President Obama gets a free pass on comment about his bowling and Special Olympics

First off, I have been a strong supporter of Barack Obama from when he first announced he was running for president...however, I was extremely disappointed in the comment that he made about his bowling being worthy of the Special Olympics when he appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday...

Obama is a savvy, smart person who should know better than to make a comment like that - even if it was meant to be funny...

The funny part is that the liberal media has downplayed this gaffe...where is the stand-up knight-in-shining armour - Keith Olbermann?...if former president George W. Bush made that comment, Olbermann would have been on his high horse drilling Bush as this stupid, inconsiderate moron who is out-of-touch with the plight of the weak and poor...Bush undoubtedly would have made Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World"...

But this came out of the mouth of a Democratic president...so the mainstream media briefly mentioned it during their newscast and now it is forgotten...

Honestly, I think what Obama said is worse than when Don Imus called the Rutgers women's basketball team "a bunch of nappy headed ho's"...

Obama should be held to a higher standard than just some talk show wonk, so therefore, he should have been grilled on this more than he has...imagine if a white person would have made a derogatory remark that was meant to be funny about an African-American, Jew, or Hispanic...the world would have came to an end for that person...

I know Obama did not mean for his comment to be hurtful, but the fact remains, it was...he got his free pass...the next time he makes a stupid comment the liberal media should grill him just as they did the former president for his numerous blunders...
