Well, slip of the tongue or not he's got to realize that EVERYONE from all groups are paying attention and as Prez you just can't do that stuff.

We all say things we regret, I think his apology was sufficient.

In opinion there is so much more weighty matters that we are facing, no one is prefect, and think it was just a lame attempt at poking fun at himself and in no regards to miminize the disabled.

The news just has a way of making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Obama discusses how he reached out to all former Presidents “who are living….I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing you know about doing any seances.”

Like he insulted Nancy Reagan. This is a flippant, trashy pattern. It is one of the reasons thy push him to not leave the teleprompter.

Of course the audacity of telling vets they were not worth their efforts and could pay their own way tell us he is for real. This is called a head trip. Narcissism is hard to cure.

We blame the news. Like they say, If President Bush had done this, it would have beeen 10 times alrger. Of course the media let him slide. He gave the PM of UK some DVD's last week that won't work on a UK DVD player. Then a gift to a child was a 3 dollar blister pack dollar General toy.

That they do, but really no one should even say anything like that. Just put yourself in the shoes of a mom of a child with special needs. Would you enjoying hearing anyone use that as a way to poke fun at themselves?

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.

Now that is something to get in an uproar about indeed, I am glad his effords to twart aid to wounded vets was short lived.

Several parts to that. He is not a thinker. talks and then he spins. Vets are going to have to cheat to get insurance coverage to pay war wounds that are excluded from their plan.

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?
