This morning, 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. [audio available here]
Obama was doing quite well at staying on message, when he made the following comment in reaction to Jay Leno's question about his infamous lack of bowling ability:
JAY LENO: I imagine the bowling alley has been burned and closed down.
President BARACK OBAMA: No, I've been practicing.
LENO: Really?
OBAMA: I bowled a 129. I had –
LENO: Oh, no, that's very good. Yeah. That's very good, Mr. President.
OBAMA: This is sort of like Special Olympics or something.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
ALEX WITT: Now as nothing goes unescaped when it comes to the President. He did talk about the Special Olympics. Some people took that as an offensive remark. However, this morning on a radio show, the director of the Special Olympics for the state of Illinois, a man by the name of Doug Snyder, talked about that. And he thinks he knows where all this came from, because he remembers a couple years back introducing the President to a little girl named Caitlyn, who showed the President how to bowl, and did a darn better job of doing it at the time than the President was able to do it. He thinks Caitlyn is actually perhaps the inspiration for the President deciding to be a bit better as a bowler.It is a rather wide practice for the media to hide their favored politicians behind children. Think, for instance, of the school voucher debate. Those people who favored vouchers were portrayed as being “against better education for our children.” In this, Witt is attempting to hide the President's flippant and insulting remark behind a silver-lined cloud of compassion. Not even the White House is so silly as to think that the President's remarks were anything but flippant and offensive - as evidenced by the immediate phone call to the President and CEO of the Special Olympics apologizing for the comments, and the near-instantaneous press release.
In her zeal to cover the President's gaffe, Alex Witt has shown her true colors - just another liberal media apologist, deep in the tank for Obama.

"The top bowler for the Special Olympics looks forward to meeting President Barack Obama in an alley." - OK, that had me rolling on the floor..."He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily," Michigan's Kolan McConiughey (KO-lahn Mc-KAHNA-he) told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.
The athletic-minded president made an offhand remark Thursday on "The Tonight Show" comparing his weak bowling to "the Special Olympics or something."

Narcissists Like Obama Often Lack Empathy...
March 20, 2009 - 12:16 ET by Reaganite RepublicanAnd who is surprised by this gauche and downright cruel comment? No different than his classless cheap-shot on 90-yr-old Nancy Reagan in his first presser. Trouble is that the REAL Barack tends to leak-out when he's not hard-wired to a TelePrompTer-
Narcissists are often callous- and even ruthless. They tend to lack empathy and/or a conscience. This is evident in Obama's lack of interest in his own half-brother who lives in poverty in Kenya, or his aunt found living in public housing in Boston. Obama's almost certainly a pathological narcissist... the most dangerous charismatic leaders are, comes from an insecure childhood (like Barack's).
Indicators include control freakery, grandiose self-importance, feeling "above the law", interpersonally exploitive, inability to handle criticism, lack of empathy, arrogant behavior, surrounds himself with sycophants... sound familiar?
Obama is a mess- and his insecurities, bad childhood, and irresponsible, far-left-wierdo mother are now all OUR problem, too-

March 20, 2009 - 12:18 ET by Gat New YorkWhen you take a person who, even at the age of 48 years old, is immature and inexperienced and place them in a position of responsibility you should not be surprised by the sophomoric behavior that takes place.
His NCAA Bracket stunt was called out by the USA Basketball Team Head Coach advising him to stick to running the government.
He is constantly on the road in town hall meetings and teleprompter speeches when he should be in his office managing this economic crisis.
He finds time to go to Hollywood and appear with a late night talk show host bragging about his life in the White House and how cool it is.
But he crossed the line with his crack about Special Olympics.
He won't resign but his behavior should not be tolerated or excused.

Unnecessary and hurtful...
March 20, 2009 - 12:31 ET by Georgia GirlI have a son with autism, and it is just that kind of offhanded, unnecessary comment that hurts. It's the parents of kids with special needs who will likely feel the sting; we realize that nobody would say something like that if they had any personal experience (or a natural compassion) about a very emotional and difficult journey -- raising a child you love so much who has special needs.
I'm no fan of Obama's, but I was honestly surprised he would say something like that. Apparently he was in "I'm so cool" mode. It's not funny. It's just another indicator of his self-absorbed personality. To borrow a phrase from Jennifer Aniston, I guess there's a "sensitivity chip missing."
Sad, and very uncool.

March 20, 2009 - 15:21 ET by NorthCoasterI thought the same thing when I heard about the comment. I was so thrilled about Sarah Palin when she said that we would have an advocate for special needs cildren in Washington if she were elected. Her knowledge of energy economics won my head but special needs won my heart. My son has ADD and does reasonably well but we know a number of friends with autism, downs syndrome and cereberal palsy that struggle mightily.

March 20, 2009 - 14:08 ET by justathotThe difference is, President Bush was making fun of himself (not finding WMD which was a major reason for invading Iraq) with "self deprecating humor" ....making fun of himself at his own expense. Obama was making fun of himself by comparing his abilities to the handicapped....making fun of himself at their expense.
I challenge you to name a President that was or is more respected and loved by our military. A picture (video) is worth a thousand words.

March 20, 2009 - 14:08 ET by GeneralAlMr Goldbar! President Bush was not poking fun of the troops whowere killed or who were fighting! He was poking fun of the press for their constant obsession with the WMD! As an ex military man, I can tell you that the troops caught the meaning of the joke and were not offended! They were honored to Know that their Commander-in-Chief was pulling for them! president obama's comment last night was an outright in your face you bunch of losers slap in the face to all special needs people. Its probably "Above his pay grade", but people who live in glass houses should't throw stones! We have all had to walk on eggshells when talking about because every negative comment is misconstrued by you lefty Commies as racist! Well, your Teleprompter Messiah has shown what a hipocrite he is!

I hope he fails, too.

Anyone with any decency at all would do neither. You are the ones who care nothing for the military families and their losses and your actions prove it. Typical liberal. You loathe and despise the military but will exploit the very ones you're claiming sympathy for to take a cheap shot at President Bush.

March 20, 2009 - 14:08 ET by choselife3xIf there is I haven't found it! I go to the Track option on my bio page. It will tell you how many new comments have been made on a thread since you commented on it. If there are any new comments then there is a link to take you there.

March 20, 2009 - 14:30 ET by justathotThanks for that tip.....didn't know that.
Another way is go to main page of the thread and check for "new comments" at bottom. If it says for example "3 new comments" and you read them, when you check next time those 3 will have become part of the whole. So each time you check "new comments" they are new as of your last access to the page. (I hope that is understandable) Some like me might be pretty clueless as to how this all works. It took me a while to figure it out. Duhhhhhh.
I wish there was a way to check on comments to your own posts only, but its seems you must check all new comments to find any that are for you. Or am I missing something ? Anyone?
BTW, what happened to bhuggins aka guttermouth? Is she back under the bridge? Your tagline is heel-arious. hahaha

As for the banning, if you click on his name in one of his posts you'll get a 'cannot display page'. That means the account is no longer valid. :-)

For what it's worth, I don't get a "girl" vibe from Guttermouth either. I always assumed Guttermouth was male.
certain trolls not posting
March 20, 2009 - 18:12 ET by SickofLibsYou have to understand that certain trolls (say like Goldbar) go into what as known as IHS (Involuntary Hibernation State), whereby the miniscule area of the brain responsible for what we normal humans call 'conscience' short circuits the surrounding synapses, resulting in a coma-like state where the only sentient act the individual remains capable of is turning on the TV and watching "Countdown" at 8 pm. They remain incapable of blog posting during this hibernation period.
They MAY awaken briefly during other times to visit the local convenience store to purchase lottery tickets and/or Doritos, but otherwise remain dormant until the short circuit episode subsides.

When Mr. Obama and his crowd have the audacity to claim racism regarding the least bit of criticism leveled his way and he outright insults those with special needs, he is a low down hipocrite! Obviously, he doesn't care for people with special needs! He doesn't care for the military either but he certainly cares for basketball. For me this is the last straw. I think this man and his woman are full of hate! He and his faithful companion No-Joe Biden, have been constantly offending people and getting by with it. From here on out, I despise this man! Before it was just his politics! Now I can't stand him as well! Hes a spolied brat with an eloquent manner of speaking as long as the teleprompter is on! He is definitely not my President!

My son has autism, and I hear ya. I left a few postings today on how it hit me -- hard. But it has been even harder to read about how all the other great parents out there were also hurt by Obama's total insensitivity. It hurt even more, just hearing the stories and feeling the pain again and again. Wonderful people, like yourself, who do not deserve this type of glib comment...it's just a real statement on who this man is. It's pathetic.
Some things are just not right. I'm convinced Obama is so much more dangerous in office than anybody could have imagined. I pray that this guy is out of office in 2012. It will not be a minute too soon.

You about gave me a heart attack. "Dancing with the Stars" has been about the ONLY place I've been able to get away from Obama. On the other hand, if he was on "The Apprentice," he'd be fired for sure.
