Wow – isn’t this exactly the sort of “political correctness” that you people whine about every day? “oh poor us – we can’t make fun of a black president!” Pot, Kettle – you know the rest.

Tell me Edward A., when did President Bush make fun of people with disabilities or anyone else for that matter? When did he make comments about a typical {insert race here} person. When did President Bush do anything as lost as forgetting the number of states we have? President Bush spent 8 years speaking (many times without a teleprompter unlike the current empty suit) during which he made some grammatical errors and on a couple occasions got his words jumbled trying to hard to be funny or folksy. Obama in 2 months has exposed more really stupid and crass thoughts than President Bush did in 8 years.

And lets talk about your genius Biden and how he compares to VP Cheney. Biden is such a complete blubbering idiot that they have finally learned that they need to keep him hidden.

I am willing to cut Obama a break on this, but spare me the inane “Bush was worse” nonsense. You cannot type a sentence together and be that clueless.

I can forgive Pres Obama for an off the cuff remark. He is a genuine person that does not harbour hate for his neighbours to the north or for anyone. What I CAN’T forgive is the Fox News show Red Eye and the obnoxious host Greg Gutfeld and all his insensitive rude guests insulting Canada when our troops are fighting side by side in Afghanistan. I bet the US troops didn’t see the humour in it either. He wants to invade Canada. HA!.What a joke. Remember the blonde girl in the USA pageant that was asked why 1/5 of the US students couldn’t find the USA on a map? and she COULDN”T answer it. Well, if they can’t find their own country how the hell will they find Canada?..and NO we don’t live in igloos and chew whale blubber…I believe Pres Obama will fix things as fast as he can, given the fact that BUSH took years to screw things up. But when a Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and the General in charge of fighting those that attacked the US under Bush’s watch are making statements that they demand a heartfelt apology, that proves there is a bigger problem in the US. I love the American people but letting Gutless off without any consequences is deplorable. The US is lucky to have President Obama. I think it’s great that he is down to earth with the people and not hiding in the White house. He wants to see and hear what his country is doing and going through. Bush did nothing to help Americans…look at Katrina…Gutfeld is an embarrassment to the USA and the world. Stop people like him, be offended by him..get him fired and spare President Obama for what happened. You know he means no harm to any special Olympian…

#55 Sorry but it’s a fact, we conservatives do care and one way we show it is by giving more, far more to charities than liberals. I suppose because it doesn’t fit the liberal narrative, it certainly wasn’t trumpeted by the MSM so you may have missed it.

My wife and I gave more to charities in actual dollars in one year than the all the reported donations of the P and VP. And their incomes dwarf ours. I suspect they confuse taxpayer money with their own and think they’re doing their part. Do a little research and you’ll find the results of the study.

What’s so shocking to me is that BO isn’t the brilliant, needs-no-experience, chosen one, as advertised. He’s not so smart, after all and that probably explains why he sealed his college records. He wasn’t about to let his grades be compared with Bush’s as happened with Kerry and Gore.

Edward, your comments made me laugh out loud, when one can finally make sense of what you are trying to say, you prove the point.

Skewer George Bush when he makes a gaffe, but when Obama does it, it’s okay, because he’s concerned about the underprivileged and the impoverished (although apparently he’s insensitive to those with special needs).

What predictably liberal, incoherent load of waste.

To read all these sympathetic words of people concerned about the poor, disadvantaged and others less fortunate, you might for a moment think you are on a ‘liberal’ web site. You can’t fool the American public, the Rushpublicans are not now and have not been for years known for their concern of the underprivileged, needy and impoverished.

And when you talk of gaffes, we have had for the past eight years the number one and only G.W. Bush…the very essence of the gaffe.

What a crock to read some of these comments.

Ole Miss Rebel, yours is the best comment I have seen in a while. You are exactly right and the boy wonder was wrong. My best wishes to you and your grandson.

Delia has described it well, there is something really wrong with 0bama. At best he has faulty radar.

I hope someone is already adding text to the teleprompter for a speech to be given in a year or two that will remind us of LBJ’s words–I won’t get them exactly right from memory–”I will not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for President of the United States.”

52. Ole Miss Rebel,

0bama doesn’t deserve to lick the feet of special needs children.

-But, that being said, I think 0bama truly is missing empathy, compassion and humanity and only thinks of himself in such insanely grandiose terms that I think he is far more ‘challenged’ emotionally, spiritually and mentally than any child born with disabilities who struggles to overcome them.

Zero is high on himself and he has no plans of caring about people suffering while he wines and dines and does the talk-show circuit. We have a ‘mental case’ on our hands if there ever was one…

For those of you who think there was absolutely nothing wrong with what the boy wonder said about special olympics I hope you never have to feel the pain of knowing that your child or grandchild is being made fun of by the President of the United States. Those children have more grace, pride, and dignity than he will ever have. My grandson was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and he is a bright happy little boy of 4 who is speaking and going to school and doing well. He will always have special needs but there is one thing for certain he in his innocent state will be far more of a decent human being than the idiot in the White House.
