A step nephew of mine is disabled with MS and has been in a wheelchair since birth. I am sure that Obama wasn't thinking (big surprise) when he made that comment. My point in all this is that had G. Bush made that comment, I believe there would have been demanded a public apology by him. Then he would have been branded a moron for making such an insensitive remark. Where is the left to criticize this buffoonish remark, and where is the "Public" Apology? Richard
Richard, I don't have to ask what if Bush or Sarah Palin had made that remark. We all know the double standard. BO is going to get a pass on this. I disagree with you though that Obabma was not thinking when he said that. He WAS thinking, that is the way he thinks.
You know as well as I do, that when your eyes don't work, or your ears don't work, or your legs don't work, or your brain doesn't quite work, that you spend your entire life trying to be accepted in society as a "normal" person. It ain't easy. My wife has spent the past five decades trying to be accepted in society. I'm damn proud of her. She was mainstreamed in public school, got her four year degree in college, and now, being totally blind, works in a warehouse pulling 300-600 orders a day for their customers. Sorry out there if I sound a little pissed about all this, because I am. Now my wife and I can laugh at ourselves as much as anyone else, but Barak Hussein Obama is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DAMN IT. What he said hit me and my family below the belt.
