Bowling With Obama

Well, you've all heard of this by now, or seen it:



An apology was issued by the White House before the clip even hit the air. So now everything's supposed to be copacetic, right?

Wrong.

There is one fundamental thing you need to understand. People like Obama - egotistical, self-important snobs - routinely look down their noses at anyone who doesn't fit into their country club universe.

You can bet that Obama's "Special Olympics" "gaffe" has come out of his mouth many, many times in the company of like-minded individuals who agree with him (most likely on the lanes).

If you think this is the first time he's said this, you're very much mistaken - not to mention ignorant and immature. People, in times of stream-of-consciousness cognizance, will say what has been burned into their synapses by repetition.

Obama has done this many times before and been laughed with. Now he said it in front of the wrong group of people.

Don't think this is going to change the way he thinks, just the way he communicates. Look for the teleprompter on every subsequent visit to The Tonight Show.
