Maria Shriver says laughing at such comments "hurts millions of people throughout the world."
No, Adim, Maria Shriver is not a Republican.

Sure, but I will wait til the teacher lets you stop standing in the corner.

Leg, are you serious with your outrage or are you hamming it up a bit?
I didn't think I'd have to explain to you of all people that the president's job is far bigger than crafting policy all day long.
Remember FDR and his fireside chats? Would you say he was wasting his time talking to the public, reassuring them, educating them, just plain talking to them?
It appears to me that Obama is emulating that model. He goes on the safe late night show with the affable, vanilla host that "regular" people love. He talks some business, he laughs a bit, he tries to reassure people.
It's not about campaigning anymore, it's about reaching out to people. It's about building trust and ultimately it's about keeping people off the proverbial ledge.
In short, he's doing what he does best: he's being himself and getting people to like and trust him. Not a bad thing, really. (Assuming he can actually do some good things with all that support.)
On the comment: it was a mistake, obviously, but way more innocent than the things the critics on here say about him and others on a regular basis. What's that story about casting stones again?

No, I was pretty serious. Although, I like your take.
I just find Leno & Espn to be a poor choice of venue. There's a lovely oval office for this. Crank up the fireplace, put on your house shoes & Mr. Rogers sweater and make it as vanilla as it needs to be. Invite Leno over, or Lauer, or Gibson, or whomever you're comfortable with.
If it truly is about reaching out to people, then sit down and be a human being for 5 minutes. Leno was schtick, as was ESPN. These guys get so set on their "campaign" (whether if its before or after the election makes no difference) that they can't just look at the camera, or look at the host, etc. and just say "oops." One time.
It's not even about the Spec. O. comment. Put the cue cards away and just talk to us. We're adults. We also think we are pretty fcuking great people too, so you don't need to remind us - we'll be the 1st to tell you how great we are. Here's what's going on with the bailouts, here's how I think it will help. The problem is they jerk us around so much with the deceit that they can't even remember what story to feed us anymore, but they're in luck because our attention span is shorter than theirs is. Don't fcuking lie to me that you had no idea AIG was paying bonuses & then pretend to be appalled by it. Just tell us why they need to be paid to be retained because they are in a specialized field that could possibly begin to fix some problems.
Unless you can't be honest with us, because you truly intend on sticking it in the public's ass to save your* own.
*All of Washington.

You might want to watch the interview in it's entirety, Retard republicans.
He was lights-out perfect the whole time other than the one slip of the tongue, which was muffled by laughter in the audience so I didn't even think anyone caught it. Not excusing it, it was a pretty big blunder and a bit surprising to here a president joke like that. But he was awesome other than that moment. He had intelligent explanations about Madoff, AIG, the banking crisis, etc. It would have been nice to see Governer Bush be able to speak that intelligently (other than the obvious special olympics comment) in such an informal setting once in eight years.
I'm not in the car yet, but I'm wondering what Rush's show as about today. I'm guessing Obama's fascist movement of putting special olympians in concentration camps?
And you might want to get his bowling pin out of your mouth long enough to understand that anyone with half a brain understands the Spec. Olympics comment was just a gaffe, but is more concerned that Obama is still on his campaign tour.

He's on his campaign tour?
You're serious?
He's probably spent more time actually working in the oval office in just over 60 days than Bush did in the average year.
I think Bush never did informal social events because he didn't want to be stuck in a situation where he didn't have a respone for 6 minutes...

Damn, Dog the dick hunter is in a corner, looks like you lost junior! Your Prez is sucking! And you got to bring up Bush, who at least made this country safe from the terrorists that Clintoon let in! LMAO!

Working on his 7-10 pick-up, apparently.
So Jay & Barry are going to fix the economy? Barry's bracket is going to stimulate gambling the economy?
Yawn. Wake me up when he's the 1st black president to do whatever is next on the itinerary where he feels it necessary to throw a party for himself.

R your fcking kidding me? You're putting the tol on ole Bush when he had all of 8 months in office before the attack took place? B/C you're right there's no way that such an attack would take any more than 3 or 4 months to plan so it must be all on Bush. And the fact that the military and intel under Clinton had been cut in half had nothing to do with it I bet.

Since when is it acceptable for libs to rewrite history?
Just because Libs on the national scene do it?
If national scene libs, like those Dems in Congress jumped off a cliff, would you libs jump off it, too?
Wait, I think they and Obumbly are shoving all of us off a cliff... @@
