And there was the Comment. It was said while everybody was laughing at a previous joke

[MadBadger]

Everybody in the crowd probably missed it.

[Hissyspit]

1. It sounded to me like he was comparing his SCORE to Special Olympics scores.

What a nothing controversy.

On to the next thing.

[justgamma]

8. That's not the way I saw it.

I think he was talking about Jay applauding a low score.

[Hissyspit]

10. Yes, you're right, and again, a nothing controversy. Obama did a great appearance

and said things Americans needed to hear.

[ginnyinWI]

14. that's what I heard, too.

He felt like Leno was BS-ing him.

[NYC Liberal]

17. Yep. Jay talked to him like some people talk to those who are mentally handicapped

And Obama said "It's like the Special Olympics here." Poking fun at Leno for talking to him that way.

16. That's how I took it when Keith described it

I haven't seen it firsthand yet. Hadn't even considered the other interpretation, but will have a better take after I see it for myself.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

2. If this picture is to the others, then he's

talking about his husband.

[B o d i]

3. Much ado about nothing

F'n concern trolls :eyes:

[Pirate Smile]

4. You could hardly hear it.

[ShortnFiery]

5. Shit! What are we up to now? 20? 30?

:crazy:

[Hissyspit]

12. No this is different. This is the first thread to actually have seen the interview.

[MadBadger]

13. As the above poster said, this is in response to actually seeing the clip on Leno

[Jennicut]

6. It was barely even a comment. So stupid. He did great on Leno.

[flvegan]

7. Maybe NOW Congress will impeach somebody.

See, now that's a joke on so many levels.

[ColbertWatcher]

9. Winner! n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. I'd heard about "the comment" and made a point of watching

just for first witness sake. I sure didn't see a problem or a slight in any way. :shrug: Critics are going to attack anything and everything just to see if they can kill him by a thousand cuts. I'm surprised they haven't slammed him for being left-handed.

[Tutankhamun]

15. It's all about the bar.

Low bar for special olympians plus high bar for democratic/African-American president equals manufactured outrage-provoking incident.

Watch as the post-Bush bar rockets skyward!

[Kaleko]

18. I missed it because it was drowned out by laughter.

And even if it had been clearly audible, what's THE PROBLEM, folks?

[aikoaiko]

19. Sarcasm, even self-deprecating sarcasm hardly evey work when you hold a position of authority.

At least that my experience when I try to use sarcasm in the classroom. Even if a majority "gets it" there is always someone who gets offended.

[brettdale]

20. Faux news

Has this as its main story and are going to town on their webpage.

[durablend]

21. Should've seen it coming...

Sorry Barry, you gave it a good try. Now it's time to do the right thing and resign.

:sarcasm:
