    MDK, JC, HulkSmackNow, and the rest of the idiots on here need to get a life and shut the h*** up. I really enjoyed last night’s Jay Leno show. President Obama was on Jay Leno NOT because he was making jokes, but to talk to US (the American people, i.e.) on what’s going on and what he is doing. He is NOT a celebrity (even though some people THINK that he is) at all. He is smart, intelliegent, and very down-to-earth. JC, somebody needs to IMPEACH you. Your Mccain/Palin crew did NOT win. Get over it! The Republican Party will NOT be back until 2024 (LOL)! As for the Special Olympics gaffe? He did NOT mean any harm at all. He is NOT the only president who had slip ups, and he DID apologize. So, leave it alone.

    why wasn’t the comment on Kevin’s attire considered racist? c’mon- a black guy in a suit, and he’s labeled as security personnel? why not a businessman? or a politician?
    as for the ‘special’ remark… the real shame is that the writers for Jay are “in the Special Olympics or something”…
    I’d like to see Obama on Ferguson. Then- if he had a slip of the tongue and said a mildly offensive colloquialism no one would notice since his viewership is so low!

    Google bloomberg and 9.7 trillion. That’s what we should be focused on, not a piddly $160 million of bonuses paid to AIG Execs. If not enough people in the country wake up and realize there is a dominant minority that rules over the planet, yes the planet, then we’re all doomed. Go to Google video and search for Obama Deception. It’s a little under two hours. It’s an excellent film on how politicians are nothing more than puppets. Learn about the New World Order (I call them Pig Demons) and how they are ruining our lives. Instead of “Yes, we can,” we need to start saying, “No, we won’t!”

    Presidents have no taxing authority.

    Maybe this is the secret behind Obama his speeches:
    watch “the tiger and the president”

    Don’t care at all for ‘Leno’ Wouldn’t have been watching, however for anyone, anytime, anywhere to make reference about those less fortunate (especially THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATESS)on public TV. In my opintion he has not been brought up very well. It’s called compassion. It’s normal for most. My children have all been brought up to know that WE NEVER EVER make sarcastic remarks and or jokes about anyone with a disability!! My children at his girls ages would have been very dissapointed and embarrassed by their DAD. One slip of the tongue? Well that slip shows ignorance. How sad. Just goes to show, college educated, intelligent, PRESIDENT…doesn’t mean you have class nor compassion. If you don’t have it in your subconcious then why would it slip out? Sad Sad Sad. What is even more sad is that we voted for him. ‘Laughter at someones else expensive, anyone ever heard that b/f?

    I’ve read these remarks on here and this could be argued every which way but Sunday. However I do need to say to Carolyn: It was just a ‘joke’. Did you really find it funny? I would imagine if you’ve ever had a child with a disability you may not find it so funny. Sad Sad Sad

    I myself enjoyed the show, and yes it must be a rare occation for Kevin to wear a suit, showed respect to our President!
    Okay–so Obama goofed!
    Like many others, I don’t believe in this kind of talk about others, esp. those who have special needs.
    We have, what seems, like a level headed man to represnt The United States for a change.
    He wasn’t a happy camper to what AIG did, giving out bonuses! (*@%!*@%! on them!)What AIG did was WRONG and I’m glad to see our President saying something on national t.v. about that.

    The hippest of them all!

  • Cathy007

    No doubt, the hippest of them all! I watched and enjoyed the show.
