippant/brainfarty or deliberate.
Should a non-Leftist make the slightest slip of the tongue, there's always folks like Warrin' Kimsheila listening, ready to use it to demonize the non-Leftist. Whatever can be used, however illogically and irrationally, against a non-Leftist, it WILL. EVERY time.
But folks like, say, Chretien, Clinton and Obama... they can say racist things, derisive things about the homeless, sexist, ageist, etc... and even make fun of persons with disabilities, but they'll be instantly forgiven and defended, as the "Progressive Liberal Left", wholly a-priori, presumes them as "meaning well, not ill", the opposite of how they automatically presume non-Leftists.
Leftists are the biggest hypocrites of all. They give brazen hypocrites like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Vladimir Putin a run for their money.
Be fair. O hires the handicapped. He supports the handicapped. To him not paying taxes counts as a disability. He also hires a lot of people with ADD as they seem to forget what they said or did a lot. As for him..I'll let you decide. I had a nightmare last night. I cruised into a drive-thru to get some food, Barney Frank took my order, Pelosi made change and O told me I couldn't have what I wanted but would have to take what I was given. The tab for a tofu burger with potato peels was 500 billion dollars and tire traps in the drive- thru prevented escape.
Obama himself has an intellectual handicap. He can be good at one thing, like speaking, but, see, he needs a teleprompter to tell him what to say, as he can't think up anything good by himself.
He's basically reading out loud, like a kid from a book in a classroom, only a bit more sophisticated in delivery.
Obama also has a perception-to-comprehension handicap, ie. the inablity to properly mentally process, organize, link-together in relations, connections, interactions, etc., the data his senses deliver to his brain for processing. Whether he can help it or not, that's the question. I believe that most people can help themselves, but they don't know it, or don't know how. Fortunately for me, I had no choice but to build my own ability to think and understand the real world, as I realized that to simply let others tell me what's what who don't know what they're talking about... would just make me screw up a whole lot of stuff all the time for lack of understanding of the reality of things... just like Obama's doing now.
The problem with socialism and the nanny state is that it robs human beings of the imperative requirement to develop their intelligence so as to be enabled to take care of themselves, to survive whatever they'll face in life. Hence the failure of "progressives" to develop mentally, intellectually, psychologically, leading to confusion, weakness, helplessness, dependence, guillibility, susceptibility to doublethinking hypocrisy, willingness to go with the social/political correctness flow even if it hurts minorities who are unpopular with the "progressive" movement/regime/state apparatus/community/subcommunity to which they belong...
Yes, Gus, we all say dumb things sometimes. But the guy who made the Special - O comment is piling up quite a mound of dumb things said. He's not your meter-reader or mechanin. He is the POTUS Of America.
With each passing day he is giving more and more of the American voters good reason to ask "WTFDWD"?
And even the POTUS makes mistakes. I love reading SMA but jumping on every single mistake Obama makes like rabid dogs is getting to be a bit much. He made a mistake; its a joke we've all probably made before but he owned up to it and apologised immediately. Give him SOME credit people, he's doing a much better job than some of us would do.
Did anyone already say this?

"Obama, Shriver said, wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball."
>>>>> "Shriver is the son of Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver and nephew of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, whose endorsement early in the Democratic primaries was critical to Obama winning his party's nomination."

Speaking in my highly trained professionally certified and licensed role as a physical therapist, who has worked with the disabled A LOT, I love it when DemocRats actually say what's on their minds. They invariably let slip their utter contempt for the disabled, the poor, Blacks, Whites, anyone who isn't in their little club pretty much.
Because I'll tell you what, every single one of those Special Olympics kids has more heart and bigger stones than Barry the Messiah. Every single one.
Tell you something else, most of the disabled, crippled, smashed, mutilated people I've tried to help over the years do not give a tinker's damn what Barry The Messiah thinks, or what anybody else thinks either. They are busy working.
What makes me particularly pissed about this is it reveals what morally corrupt creatures these Democrats are. Officially they are the Friends of the Disabled, they LOVE the disabled, they feed and clothe and house the disabled, their big big hearts bleed for the disabled. Only the DemocRats can be trusted to take care of your poor helpless disabled kiddies, the Dastardly Republicans will let them starve naked in the gutter!
Unofficially, off the record when nobody important is listening, you get "special Olympics" jokes. Its all bullsh1t, lies to gain political advantage. The instant money for the disabled becomes inconvenient, under the bus they go.
