Insert Foot

Once again our president inserts his foot in his mouth. I hope it tastes good because it seems like he makes stupid remarks quite often. The latest is his remark on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, about his bowling score being like something from the Special Olympics.
As someone who has spent a huge part of her life working with special needs individuals, I find this offensive. I don't think it is funny or a joke. It is comparing his bad bowling score with people who have disabilities being in the Special Olympics.
In my opinion this whole episode just goes to show that a Harvard education doesn't make a person intelligent.....book knowledge has nothing on true wisdom.

  1. What gets me the most is that Bush would never have gotten off as easily as Obama is on this one. They'd have tarred and feathered the man by now.

    sigh.
