So he finally stuck his foot in his big mouth. What do you think the backlash will be if any?

None at all. Most of the media won't even report it.

I wonder what it cost the American tax payer for him to appear on the Tonight Show. Probably as much as a AIG bonus

One of my co-workers, who is a big Obama supporter, is trying to tell me that Obama meant it as a compliment to the Special Olympics and not as making fun of them. He has drank a LOT of kool-aid appearantly.....

I'm no Obama fan, but I didn't think it was so bad.
IMHO, only people looking to bash him will make a stink out of it. I.E. Fox NewsIf you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

so if Bush had used airfarce 1 to fly to hollywood, went of the lateshow, cracked special olympics jokes and used his mathmatical skills to make a college basketball pool while the economy was in the sh!tter how many people would be freaking out????
I am really thinking he never had or currently has any interest in actually being president, it was just the job he thought would make his name as popular and marketable as possible. if you really think about it, he has a press secretary and speech writers to write everything he has to say, he has advisers to make all the decisions, he has a secratary of state to handle all the foriegn affairs, the house and senate to handle all the legislation, a team of chefs to cook for him, maid service to make his bed and pick up after him, a travel staff and his own 747 to get him around without thought... what exactly is it that he does besides tv appearances and play basketball??P-4077 "The Swamp" S.B.Y.C. and Michigan medboat mothership

WLS in Chicago was all over it this morning on the Don and Roma show and now on the Mancow show. They're doing their part to not let him get off scott free.

It wasn't that bad, but if it was anyone else, they'd be strung up for it.
