Jay Leno Wins on Tonight Show, But Obama and His Special Olympics Joke Flop
Reader Comments
Was there Really An Audience?
I got to thinking, I watched the show. And not once was the audience shown. Which is unusual for a Jay Leno show. I am thinking there was no audience. Otherwise how could they have screened everyone for security reasons? So the laughter was canned?
Obama/Leno
Hey CB, YOU work for YOUR president, I didn't vote for this token African American! Stop waving the flag, this nation is now the Divided States of America, and will suffer mightily for the Democrats spending ways. Spend our way out of recession, what a joke! Just like those nice folks at the credit card company who tell you that the more you spend, the more you save. This inexperienced fool has surrounded himself with political hacks and people who drop out of the nomination race even before they're confirmed by our spineless Congress. We survived Carter, let's hope that we can survive this mess. But please keep your Pollyanna comments to yourself, this is a serious situation here, not a shortage of milk and cookies.
Lighten up...are you kidding?
United We Stand, does this mean everyone but the Special Olympic Athlete's? I can assure you, I will remember this next week! Maybe the next election everyone will vote for a great President not someone based on race so they can help make history! Obama is someone who claims to be a minority...I'm pretty sure there are less Special Olympic Athlete's than there are African Americans! Obama claims to have had such a hard life because he is black....this clown is clueless when it comes to daily challenges! This guy is clueless when it comes to the obstacles these Athelete's go through everyday...they put up with enough crap...they don't need the President encouraging the world to look down on them! I'm pretty sure any of these athletes could do a much better job as President of the United States than Obama!
Lighten Up
It is OK to laugh! Do we have to pick on every word the President said?
I like the fact that we have knowledge now of what is going on in our government….for better or worse.
A famous statesman said “United we stand, dived we fall”. Let’s work together to bring our country through this difficult time.
CB
diminished the office of the president
Didn't Bush go Deal or No Deal?
I ate a piece of chicken last night like a black person.....
Pretty sure I would get hung for saying that, so what's the difference? I have a 14 year old Special Olympic Athlete at home, my husband is the State Sports Director for Special Olympics Golf, I am a Golf Coach, and I find this very offensive. Well at least we now know how he really feels! First black president, the country has come so far, that's nothing but a bunch of crap! The country has come so far that it's ok to be racist or stereotype a group or a person as long as they are not black! This clown is supposed to be running the country! Nice job Obama! I wish people would stop making excuses for him. By the way, appologizing to the Head of Special Olympics, I'm pretty sure that's not who he owes the appology to! "I will let some of these athletes bowl at the white house and that will make everything better"! How about becoming a volunteer, Jerk!
Scripture And Barack Obama
I would like to reiterate passages from the Bible.
First... Honor your leaders - Romans Chapter 13 verse 1.
"Everyone must submit themselves to the governing authorities, for there is no auhority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God" (Romans 13:1). The Apostle Paul, in the Bible, is writing that we must submit ourselves to governmental leaders, because they have been established by God Almighty.
Second... Pray for Obama. Honor him. (I Timothy 2:1-2.)
God Almighty has put government leaders in power. God has directed you to pray for Barack Obama and honor him (Romans 13:1, I Timothy 2:1-2 and I Peter 2:17).
And again... The authorities that exist have been established by God (Romans 13:1).
As to the military. I do not see any flux of military leaders in our Army, Navy, Air Force, nor Marines, dishonor Barack Obama. He is their Commander-in-Chief. Follow their example, and recognize him as Commander-in-Chief. Once again, I say: pray for him.
Thank you.
Keep him in Hollywood and out of the White House
This is simply the Obama 1/2 of the country knew he was. Take away teleprompters and the adoring media that put him in office (along with taking away some expensive fancy suits) and what we have is the TRUTH...an experienced, far left, clueless, typical slick politician from corrupt Chicago politics. The only "change" we shall get is the stuff that will bury our children and their children in debt for decades. And the nationalization of banks, etc, will bury all of us. Politicians can't handle themselves, much less handle the markets, healthcare, etc. How stupid we were in November and how dumb shall we continue to be. Obama should be on Leno and Letterman...just NOT in the Oval Office. Bush was not very good, but O makes W look like a brain surgeon!
Hurray for "Pigs Led to Slaughter" and "Get Back on Track"
Thank you "Pigs Led to Slaughter" and "Get Back on Track" for the honesty and stark reality in your comments. It's about time we get our heads out of the sand and face up to this fantasy president that the Dem's and phony media types have been feeding us. (btw - I'm a democrat) While I didn't vote for Obama I was certainly willing to accept him as my president and had high hopes he could make a difference, on many levels. Yet here we have another blunder from him, first in his choices of high-ranking coherts, and again in his words. (remember "white mans greed runs a world in need" comment?) Obama appearing on Jay Leno does not make the common citizen relate to him better. As president, he has more important things to concentrate on for us all.
While I don't believe his intention was to slam the Special Olympics, it was, nonetheless, a thoughtless comment from a bi-racial man who claims to understand the hurt caused by stupid and senseless words from others. It appears his true colors are beginning to show.
I also find it ironic that when our (half black) president makes an inappropriate comment (no matter how innocent it may be) clearly targeting a specific group of people, the phony media types and blinded citizens are so quick to dismiss it and so willing to give him a break. He is supposed to be an incredibly intelligent idividual on multiple levels - that is why he is president, right? But, let anyone else (whites) make a remotely off-handed comment or joke about a specific group of people (blacks) and it suddenly becomes a national crisis, is all over the media, the Sharpton jack-a$$ jumps on the wagon and the idiots who blindly follow him, and society as a whole should apologize for the decades of slavery, etc. What a double-standard that is!!! Remember the recent comic strip in a popular newspaper that drew so much attention and demanded someone's head on a platter??? That comic was slamming a group of politicians who, by the way, are mostly white! Yet there was so much debate and analyzing about the hidden meaning and the black community was outraged. I wonder if the black community is outraged by Obama slamming the disabled?
Our president didn't run for office... he is a puppet and there are other powers who catapulted/manufactured him to gain votes from the masses - and it worked. History will show us this. Unfortunately, they forgot to connect the string that controls his mouth.
obama on LENO
#1. he shouldve been on Letterman not LENO.
#2. no one will even remember what he said and didnt say in a week, because by then, there will be something BETTER to YAP about at the water cooler, people forget/are distracted really quickly, kind of like happy puppy dogs.
