.....on Leno tonight. Watch it. He was describing his recent bowling performance in the White House bowling alley. In my opinion, I don't think our president should be on a comedy show during a national economic crisis anyway but I guess that's the president he is choosing to be.

so he should be working 24/7, even when everyone else in government goes home?

Do you want Congress to live in their offices and legislate 24/7???

IMO, after 9 at night, he can do whatever he wants... The man is President, yeah, but he's still a human being. Nobody can work ALL the time...

Bush set a record for most days off. Didn't see anybody posting here every time he went to Crawford going "Hey! We're at war! He should be WORKING!"...

I agree that no one should expect him to be working constantly. It also certainly appears he is not doing so. He has been in office about 50 days or so now and has bounced about the country pretty regulalrly thus far - Chicago, Williamsburg, Camp David, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles & Burbank - am I leaving some place out? Georgia? Plus the Wednesday night entertainment gigs.

And, yes, some of us were rather critical of Bush spending so much time on the ranch while our troops were in combat. But neither have I seen anyone complaining every time Obama heads out of town either.

I like how you zero in on the time off thing but ignore the implication that he may have made fun of special olympics participants.....

I predict an apology for the inadvertent insult, if it is true he did so on Leno. That's the way it's done nowadays.

Do I think he should have maybe stayed in Washington more than he did? Yes.


Do I truly believe the man had a SINGLE day off in the 8 years he served as POTUS? HELL NO. And you are certainly bright enough to realize the same damn thing.

And guess what, Obama won't have any either. Sooner he realizes that the better we will all be.

I'm waiting on proof that he did, in fact, make fun of the special olympics. I'm highly skeptical of that implication.

Secretly, you are a Hitler - I mean Obama - Youth aren't you? I finally figured that out. I'll bet you have a big old poster of Obama on your wall too so he is near at all times. At any rate, this is a typical, 17 year old response. NOWHERE was Bush mentioned. It's called reading comprehension. The more you people go on about Bush this and Bush that, the better he is looking. I hear these ignorant Obamanuts on the radio and they just call and scream and then start bashing Bush. I have news for you all - Bush is out and these current money issues are being festered by Obama and his gang.

Obama was without teleprompters on Leno and stuck his big ugly foot in his mouth again!! He is a moron who can't function without his toys. He is trying to take any dignity that might be left out of the most powerful office in the world. It's a shame. He's worse than Michelle the other day talking about the great Chicken and grits they make in the White House kitchen. I keep picturing Weezy Jefferson or Bubba Gump's mom. Although, I do love both Chicken AND grits;)

And they are already apologizing for it. It wasn't a big comment but when you are the president, there just might be a few mentally challenged people out there who admire you - oh wait, his entire fanbase is mentally challenged!! At any rate, he has no room to make fun of anyone nor should he be. You want to talk Bush - he had more class in his little finger and still does and always will than this joker.

I've heard plenty of special olympics jokes. Hell there's nothing anybody can say that comedians haven't before. The problem is that he's the President Of The United States, not a comedian.

Look I don't care that he said this, to me it makes no difference that the guy has a sense of humor. that's good in my book, just like Clinton and Bush had a funny bone in them too.

but what has he done that's been good so far?

But he's the PRESIDENT!! Have a little dignity!! That's the point. I will say that it seemed to be more self-depracting than anything but he really needs to wean himself off the teleprompters so he doesn't say things like this. He really can't speak without it. Not in any official capacity anyway. Right now, there are people all over this country that are pissed off - not only at him but at his government as well as many other things. He's only been in office for about 60 days and what has he done?? Fly around the country making campaign speeches.

When someone makes a "short bus" or "special olympics" remark, I just make a mental note of their stupidity. It should be a topic Mr Super Liberal Messiah of Sensitivity should know better than to even stray mistakenly into.

People get all butthurt about a joke on race or gender, but they don't recognize the complete lack of understanding and hurt that comes from making fun of someone with special abilities or conditions.

Ordered additional troops to Afghanistan
Set timetable to leave Iraq
Got the biggest spending/stimulus package ever passed
Got budget put forth last year approved, so the govt. would not shut down as it did in '95
Is closing Guantanamo Bay
Lifted stem cell research funding limitations
Appeared on Leno


Now some I agree with, others not so much. I am certain there is something objectionable to you on all points. It doesn't excuse the remarks he made last night, but to say he hasn't done anything is not really true is it?

You sound a bit like the guy I was listening to on the radio on the way in this AM(fill in show for 570 in Dallas). HE was GOING off on BO. He stated it was terrible to belittle "********" people like that. He was aghast that he would compare himself to the "retards running around a track".

I remember way back in the day, Leno was a fill in for Carson. He made some Hitler joke and the audience groaned. He said(parphrase)"Sorry, didn't mean to offend the Nazis out there". The next night or shortly thereafter he idd the same things w/Communists. Prettty funny, but I don't watch much late night talk shows. I'm all in for Nightline.

I sure hope so. And I have heard so many people, Repubs and Dems, who voted for him who are backing off of that American Idol euphoria. He even compared himself to American Idol. Get him and Octomom together and the narcissistic energy will destroy them both.

Yes, I have compared him to all the evils of the world. Because I do not see him as evil necessarily but what he is doing right now is definitely so and his vision of what we should be in his eyes is very evil. And that also goes for his crooked cronies.

I don't back down on my opinion face to face - why do so on an internet board. If I make enemies for doing so, then you wouldn't make a good friend to begin with and neither would I.

Great point Firebird... The Leno show is a comedy show, so I wonder if that led him to believe he had to try and be funny and he steps in it with the ill fated special olympics joke.

Our POTUS needs to be very selective in the media forum he/she decides to use to sell the American public. Because in my opinion he's still so new to the office he's in selling the public mode. The Leno show is not the forum at this early stage of his administration.

They were comparing him to Nixon today. I don't know how many of you ever saw that when he was on Laugh In. But he didn't say anything objectionable while on the show - just "Sock it to me" which was their catch phrase. That show had far more class than Leno though. I just think he should worry about running the country and not about signing autographs and meeting the young exhuberant fans.

So it's okay for liberal pansies to murder Bush for every little thing, but they get all butt-hurt over their liberal mancrush being blasted for saying something inappropriate?

Because see, when you bring Bush into it (someone who had NOTHING to do with this thread), it's a typical liberal spin/dodge. You're only showing that the ONLY way to defend this joke of a president is to say, "Well, Bush did it first!" You talk about us having ***** envy or whatever because Hussein made fun of handicapped, but first thing you do is bring up Bush. I guess you have ***** envy of Bush?

Amen!! We received our share of Bush bashing when he was in office. But, I laid off Obama until he started in on all this mess he's creating. Now, it's open season IMO. Like someone said at lunch - we need to take our country back from the politicians in general. I'm seeing protests on TV - haven't seen things like that since LBJ was in office. It's going to be interesting to see how far people are really willing to take their anger. My anger is released with a keyboard - hopefully everyone else's is too and it doesn't get too serious. Just listening to folks talking around us at lunch - there are some pretty pissed off people around town.

Amen!! We received our share of Bush bashing when he was in office. But, I laid off Obama until he started in on all this mess he's creating. Now, it's open season IMO. Like someone said at lunch - we need to take our country back from the politicians in general. I'm seeing protests on TV - haven't seen things like that since LBJ was in office. It's going to be interesting to see how far people are really willing to take their anger. My anger is released with a keyboard - hopefully everyone else's is too and it doesn't get too serious. Just listening to folks talking around us at lunch - there are some pretty pissed off people around town.

There was one at AIG of course but they were angry at the government.

Truly it IS the govt we should all be angry at over that debacle. I was on retention and signed a contract to receive a $50,000 retention. Small, I know, but nice for me anyway. So, when that retention period was over, if I hadn't received it I would have gone berserk. They are saying they are going to get it back through taxes - ILLEGAL - EX POST FACTO, etc. If they do this for those taking bail out, eventually, it will trickle down to those who are making their own way. If they didn't want these payments made, they shouldn't have opened the door for it. Now they are posturing and pointing fingers and such and they are all losing every last shred of dignity.

There have been other smaller ones as well and the underlying anger has been against the government - not so much Obama but Congress more than anything.

It's interesting to watch because this is how it all started in the 60's. It will grow. Mark my words. Too much anger out there. And we didn't even HAVE the internet then!!

I agree that it wasn't a huge deal - but my question is, why is he on a talk show to begin with?? That just begs for anything coming out of his mouth to be taken out of context or blown out of proportion. However, If I were the parent of a Special Olympian, he might seem to be putting it down as if "I'm so bad I look like one of them" and then laughs about it. It's all about how it's presented.

There's a strong difference between being critical of someone and comparing them to Hitler and the anti christ and saying phoenix is like a kid in the Hitler youth. Hitler killed millions of people, millions. Obama wants to create universal healthcare, tax you more, and let homos make out in front of you with rings on their fingers. Those things, are on irrefutably separate playing fields. Comparing ANY American Politician to Hitler shows an absolute lack of class. Obama is not evil in the sense that Hitler was. I have yet to see his genocide bill pop up in congress. For someone criticizing phoenix for his need to grow up you have a lot of it yourself to do. Don't you think any Jewish member of this board finds it slightly offensive to listen to you making light of Hitler and what he did? Which there's no room for debate there, you are doing that by comparing him to Obama. Being gang r a p e d and thrown into a gas chamber like worthless cattle doesn't belong in any comparison, simile, metaphor, etc of what a president is trying to do.

Whoa there!! when I mention Hitler - it's about his SOCIALISM. I know what he did - I grew up across the street from a woman with a tattoo on her arm - one that wasn't voluntary!!! Don't EVEN put FREAKING WORDS IN MY MOUTH when you don't know from where I come. As I told RR, I am also NOT anti-gay. I also had, in my second neighborhood, a gay male couple across the street from me who were good friends - in the 70's no less when it was almost a crime to say you were gay. On that same street was a Nazi - he had actually been a part of the SS and he was so pitiful - he hated it and hated Hitler and was pretty crazy from what he had done and been a part of. You don't know my agenda and lord only knows you don't know me from the this post that you wrote. Do NOT think you do and what you said is slanderous to say the least. I have many Jewish friends, black and hispanic friends, asian friends. I love them all very dearly. I would never consider Obama evil like Hitler was. But he does have evil Socialist leanings...which mean those of us who do an honest days work will pay for those who don't. Phoenix has said quite a few things of his own about me on this board....all pretty detrimental. Go back and look. The Hitler youth followed blindly and so do many of the youth following Obama.

Secretly, you are a Hitler - I mean Obama - Youth aren't you? I finally figured that out.


I wouldn't be the first and most certainly not the last who has done so. Now I just see him as a latter day Hitler - gee, what's the difference?

You know, that stuff is eerie right there! I can honestly say that I haven't been this worried about America since the days when we were constantly looking to the skies for Russian missiles. I'm dead serious. This man is the enemy to all that we hold near and dear and he is Hitler rising - that much is painfully obvious.

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao (or Hitler)

Both, in my opinion. He is doing whatever he thinks everyone wants to hear to become king of the world - I mean POTUS (sorry, slipped up a bit). He is Hitler in sheeps clothing - look at the masses who bow to him like he's something otherwordly. He's just a man and an inexperienced man at that. ONE thing he voted on that I know of and I don't profess to know everything on it but it had to do with his beloved Congo. I didn't know the Congo was a part of the U.S?? Why not help those in the U.S.?

As you all know, I find this man to be a most despicable human being. This confirms it even further for me. His arrogance is at levels I have never seen - not even from David Hasselhof or Tom Cruise!! He has become so full of himself and sees himself as leader of the world - not only of the U.S. Someone on the radio was comparing him to Hitler in Hitler's younger days yesterday - it was uncanny and quite scary to say the least. Don't get me wrong - I would be the first one to vote for a black President if I believed in him (or her) but this man is so far left he's falling into the Pacific Ocean! I just don't trust him. But then I still like George W. Bush so I'm an anomaly.

I'm sure you have plenty of jewish, black, gay, gypsy etc friends. The way you make your arguments is the problem with an infatuation for comparing Obama to Hitler. Next time you get on your high horse about I know nothing about you and you never compare him to Hitler you might want to check your own levels of delusion as referenced in the above posts.

I disagree. He is president of the US and we are in a couple of wars and we are facing all kinds of financial challenges and he is on the tonight show? That was, IMO, a big risk and possibly not a good move. It didn't bother me, but it hardly inspires confidence in his commitment and focus. Can you say celebrity culture.... IMO, this is more style and BS over real substance and grit when we need it most.

By taking this risk and going on the show without his teleprompter there was a good chance something like this would happen. I'm not one of these overly sensitive types, so I can see the mistake and understand that he didn't mean to offend, but he is the president not a celebrity figure. The President is becoming a joke in IMO. Teleprompters, concerts in the white house, spin, more spin, can't find anyone to serve who has paid their taxes like the rest of us and so on.... I'm trying to see the best in this situation but he is not delivering.

1 more thing. In this highly charged PC world we live in .. he couldn't control himself enough to speak without insulting so many. Too me that is just another indication that all of this PC stuff is for us and not those who are pushing it on us.

So it's okay for liberal pansies to murder Bush for every little thing, but they get all butt-hurt over their liberal mancrush being blasted for saying something inappropriate?

Because see, when you bring Bush into it (someone who had NOTHING to do with this thread), it's a typical liberal spin/dodge. You're only showing that the ONLY way to defend this joke of a president is to say, "Well, Bush did it first!" You talk about us having ***** envy or whatever because Hussein made fun of handicapped, but first thing you do is bring up Bush. I guess you have ***** envy of Bush?

ahaha someone drunk a big batch of idkwtfitalkinabout

Yes, bush had nothing to do with this. But my point was simple, compare and contrast. I'm still searching for ,"Well Bush did it first." I used the control+F (ctrl+f) i dont see it in any way shape or form.


But damn if something like that bothers you gtfo the internet turn off your radio and don't even watch tv. Cause in reality its ultra sensitive pansys *** liberals that cry about dumb crap like that. Next thing you're gonna be crying cause Chris Rock said a white joke BAWWWWWWW.

I'm half black you tell a black joke i don't give a damn I'll laugh if its funny.

Please explain this quote of yours having "only" to do with the socialism part. "I wouldn't be the first and most certainly not the last who has done so. Now I just see him as a latter day Hitler - gee, what's the difference?"

there are two possible meanings to that sentence. one, that Obama is indeed a modern day hitler and there is no difference or two, and I think this is more likely its a joke comparing a man who isn't really doing anything that evil in the christian sense compared to any other president, to a man who MURDERED 6,000,000 innocent people and started the most horrendous war in human history and taking those things he did lightly as a joke. Do you again want to explain how that's classy? How I don't know you? There wasn't any mention of socialism in that post of yours. I don't care what you think of when you think of Hitler.

Jonah Goldberg is an idiot. And the "liberal" poltical agenda could just as easily be compared to say, FDR or Golda Meir as Hitler. Even more accurate, since Obama's program has not and never has involved militarism, imperialism, or mass genocide. But then again, those people are not as scary.

Today's Libreal Ideology is far more Liberal then i was 60 years ago in many aspects....the further it goes left, the closer it gets to you know what......You can only go so far before you start to realize that you are actually retrogressing...

No, Goldberg is an idiot. His whole schtick is taking the argumentum ad hitlerum to a new level.

Liberal ideology is no closer to Nazism than conservative ideology. There are both plenty of similarities. Liberals in the U.S. don't go in for militarism and imperialism like the conservatives do.

Boy speaking of high horses and taking things too seriously!!:rolleyes:. I never implied what you are saying but go on and spout your vileness. I know that if I had said anything like that, I would be horrified. It may appear to you that this is what I said but to anyone who can truly see what is going on right now, they know I was speaking of his way of running government. By the way, I really am not the first to compare his policies to the policies of Socialism/Facism/Communism, etc. If you find where I said "Obama is going to kill everyone with blonde hair (as an example), please point me the way so I can make amends. I never did. I understand the gravity of that situation probably more than you do because my neighbor went through it and told us of the horrors. She would beat her children senseless but everyone was afraid to say anything because she had been through the same thing. You know, I have seen things in life that you, being in Southlake and all, could only imagine. So why don't your get off you high horse and give it a rest. It's really getting old.

Then please enlighten me and tell me what that post was about. Again I'm not trying to attack you personally as a bad person, I'm just trying to get you to quit using Hitler as comparison. If you compare Obama to Karl Marx I wouldn't have an issue. If you compared him to any other modern socialist leader I wouldn't have a problem. The problem is no one forgets when a person murders 6 million people. Any comparison to that person automatically caries with it the thought of that mass genocide whether you intend it to or not. If you do believe in Christian principles this is wrong, for Obama has done nothing of the sort. I would imagine even being from Southlake I have seen more of the world than you have, and an attack like that is completely below the belt and ad hoc. One's hometown does not limit one's understanding/knowledge of history. If anything the superior education system at southlake compared to the average public school in the state would give me a better grasp of history. I also have spoken to a holocaust survivor and read much on the subject.

I'm not saying you said Obama is going to kill people of a certain race or do anything of the sort. A comparison to Hitler implies evil of that sort though, otherwise why not just compare him to another socialist who didn't commit mass atrocities that Hitler did? Obama hasn't assumed any dictatorial control so he's unlike Hitler in that manner. He hasn't added any executive power since he was elected, nor has he announced any plans to. His book The Audacity of Hope isn't Mien Kampf. It's a poor and classless comparison. I'm not attacking you for disagreeing with him, but for drawing a bad comparison. If you ask a jewish person what they think of Hitler, socialist isn't the first thing to spring to mind. If you compare his policies to socialism/communism that argument has some merit, but he is in no way a fascist, you need to research what fascism truly is.

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist ideology that aims to create a single-party state with a government led by a dictator who seeks national unity and development by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or race. Fascist movements promote violence between nations, political factions, and races as part of a social Darwinist and militarist stance that views violence between these groups as a natural and positive part of evolution. In the view of these groups being in perpetual conflict, fascists believe only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and have an aggressive warrior mentality by conquering, dominating, and eventually eliminating people deemed weak and degenerate.

Okay, fair enough - I'll compare him to Stalin then. I guess that probably is a bit harsh for many people to even bring his name up. I was just trying to point out to you that it wasn't meant to be an insult to anyone but him and in that respect, I failed I'm thinking.

Well when thinking Hitler leads you to think socialist, it isn't inaccurate....

When thinking Klu Klux Klan i think pissy Democrats turned terrorist....also not not inaccurate.

Now...Obama is no Hitler, although the liberal political agenda can draw many many similarities....and one that Jon Goldberg has called "enlightened Nazism."

take away the murdering of millions during world war II, and obsession with a pure race....and The Nazi party can draw strong comparisons to the current Liberal Ideology....The Comparison to Obama being Hitler is closer then the Bush comparisons....

Again read my posts, I have a problem with anyone that compared Bush and Cheyney to Hitler as well.

The modern liberal movement is nothing like Nazism was in 1930's Germany. Jon Goldberg is an idiot and I've read his book. Nazism was based more on Fascism than Socialism. The democrats in the Ku klux klan also are nothing similar to modern democrats. The party shifted with LBJ's adoption of the civil rights agenda and all the klan members never voted dem again, which is why dem's lost the south for 30 years.

My point was you can't compare someone to Hitler without the audience thinking of Mass Genocide, just as you can't compare someone to the Klan without the racist implications.

Yes, bush had nothing to do with this. But my point was simple, compare and contrast. I'm still searching for ,"Well Bush did it first." I used the control+F (ctrl+f) i dont see it in any way shape or form.

So tell me. What did Bush have to do with anything? Nothing. The only thing you can even TRY to defend Obama with is that Bush did it as well which is a pathetic defense. How about a real one that is about Obama and nothing but Obama? Not about Bush, Clinton, or anyone else.


But damn if something like that bothers you gtfo the internet turn off your radio and don't even watch tv. Cause in reality its ultra sensitive pansys *** liberals that cry about dumb crap like that. Next thing you're gonna be crying cause Chris Rock said a white joke BAWWWWWWW.

Apples and oranges. Chris Rock is a comedian. Hussein is the president of the United States. Their images are different and they have different responsibilities. Kids supposedly look up to Obama, see him as a role model, or whatever else you liberal pansies say to put him up on a pedastal.

I'm half black you tell a black joke i don't give a damn I'll laugh if its funny.

Well, Chris Rock is my favorite comedian because he talks about BOTH sides, and even when he's making fun of people/things, he's telling the truth and makes really good points.

And why not dedicate a whole anti Carlos Mencia movement lord knows hes told me tard jokes than Obama, or how about you try and spend you're time trying to ban the movie ,"The Ringer." Hell go cry with those other soccer moms about Ben stillers simple jack skit on ,"Tropic Thunder."

Here again, your only defense is to say, "Well, comedians and movies do it, so it's okay for Obama to do it!" And again, it's a pathetic defense, having to say someone else does it as well, and they are comedians, not the president. It's good to see people are all for the declining of the presidency to being on the same level as a comedian or actor...

It would be Rhetoric if i was attempting to paint Liberals as Nazi's....but i am not. I am drawing Comparisons with the end Conclusion being that Liberals are Closer to Nazism then Conservative....never accusing either side of being Fascist.

I'm always open to dialogue - you hit me over the head with one the size of a large cast iron frying pan so I had to listen. I don't change my mind because I'm flip floppidy. I saw what you were getting at. I'm not an idiot and I figured it might upset people but I was hoping for Lenin since it sounds like Lennon!!:eek:

Our discussion in this thread is the rare diamond in a pile of horse crap compared to most political threads on here. I love dialogue myself for I can safely say of all the ideas I have come to learn as brilliant, lucid and illuminating not one in my life has come from myself. True dialogue improves civics and the country as whole and there are many on here from both sides of the aisle that would benefit from discussing things the way they were discussed here rather than cutting and pasting talking points.

So true. And I don't take things said here too seriously for long. I get pissed and then throw out my barbs from time to time and then 30 minutes later, I'm watching a movie with my cat:D.

But, if someone does point something out to me, no matter how angry I might get, give me time to think on it and I will usually take the right route, unless I am so attached to my convictions that I won't give them up.

On the other hand, I can't imagine Hitler on the Leno show. Thought come to think of it, that could be kinda funny.

Absolutely no comparison to Bush is allowed.

Obama has been president for barely 3 months. He's on his own. Heck, if he hasn't made a substantiated first step towards solving the economy AND congressional hunger by June, he is a failure and should be impeached.

spot on!

I watched it, and the Special Olympics comment was a no big deal. He was poking fun at himself for his bowling score and for Leno's "really good game Mr. President" comment.

Much ado about nothing - and I'm no Obama fan.

It is something.. That's the issue for me.

But damn if something like that bothers you gtfo the internet turn off your radio and don't even watch tv. Cause in reality its ultra sensitive pansys *** liberals that cry about dumb crap like that. Next thing you're gonna be crying cause Chris Rock said a white joke BAWWWWWWW.

I'm half black you tell a black joke i don't give a damn I'll laugh if its funny.

And why not dedicate a whole anti Carlos Mencia movement lord knows hes told me tard jokes than Obama, or how about you try and spend you're time trying to ban the movie ,"The Ringer." Hell go cry with those other soccer moms about Ben stillers simple jack skit on ,"Tropic Thunder."

The President fills a more representative billet than Mencia and Stiller, don't you think?

Secretly, you are a Hitler - I mean Obama - Youth aren't you? I finally figured that out. I'll bet you have a big old poster of Obama on your wall too so he is near at all times. At any rate, this is a typical, 17 year old response. NOWHERE was Bush mentioned. It's called reading comprehension. The more you people go on about Bush this and Bush that, the better he is looking. I hear these ignorant Obamanuts on the radio and they just call and scream and then start bashing Bush. I have news for you all - Bush is out and these current money issues are being festered by Obama and his gang.

Obama was without teleprompters on Leno and stuck his big ugly foot in his mouth again!! He is a moron who can't function without his toys. He is trying to take any dignity that might be left out of the most powerful office in the world. It's a shame. He's worse than Michelle the other day talking about the great Chicken and grits they make in the White House kitchen. I keep picturing Weezy Jefferson or Bubba Gump's mom. Although, I do love both Chicken AND grits;)

He is a buffoon plain and simple. Our nations highest office is occupied by a complete idiot. By the way, I call him the occupant, he is not a president, he just happens to occupy the office.

Obama, office, occupant. The triple zero.

Well,

He is most Definitely a President....Maybe not what we would want, but he is one.

He deserves the respect the office carries as well....

I would argue that he is not much without his Teleprompter, but he isn't a idiot....far from it. He knows that his popularity is as high as it is ever going to be, and it is now that he needs to push through all his agenda....or as much as possible.

I beg to disagree. Respect is earned, not a given right to a particular job title. When and if he begins to act presidential, he might then begin to garner a little of it. Show some real leadership and not just use the opportunity to push through an agenda.

And among other things, regarding the title of this thread, his comments about Special Olympians on Leno just prove once again what a total idiot he actually is, because only and idiot, especially one who holds the office would be stupid enough to make the crass, uncalled for comments that he did.

So tell me. What did Bush have to do with anything? Nothing. The only thing you can even TRY to defend Obama with is that Bush did it as well which is a pathetic defense. How about a real one that is about Obama and nothing but Obama? Not about Bush, Clinton, or anyone else.

lets see now i did mention he had nothing to do with this, but damn everyone points the finger at big bad bama like he was the first president to do it. Even though many others before him have so comparison is very if your aiming to make a point.



Apples and oranges. Chris Rock is a comedian. Hussein is the president of the United States. Their images are different and they have different responsibilities. Kids supposedly look up to Obama, see him as a role model, or whatever else you liberal pansies say to put him up on a pedastal.
Darn i guess only comedians should tell jokes, **** what will half of us do when we can't make a little jokes with others. But damn I'm sensing massive contradictions, Chris rock isn't a role model to other kids? Wow even though celebrities reach more people world wide than our own president, what he does will more affect what goes on here. Like European children give 2 ***** about who our president is... They care more about whose gonna win an Oscar than whose our president.


Well, Chris Rock is my favorite comedian because he talks about BOTH sides, and even when he's making fun of people/things, he's telling the truth and makes really good points.

ok

Here again, your only defense is to say, "Well, comedians and movies do it, so it's okay for Obama to do it!" And again, it's a pathetic defense, having to say someone else does it as well, and they are comedians, not the president. It's good to see people are all for the declining of the presidency to being on the same level as a comedian or actor...

if you're point is ,"hes the president he should be perfect." news flash you wont be happy with any president tard, the fact alone is no president period in history was perfect. He told a tard joke bawwwwwwwwwwwwww... Quit crying and go preach about it at your next sensitivity class

And I'm still laughing about how people talk about Obama doing it, and they have ***** envy, but you turned around and did it with Bush...

Here again, apples and oranges. Making a joke is fine. Making a joke that makes fun of people because of a condition they can't control is a out of line. Maybe people overlook it for comedians, but they can't for the president.

Like European children give 2 ***** about who our president is... They care more about whose gonna win an Oscar than whose our president.PLEASE tell me you're joking.... And a movie star =\= a comedian.

So why do you like chris rock? Basically its ok to make fun of some people but not ok for others to do it? Hypocrisy...

So apparently you don't get it (and probably never will which is why you never got into tu, etc.)... Chris Rock is a comedian. He is paid to tell jokes. If people get offended, they don't have to go see him, watch his shows, etc. Obama did this on national TV. If a comedian did that on national TV out of the blue, they'd be murdered for it too.
