Obama's Blunder

I'm sure everyone knows about this one, since it has been flooding the news all day. On March 19th, President Obama appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and ended up winning the disapproval of so many people [aka Republicans].

...Punks.

The first thing he did to piss them off was take the time to appear on a talk show based on comedy. Oh no, not comedy. Then he had the audacity to talk about his plans in solving this country's economic crisis.

Then his biggest fumble of words came when he compared his poor bowling abilities to the Special Olympics. Shortly after he came off the air, he realized that his word choice was not the best, and made a prompt apology to the Chairman of the Special Olympics, Timothy Shriver. Hear it for yourself, I'm not trying to twist any of my President's words:



Now that you have the facts, here come's Stassi's say. I don't see why the political world is focusing so intently on his slip of words and blowing it out of proportion. Yes, I will admit, that was not the wisest thing to say on national television. However, his comment was one of those foolish comments said amongst friends but not set out to hurt anyone's feelings. He immediately apologized for the error of his ways, and I feel that should be enough.

Some criticize Obama, arguing that his priorities are not in order. He should spend less time appearing on such shows and more time fixing the country. Number one, President Obama may be our president, but he is still a human being and a normal American citizen. What this means is: he is allowed to have a life and sense of humor.

Stop trying to find faults in him. He was America's choice, now let him do his job HIS way. It's a shame that we live in a country where people would rather part-take in animosity rather than let someone who wants to try and help the country do what they said they'd do.

SMH. America, reorganize YOUR priorities.
