Obama's Oops

He could have said, "I stink at bowling", we'd got he was making fun of himself.

We all know that he didn't say it to intentionally make fun of special needs kids.

Exactly, it's the spirit in which he said it, he wasn't being vindictive.

He is a new president and will definitely be more careful about how he choses his words, perhaps now he can relate to why Bush would stammer frequently-he was trying not to offend anyone.

I guess I wouldn't know how I would respond if I had a child who participated in S.O., Keith works with some children who do, but I guess I am putting myself in Obama's shoes, of being misunderstood and using the wrong phrase because he was trying to be funny.

I am more worried about his policies than his faux pas I guess. Some things are worth getting upset about, for me this isn't one. I know that there are enough people out there who will take up for me on this.

The other part was him trashing pres Bush and saying it was so shameful how poorly we take care of our vets and then flip flop and stab them in the back?

I am sure at some point he will realize that Bush didn't do such a bad job after all, and campaigning is not the same as leading a nation.

Well I also like to add, that if he continues about being caviler about his comments and controlling his ..oh I guess put downs then I think I would take bigger issue with it.

It's obvious he thinks one way and speaks how he really thinks in his heart.
Luke 6:45 (KJV)
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

BARACK OBAMA’s half-brother has been refused entry to Britain after reportedly being accused of an attempted sex attack on a 13-year-old girl on his last visit.

Samson Obama, who runs a mobile phone shop in Nairobi in Kenya, was on his way to the president’s inauguration in January when he tried to stop over in Britain to visit relatives.

But he was turned away by immigration officers who declined to issue a visa on the grounds of deception.

Biometric tests carried out at East Midlands airport showed that he was linked to the attack on a girl in Berkshire last November but never charged, according to a report last night. Further checks identified Samson as the half-brother of President Obama, leading to a hurried call to the White House.

Looks like the false identity issure runs in the family.

Wonder why americans don't here this? we heard about President's bushs nieces' troubles.
