Obama and Palin on the Special Olympics

Rush Limbaugh plays back-to-back (audio) clips of Barack Obama and Sarah Palin comments regarding the Special Olympics side by side. There is quite a distinct difference between the way they think about this program. While Barry Obama knocks the Special Olympics with his stupid comment to Jay Leno, Sarah Palin has been helping out with a fantastic video about the Special Olympics and what it means to her and her family and anyone with a special needs child. You can see the video below, or click here to see it on youtube.com: You can see both videos of Barry and Sarah at this link. digg story ~ Submitted by Indyanna

Obama’s “Special Olympics” joke: Teleprompter made him do it - By Michelle Malkin

Jake Tapper reports that Barack Obama pulled a Joe Biden (or a Barack Obama, for that matter) and ended up mocking the Special Olympics in a lame attempt to make fun of his weak bowling skills. But of course, the White House says he “in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics.” You be the judge. [read more] digg story

MSNBC Covers For Obama With New 'Special Olympics' Theory

newsbusters.org ~ MSNBC’s Alex Witt was in full damage control mode, working whatever apologist explanations she could find into her reluctant coverage of last night's teleprompter-free “Tonight Show” appearance by the president.

Special Olympics Bowler Calls Out Obama

From ButAsForMe:

Obama the Insensitive: Makes a Joke on Leno at the Expense of the Special Olympics — Sarah Palin and Maria Shriver Blasta Obama — Does America Have Separate Rules for Race, Class, Gender and Another for Disability (Mental or Physical)?

To give you a taste of the excellent work by ButAsForMe on this matter, please allow me to show you a couple of the videos that were included in that post. First, there is the disgusting and degrading "humor" of Barack Obama as witnessed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno:

And then, there was this part, my favorite. To quote ButAsForMe once again:

During the campaign for the White House in 2008, the media criticized Palin for being ‘vulgar,’ ‘raw’ and ‘not presidential.’ However, compare Sarah Palins attitude in this video created three weeks ago for the Special Olympics in Boise, Idaho. You decide the more ‘presidential’ among them.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday criticized President Barack Obama’s gaffe about the Special Olympics, calling his off-handed remark on the Tonight Show “degrading,” especially since it was “coming from the most powerful position in the world.” “These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will,” Palin said in a statement released Friday. “By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”

Well, after what he said to Jay Leno, do you wonder what Obama would think about Sarah Palin allowing a child to be born with special needs? With his views on abortion, I have to wonder how far he would go when it comes to eugenics. Hey, I'm just sayin'....
