When President Barack Obama appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he made a verbal gaffe, which he has indicated he sincerely regrets and for which he has apologized.About 3 minutes plus into the interview, Obama made a joke about his bowling skills referencing the Special Olympics.
The rightwingnuts have gone batshit crazy.
Oh well. They haven't a fresh idea in their brainfogged heads, so they have to create something to get airtime.
Arnold Schwarzenegger defended the president, saying that he knows Obama's heart is in the right place and that the president is a strong supporter and defender of the Special Olympics.
Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, however, showing her desperate need to find the limelight and try to turn the conversation away from her ethical problems, pounced all over Obama claiming he was disparaging and insensitive, etc. I think Palin almost wept she was soooo upset.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the same Governor Palin who dragged her special needs child all over the country into all kinds of crazy situations while campaigning with John "the cane" McCain! Only Palin didn't even bother to take care of the child most of the time; that was the job of her pregnant, unwed daughter, Bristol!
Talk about hypocrisy!

...Not to mention that she wants to reject the Stimulus money directed for education, yes education that includes programs for kids with special needs. HYPOCRITE! DITTO!!

- Made my day. Thanks!
She is not worth all the press. Her daughter’s problems are the result of her parenting or peer pressure. The exploitation of her is shameless. The kid is still not married, probably will not get married and will have to take responsibility for her actions. Send Bristol back to church and let the church make her over in its image. Maybe sex education would have been helpful. Abstinence passed her by.
Obama made a boo boo, so what. He caught it, most people would not have. He apologized. Should we impeach him now or wait for more serious things? How many gaffes did Bush make over the years? How many more will Obama make? How silly can the media get? I am glad we have a President that can go on TV and answer questions repeatedly! I hope he remains visible and he will make some mistakes. So what? Don’t we all? He is still working harder for the past five weeks than most presidents ever have. He manages to do many things at once. He has yet to take a vacation in his entire term of office. He does not get paid for overtime or get bonuses. He did not cause the problems. He inherited more than anyone knew. Why didn’t we all know how bad things were if so many of those in charge are still around and still in office? Where were they and what did they know and when did they know it and what did they do about it? What are they willing to do to correct the problems they sat by and watched develop. Perhaps they were too dumb to see it all or were paid too well to do anything. If they have no positive help to offer, then they should get out of the way until they do. They did enough damage in the past, now it is Obama’s turn to try to resolve the problems. That is why he was elected.
