You can't sugar coat Obama's mind set. When he says something, he means it. This power hungry tool of a president is in charge. To quote his favorite pastor
"God bless America..no...God damn America! The chickens will come home to roost"!

Isn't your post kind of a low-brow jab at the Special Olympics, too? After all, aren't YOU calling all the contestants retards, by saying that they're ALL "mentally challneged [sic]"?

Last time I looked, I couldn't sworn that the Special Olympics were for the physically handicapped as well.

So in making your jab at Obama, you've just joined him in the "Ooooops! Aw, FUCK!" club by saying something really stupid that wasn't at all what you meant to say.

Are did you MEAN to say that all Spcial Olympics participants are retards?

As I posted in another thread mentally challenged/physically impaired. Sorry if I forgot the physically impaired part this time around. That was an oversight....not a jab.


Hey, if your on the same page of Obama with the "special" people bashing then I really feel bad for you. It's in the same vein of Date rape, and cancer jokes. The poorest possible taste. You can defend his snide comment all you want, it just shows your character. With all of your "retard" talk it's pretty obvious. Good luck with your soul, your going to need it.

Crow ? Crows are black. Are you trying to make some sort of RACIST remark ?

The U.S. economy WAS on fire under Bush, for 6 years. Until the Democrats took control of Congress. It's been all down hill since then.

On the main page it says:

Suddenly Palin's botched Kouric interview is... kind of retarded


That's odd.

Ingrained and unconscious slip of a common expression! And, actually, not by definition an incorrect one. The word 'retard' means, essentially, slow. When you're not fast enough to get somewhere on time, you're tardy. When a substance slows the progress of something like, say, fire, it's a retardant. When you're not thinking fast enough and you do something stupid? Well. Now I understand that the word has slipped under the vast umbrella of slang, but technically the term came into being because the mentally handicapped can be... a little slow. Not pretty, not PC, still true.

Well you can, but you'll just end up looking like a creep. I have actually pioneered a thread in the real world event discussions that isn't debatable.


I think a congratulations is in order.

President Obama has apologised for a remark he made about disabled athletes during his appearance on a late night talk show.

He compared his bowling technique to watching something from the Special Olympics.

But as soon as he was back on his plane home, Mr Obama telephoned the head of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver, to say sorry.
