Obama on Leno - insults Special Olympics, disabled

President Obama Jokes About Being a Bad Bowler: 'It's Like the Special Olympics'

March 19, 2009 8:56 PM

The first appearance by a sitting president on "The Tonight Show" may well end up being the last.

President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.

Read article here.



Like I said, every morning is full of surprises.

Of course, since it is our Glorious Leader, this will be laughed off by the Elite Media and the ObamaNation. Imagine if Bush had said it. I know the disability community and they would have been calling for Bush's head if he had said this.

And isn't it a sad day when the office of President is demeaned by sitting on Jay Leno's couch to try desperately to score some popularity points. In the midst of all these "crises", seeing his poll numbers falling, he hops his jet (or jets - filled with staff and protection) and hightails it to Hollywood for an ego boost.

Reminds me of Sally Fields in Soapdish. Anyone see that? An aging, narcissistic soap opera queen allays her insecurity by going to a New Jersey shopping mall with a staffer (Whoopi Goldberg) in tow. They separate and then Whoopi comes dashing up to her, yelling "______, aren't you __________? I can't believe it! until she attracts a crowd of adoring fans. Sally goes home a contented woman. But not for long, of course.

What next?

Oh, we already know. Preempting prime time next week in the American Idol time slot - a move undoubtedly calculated to piggyback off Idol's high ratings. You know, people are used to sitting down and watching then, so maybe they'll tune in our Glorious Leader.

What a desperate man who needs this kind of adulation.

I'll bet Obama's teleprompter - which in two days has acculumlated 784 Twitter followers - will have a lot to say about this this morning.
