That's one of the things that I like about him. He is charismatic and has a sense of humor. It is too bad that the world is so PC that he felt the need to apologize for that
The unfortunate fact is that it is the extreme left that has created the over PC everyone is equal world that we live in. So he as their spokesperson should have known better. From an average Joe and in an average conversation his remarks may have been humorous, but he is the President and he was on public television. It was a screw up of GW proportions.
I think it goes without saying that this thread will be watched closely by the mods.
There is a pat phrase that my brother the Warrant Officer frequently used for Clinton, GW Bush, and now Obama that I'm sure that you are familiar with concerning a soldier's duty to his President...
On a lighter note, there's a Special Olympian bowler locally who has said he accepts Chairman Obama's apology but would really like to settle it by challenging the Messiah to a bowling match. This guys average is like 185!
I'll always support my President because he is my President not just because I am obligated under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but because I am an American.
However, that really was a terrible remark for him to say on television.
But, as Freud would say....
I agree Shane it will get watch by the Mod squad. I didn't intend for this to be a shame on the left thread just to point out the screw up.
All, lets try to keep the comments to the content of his remarks and not his political affiliations.
That article was in my paper this morning.
But in all honesty, do you not see why the bowler is so forgiving of the president?
I think it was silly for him to have to apologize. Everyone knew it was self-deprecating humor. I typically fall into the camp of "if you're offended by what someone else says, that's your problem."
That's not to say that there aren't some really hurtful things that can cause pain. However, if someone is joking around and not being mean spirited- just deal with it
without his teleprompter.
President or otherwise, He is human.......humans make mistakes. A big man realizes he makes a mistake and an even bigger man apologizes for it.
Remember, a mistake made once is a valuable lesson. I welcome making mistakes, I can learn......I am human....
