It was in incredibly poor taste, had Bush said something similar than it woulda been plastered on every news channel for days. I mean honestly some people I talked to claim "Oh, it was just him making fun of himself, not the disabled."
Now put it into this perspective, let's say I got caught stealing something, I don't even have to be President, lets say I'm working at an office as a low level employee. I accidently take something thats someone elses, say, a pop from a freezer. I follow it up with "Well, you would swear I was a member of the NAACP, huh" Yeah, laughs and all, now a black man hears that he may be offended.
No Barack goes on and "self-deprecates", comparing himself to people in Special Olympics. Listen, Barack, just because they're disabled doesn't mean they're not human. And my comparison, I was a low level employee showing low-class, he's leader of the free world, joking around about people who in some classes who can't even defend themselves. Wow, what a man!!! Honestly I want to see someone try to counter this, I'm curious to see what horrid excuses can be made...
