Obama makes insulting joke about Special Olympics
On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Obama made an insulting comment about the Special Olympics. Sarah Palin has now responded to this (via Hot Air):
“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.I'm betting he's not a fan of Ironside, Raymond Burr's second most famous TV role after Perry Mason, either. Come to think of it, he's probably not even a fan of Earle Stanley Gardner's own famous lawyer creation, his having studied law himself notwithstanding.
“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”
