Wait, wait, wait... let me see if I got this straight...

[Hanse]

Obama makes a self-deprecating joke involving the special olympics indirectly...

And freepers, PUMAs, and all sorts of assorted anti-Obama morons, imbeciles, and pinheads have a blow out over it?

4. Good point... And from that site:

The Agenda: Disabilities

DISABILITIES
"We must build a world free of unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination.... policies must be developed, attitudes must be shaped, and buildings and organizations must be designed to ensure that everyone has a chance to get the education they need and live independently as full citizens in their communities."

-- Barack Obama, April 11, 2008

Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a comprehensive agenda to empower individuals with disabilities in order to equalize opportunities for all Americans.

5. Come on share in the victimization... you feel violated by the bad mans joke don't you?

Perhaps we can spend tomorrow in a cathartic discussion, burning copies of Tropic Thunder, and penning outraged semi-literate posts to our favorite web sites

Oh and we can have an online petition.

7. Not to mention devoted DUers.

Frankly I was more offended by the President of the United States being shushed so that commercials can be be shown--3 times -- while he was talking. I think commercials should have been shunted to the end of his appearance out of respect .

8. Poll at HuffPo indicates it's a nothing, people should get over it....n/t

[bobburgster]

9. Have not seen poll, but....

it doesn't surprise me. The average citizen is thinking...job?, job security?, health costs?, etc.

The 24 hr news cycle is thinking...what trivial shit might bump our ratings?, what repeated news 'crisis' can get us through the day?, etc.
