This is absolutely offensive and cannot be condoned. The words you say are very important, and we can't have a wacko like this running around. Obama should be impeached!
Repulsive. If George Bush had made such a horrendously in-poor-taste "joke," he would have been vilified, and rightly so. But Obama gets another pass from the media who put him into office.
As for his "enough is enough" comment about people understanding "that their actions are going to have an impact on everybody," that's code for further socialism, with the government making sure every single aspect of our lives fits their litmus test of "good behavior" -- right down to them determining whether or not a bonus is "fair" or not. Say goodbye to capitalism as we know it, America. And blame the liberal Democrats and clueless independents who put this disaster into office.
Its interesting to watch him these first few months because he is quickly going to learn he cant open his mouth without offending someone or something.But then again its just the speds and tards this time so no big deal.They can just invite a few trainables to the white house and use them as bowling pins
#1 Ah yes, he's comes the built in excuses to protect the name of the golden calf. if Bush would have said this he would have been burned at the stake. Haha, and I'm glad IDLYITW is not like every other liberal commie gossip blog.
It's hilarious that people think Obama is a socialist. Pick up a @#@king book once in a while... this guy is the furthest thing from a socialist. When you refer to him as a socialist or his policies as socialist you just expose yourself as an ignorant, Fox News apologist.
Surprise, surprise - a hypocritical liberal exposes his true colors. Obama is a dick for saying that. The retarded participants in the special Olympics are trying to do something with their lives; they don't need to be shit on by Comrad Obama.
The truth is if it was Bush who said this 4 years ago there would have been outrage and chaos on every liberal media news channel, newspaper, website. It would have been the main story on CNN and MSNBC all day today, it would have been front page on the New York Times, Huffington Post and all the other liberal websites would have posted about it every 10 minutes.
Did Jay ask about the taxpayer funded stimulus billions that went to foreign banks without telling us. Did Jay submit all questions for approval like he does to journalists and the picks only waht he wants his teleprompter to answer. His very funny teleprompter has it's OWN BLOG.
I love this blog! Glad Todd is man enough to call it like it is! Obama was being a dick, and he knows it, which is why he apologized. Deal with it, Democrats, your new leader really is the Black Bush.
How are people saying the media is giving him a pass on this? It is ALL OVER the media. Also, republicans like Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh's responses when called out for being insensitive is to scoff and say that oh, we can't joke about ANYTHING because the world is too over-sensitive. Laura I. just made a comment like this about the fact that she called Meaghan McCain fat. At least Obama apologized for his hilarious joke.
wait a minute, I thought liberals were supposed to be the hypersensitive, PC babies? Get a grip everyone, it was hilarious. Can't you comment on his policies or something?
Oh please...Bush called a NYTimes reporter an asshole and Dick Cheney told someone to go fuck himself in the senate. While there was some outrage for the latter, no one even remembers the former. So to say Obama's only getting a pass b/c he's a democrat or black or whatever bullshit some of you are spewing is nothing short of a demonstration of selective memory.

Matt, thank god at least one person on this site has some sense. Over the past year I have come to realize that the majority of the people commenting here are complete morons, and that also applies to the authors. I think I may have to find a new site to fulfill my hankering for gossip.
you try being the parent of a special needs child, then hearing the president of the united states making a comment like that. it is an absolutely insensitive joke coming from a "world leader".
It wasn't funny coming from the president, the commander in chief. It might have been funny coming from Leno. Like #12 said. We should hold our president to a higher standard.
Think about how the families of these "retards" felt when their president belittled them.
#7, if you're going to tell everyone how ignorant they are, then at the very least state your case. For example, it would be a good start to define what socialism is, since you are the authority.

Go ask your professor what he thinks, then come back with his (your) answer.
There may be some democratic-republic elements out there for show, but socialist policies have been implemented in our system for years, highlighted by the progressive tax and eminent domain, as well as the fact that you don't really own your home--you merely rent it. Stop paying your property taxes and watch as they take the home you thought you owned, your supposed right to property.
Bush Jr. abused the shit out of tax dollars to further a social agenda inconsistent with capitalism.

izzalizza, why don't you enlighten us and elaborate? Go to thesuperficial if you want faggotry at its finest. You can bring up Palin for no reason at all and call all us conservatives dolts, minions, rubes etc. without making too many waves, you tool.
Other countries accept that their leaders are human and just roll their eyes at the occasional slip up (or filthy-sex affair, in the very lucky countries). They save their bullets for when the battle is real and involves direct consequences for the people governed. But not here. No, we've built a 24-hour monitoring system and political consultants have figured out how to use it to fight never-ending, trivial, tiniest-scale-possible battles that are always about campaigning and never about governing.
It was a bad slip, but in terms of feelings, not anything consequential. Obama won't go on talk shows again. Soon enough he'll pull back to carefully controlled public appearances, like all recent presidents. Hopefully he won't end up in an artificial dittohead bubble, like Bush did ("Things are going well!"), but who knows.
Fuckin' retards. You try to be nice to them and next thing you know you're covered in poo.
#33 He shouldn't have been Los Angeles joking around on the Leno show. He should be spending every waking moment of his day protecting this country from collapse. He should have been down at California's U.S./Mexico border instead and seeing for himself why we need to close it.
#27 Reporters and politicians get called assholes and are told to go fuck themselves every day and it's part of their jobs. Obama took a cheap shot at handicapped people.
"He shouldn't have been Los Angeles joking around on the Leno show. He should be spending every waking moment of his day protecting this country from collapse."
Mostly he's been criticized for trying to do way too much. Now apparently he's just goofing off. It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except the "just right" part is gone. The irony was that the last president to receive even-handed treatment was Reagan, and he literally WAS asleep in the middle of the day.
Amen #42....# 38 that youth force or militia is even scarier than the economy, they must be anticipating a total collapse, cause they are purposely spending us into the ground in order to impose socialism/marxism.
#35 I get a kick out of people who talk a good story seem to come out of the woodwork and blast the less uneducated,,i hope your not at work getting paid while your up on your soapbox spouting useless information.If your a government worker I'll haveyou fired,,but I guess your sitting home on the couch watching oprha and eating fried chicken or hot dogs..
#43, if people are arguing that our president should be held to a higher standard then YOUR argument fails. Those too were comments also made by our commanding chief and his dipshit deputy. The one by Bush was just blown off.
Not only that, but he wasn't making fun of handicapped people; he was making fun of himself by saying is bowling game is equivalent to that of a Special Olympics. So YOU fail.
Wrong. Bush and Cheney's comments were never blown off and every time they made remarks caught on tape or camera it was used as fodder everywhere, including Saturday Night Live when Tina Fey was head writer.
Obama was making fun of handicapped people and compared his bowling skills to the Special Olympics. He made a RETARD joke about RETARDS.
ummm #52..what I am talking about are people like you who feel the need to correct everything anyone says on here,,its free speech dumbass.We dont need lectures okay duh!!!!
The Special Olympics joke has been done to fucking death, so those that find it funny are faking that unless they have been under a rock their whole lives. I'd have laughed more if he said that Michelle wanted to take a vacation to a place she had never been before when they got to the White House so he showed her the kitchen, but alas, no sexist jokes yet, just retard ones.
Obama IS socialist. So is Bush. One is called a Liberal. The other is called a Compassionate Conservative. Same thing. BIG GOVERNMENT. small paycheck. Violated rights. Lots of lazy people collecting government handouts, on the backs of hardworking people. Bush+Obama=same thing
"this guy is the furthest thing from a socialist." Please kill yourself :(
I agree with 59, it wasn't even an imaginative joke. He was trying to impress Jay with a little insensitive humor, and show how laidback he is. Failureee. That shit doesn't fly if you're the president.
#66 there are way more handicapped people at the special olympics than non-handicapped people, so us normal folk get the close spots and the retarded people have to walk!
It's funny how I mistakenly thought that this was a site with a progressive, comedic edge. As soon as anything tangentially related to politics is posted, the entire right-wing apologist retard brigade shows up. Learn to spell and punctuate, you troglodytes.
#35 - Our country's political system is not a pure democracy, nor is it a pure republic. It does not practice capitalism exclusively, nor socialism.
This country practices what is known as a polyarchy; that is, it subscribes to a mix of political practices. We have never been a homogenous nation in terms of politics.
You'd know this if you have any concept of political science. But you don't, and as such you just sound like another blowhard with delusions of paranoia.
I like how people here will leave comments saying "if Bush would have said that... blah blah blah" all the while implying that Obama is getting some kind of free pass. It's convenient they seem to forget how Dick Cheney blew someone's face off with a shotgun. Look how that incident was swept away & brushed under the rug.
This country is failing as a result of being too weak in the knees and confused politically. #73:
There needs to be choosing of two sides, Democrat or Republican, because most voters are too busy at work to know the difference and confusing them with all the libertarian, green party, blue party, does not help anyone except Obama. He won because all voters were too busy and poor to know the difference.
A recent poll on FoxNews found that 84% of the of the people on the internet are retards. It's no wonder that many posting are offended. Bunch of retards.
#20 The banks that owe huge amounts of money to foreign banks are obligated to pay it back. If they do not pay foreign creditors, foreign banks will stop doing business with, or (even worse) foreign banks that owe US banks money will also default, putting even more strain on the US banking system. Billions of dollars of taxpayers' money will flow to overseas banks for the simple reason that the bailed out banks owe them money.
More importantly, foreign banks that get paid back owed money will be able to use that money to by US treasury bills, so that the US can float Obama's proposed deficit without running the presses and causing inflation.
#54 The President seriously insulted special olympians by implying that his score of 37 would make the cut for a world-level competition
These are some of the funniest comments I've ever read! I'm glad to see I'm not the only 1 who feels like Obama was basically elected thanks to the liberal media. Ever notice how Obama would ALWAYS be glorified in every way, while McCain (a friggin POW) was vilified...even down to how they would have these really nice, big photos of Obama and really crappy little photos of McCain. It's like they were trying to market a Big Mac or something.
75: "#35 - Our country's political system is not a pure democracy, nor is it a pure republic. It does not practice capitalism exclusively, nor socialism.

WOW, REALLY? YOU NEEDED A POLITICAL SCIENCE DEGREE TO HELP YOU DECIPHER THAT A REALISTIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER MATCH ANY KIND OF IDEOLOGY 100%. SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME DELUSIONS OF YOUR OWN... VAST OVERESTIMATE OF ONE'S INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY PERHAPS?
Please explain Socialism to the people who have no idea what it is. Go ahead, we're listening......................."
I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU LIBTARDS RIGHT NOW. SOCIALISM IS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF YOUR PAYCHECK GOES TO TAXES FOR GOVERNMENT WELFARE PROGRAMS FOR POOR AKA LAZY PEOPLE. IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE, SO THE POOR WELFARE QUEENS CAN GET TREATED FOR HEART ATTACKS FROM EATING MCDONALD'S ALL DAY AT YOUR EXPENSE. IT'S WHEN YOU ARE FORCED TO MOVE TO A CITY BECAUSE OWNING A CAR BECOMES UNREASONABLE DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND GAS TAXES. IT'S WHEN YOU ARE PERSECUTED FOR THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND ARMS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GUARANTEED BY OUR CONSTITUTION. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS THE VISION THAT EURO-BANKER-PUPPET OBAMA HAS FOR AMERICA.
For those of you complaining about socialism in America, here's an idea: why not just grab your passport and get the fuck out? Go live in a "small government" country, where you can pay zero taxes and own all the guns you want. I hear Somalia is nice. Home school your kids, dig a latrine, defend your home (for real, this time) practice the barter system, and most importantly: maybe shut the fuck up for a while.
I will do whatever Obama says including making fun of retards. Thank you oh glorious communist leader - I will proudly join your communist youth brigage and help you eliminate the weak, including retards, from our ranks.
Bush made a joke about Manny Ramierz's Grandma dying. When Manny couldn't make it to the White House with the Red Sox to meet Bush, Bush said "maybe his Grandma died again" b/c Manny missed another meeting after the passing of his Grandma.
People say stupid shit they regret, don't lie to yourself and say you haven't. He apologized, move the fuck on.
So all the Obama haters finally found something to pick on him about. He made a funny remark to poke fun at his bowling skills. So OMG impeach him. Yeah, so he couldn't win the special olympics with his bowling score but he is improving. I would point out that many of the comments I read here are far more offensive than what Obama said. Just count the word "retard" in the first 94 comments and tell me that you guys are somehow any better. I love how you call the black man a biggot and the leader of the free world a communist. Yeah you guys are quite impressive with your political correctness. And you miss Bush? Really? You must be a comedian, all the other comedians miss him too. Well he wrote a book for you. I can't wait for my copy. Maybe he will explain how he managed to let the country get so screwed up. Another four years of his hands off form of leadership and we could be all the way to the septic tank instead of just going down the drain. Personally, I hope Obama does Letterman next just to piss off all the ding dongs. Oops, sorry if I offended the snack cake industry.
One might appreciate Mr. Obama's likening his quasi-pinnacular skills to those of a mentally challenged individual as insightful and literal thoughts expressed verbally before a nation of demagogues.
Doncha love how people think that he actually means the apology and should be forgiven? He's a self-righteous jackass who'll whine forever about how people discriminate boohoo, but shows a total lack of empathy by joking about the handicapped. So typical.
What next? Does he also have to mock gays to get some people to hate him? Asians? Latinos? How about announcing that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world?
They should've elected Bill Clinton again. Sure he was a hypocritical jerkoff too, but at least he was smart enough to not do this shit. He wouldn't have said that the economy collapsing was a "great opportunity" either! He was too smart for that!
Obama's clearly got the IQ and social skills of a goat. I can't believe we went from one dickbrained moron to the next, and the only difference is the extremism they embrace and the color of their skin. Goodbye, America.
#22, what do you mean 'your new leader'. If you're American then he's your new leader to and he's going to be around for another 4 years so I guess you all have to deal with it.
Doesn't everyone say or laugh at tasteless stuff like this? - sure. Is everyone the leader of the free world yukking it up on national TV. NO. Stay in Washington & do some fucking work, appoint somebody to your cabinet who pay their taxes and can stay in the job longer than 15 minutes without resigning & stop shooting the shit with movie stars & pop singers every 5 minutes.By the time this asshole is done in 4 years the office of the presidency will mean nothing and America will be 1 gigantic ghetto.
#35, you're right that nationalizing banks is socialism but that's not what this country has done. What we have done (started under Bush and continues under Obama) is nationalize the losses the banks suffer but the profits are still privatized. And under your rationale, the tax system in this country is a form of socialism eventhough every president (and every presidential candidate except for Steve Forbes) has done nothing to change it and therefore all of the presidents are socialists. The tax system now in place has always been this way (with a difference of only a couple % points.
i think all this shit is funny. I pulled some great one-liners off of here. thanks! i think retards are funny - i think making fun of retards is funny - and i think its great that our leader humbled himself to the lowly ranks of a retard. fucking brilliant. Maybe the right wing anti-masturbaters cried all night because he said "special olympian" (and we know he meant retard) - but in the northeast, it's commonplace to use that word everday. People up here where the world moves a bit faster and the people tend to be a bit smarter and not so naive and retarded about the world, have no problem with using the word RETARD.
How come no one is complaining about fire retards?
You know Obama said fuck it, my kids ain't retarded i can poke fun a bit.
Retards aren't good at bowling because they always slip on the drool.
yeh right, this fucker goes from bowling a 37 in front of people who can verify his performance to bowling a 129 at his new pad. what a fucking liar! he must be really, really horrible with numbers since his budget projections are way off and it will be a fuckup of major proportions simply a liar and a snob.

No, we've built a 24-hour monitoring system and political consultants have figured out how to use it to fight never-ending, trivial, tiniest-scale-possible battles that are always about campaigning and never about governing.
It was a bad slip, but in terms of feelings, not anything consequential. Obama won't go on talk shows again. Soon enough he'll pull back to carefully controlled public appearances, like all recent presidents. Hopefully he won't end up in an artificial dittohead bubble, like Bush did ("Things are going well!"), but who knows.
Fuckin' retards. You try to be nice to them and next thing you know you're covered in poo.

Mostly he's been criticized for trying to do way too much. Now apparently he's just goofing off. It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except the "just right" part is gone. The irony was that the last president to receive even-handed treatment was Reagan, and he literally WAS asleep in the middle of the day.

Not only that, but he wasn't making fun of handicapped people; he was making fun of himself by saying is bowling game is equivalent to that of a Special Olympics. So YOU fail.

Obama was making fun of handicapped people and compared his bowling skills to the Special Olympics. He made a RETARD joke about RETARDS.

The Special Olympics joke has been done to fucking death, so those that find it funny are faking that unless they have been under a rock their whole lives. I'd have laughed more if he said that Michelle wanted to take a vacation to a place she had never been before when they got to the White House so he showed her the kitchen, but alas, no sexist jokes yet, just retard ones.

#35 - Our country's political system is not a pure democracy, nor is it a pure republic. It does not practice capitalism exclusively, nor socialism.
This country practices what is known as a polyarchy; that is, it subscribes to a mix of political practices. We have never been a homogenous nation in terms of politics.

I like how people here will leave comments saying "if Bush would have said that... blah blah blah" all the while implying that Obama is getting some kind of free pass.

#20 The banks that owe huge amounts of money to foreign banks are obligated to pay it back. If they do not pay foreign creditors, foreign banks will stop doing business with, or (even worse) foreign banks that owe US banks money will also default, putting even more strain on the US banking system. Billions of dollars of taxpayers' money will flow to overseas banks for the simple reason that the bailed out banks owe them money.
More importantly, foreign banks that get paid back owed money will be able to use that money to by US treasury bills, so that the US can float Obama's proposed deficit without running the presses and causing inflation.
#54 The President seriously insulted special olympians by implying that his score of 37 would make the cut for a world-level competition

These are some of the funniest comments I've ever read! I'm glad to see I'm not the only 1 who feels like Obama was basically elected thanks to the liberal media. Ever notice how Obama would ALWAYS be glorified in every way, while McCain (a friggin POW) was vilified...even down to how they would have these really nice, big photos of Obama and really crappy little photos of McCain. It's like they were trying to market a Big Mac or something.

I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU LIBTARDS RIGHT NOW. SOCIALISM IS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF YOUR PAYCHECK GOES TO TAXES FOR GOVERNMENT WELFARE PROGRAMS FOR POOR AKA LAZY PEOPLE. IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE, SO THE POOR WELFARE QUEENS CAN GET TREATED FOR HEART ATTACKS FROM EATING MCDONALD'S ALL DAY AT YOUR EXPENSE. IT'S WHEN YOU ARE FORCED TO MOVE TO A CITY BECAUSE OWNING A CAR BECOMES UNREASONABLE DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND GAS TAXES. IT'S WHEN YOU ARE PERSECUTED FOR THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND ARMS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GUARANTEED BY OUR CONSTITUTION. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS THE VISION THAT EURO-BANKER-PUPPET OBAMA HAS FOR AMERICA.

For those of you complaining about socialism in America, here's an idea: why not just grab your passport and get the fuck out? Go live in a "small government" country, where you can pay zero taxes and own all the guns you want. I hear Somalia is nice. Home school your kids, dig a latrine, defend your home (for real, this time) practice the barter system, and most importantly: maybe shut the fuck up for a while.

So all the Obama haters finally found something to pick on him about. He made a funny remark to poke fun at his bowling skills. So OMG impeach him. Yeah, so he couldn't win the special olympics with his bowling score but he is improving.
I would point out that many of the comments I read here are far more offensive than what Obama said. Just count the word "retard" in the first 94 comments and tell me that you guys are somehow any better. I love how you call the black man a biggot and the leader of the free world a communist. Yeah you guys are quite impressive with your political correctness.
And you miss Bush? Really? You must be a comedian, all the other comedians miss him too. Well he wrote a book for you. I can't wait for my copy. Maybe he will explain how he managed to let the country get so screwed up. Another four years of his hands off form of leadership and we could be all the way to the septic tank instead of just going down the drain.
Personally, I hope Obama does Letterman next just to piss off all the ding dongs. Oops, sorry if I offended the snack cake industry.
By LOLATU, on March 21, 2009 17:51:53

Doncha love how people think that he actually means the apology and should be forgiven? He's a self-righteous jackass who'll whine forever about how people discriminate boohoo, but shows a total lack of empathy by joking about the handicapped. So typical.
What next? Does he also have to mock gays to get some people to hate him? Asians? Latinos? How about announcing that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world?
They should've elected Bill Clinton again. Sure he was a hypocritical jerkoff too, but at least he was smart enough to not do this shit. He wouldn't have said that the economy collapsing was a "great opportunity" either! He was too smart for that!
Obama's clearly got the IQ and social skills of a goat. I can't believe we went from one dickbrained moron to the next, and the only difference is the extremism they embrace and the color of their skin. Goodbye, America.

#35, you're right that nationalizing banks is socialism but that's not what this country has done. What we have done (started under Bush and continues under Obama) is nationalize the losses the banks suffer but the profits are still privatized. And under your rationale, the tax system in this country is a form of socialism eventhough every president (and every presidential candidate except for Steve Forbes) has done nothing to change it and therefore all of the presidents are socialists. The tax system now in place has always been this way (with a difference of only a couple % points.

i think retards are funny - i think making fun of retards is funny - and i think its great that our leader humbled himself to the lowly ranks of a retard. fucking brilliant.
Maybe the right wing anti-masturbaters cried all night because he said "special olympian" (and we know he meant retard) - but in the northeast, it's commonplace to use that word everday. People up here where the world moves a bit faster and the people tend to be a bit smarter and not so naive and retarded about the world, have no problem with using the word RETARD.
How come no one is complaining about fire retards?
