The Plain video was NOT the response but her quote was a quite clear response.

Sorry but your attempt at disinformation = fail.

Obama should be ashamed of himself.

You should know the Palin video was not a response to the Obama gaff. Palins video was posted 10 days before Obama went on Leno and made fun of special Olympics.

Jesse P.

What I simpy do not understand is people, such as yourself, excusing a sitting United States president, making a mockery out of the sweat, training and hardwork of physically and mentally challenged individuals through the Special Olympic programs. Next thing you know, Michelle Obama will be at some special needs school for a photo-op.

Had this been George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity etc., the media would have called for a public lynching and the communist organizations would have amassed thousands of immediate protesters. It seems to me that Mike Savage made a comment about autism and the over-diagnosis in that population and he was all but lynched (and Savage had psychiatrists and others in the MD community to back him up). The media totally misconstrued Savage’s comments and it brought the wrath of autism special interest groups. Finally, they actually heard what Savage was saying AND HE WASNT MOCKING THIS POPULATION.

OBAMA’S REFERENCES TOTALLY MOCKED PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, THEIR PARENTS, SIBLINGS AND FRIENDS. TEACHERS, COACHES, ETC. PERHAPS THATS BECAUSE HE GETS MORE POLITICAL MILEAGE OUT OF ACORN!!!!

Obama was saying that Leno congratulating him on such a low score was like the special olympics, not the low score itself.

And thats completely true. Its the “everyone wins!” mentality that they have in the SO and now many elementary school sports and other activities.

It is ridiculous. And saying that people who are born with an unfortunate, abnormal condition “special” and “most precious” is more talking down than what Obama said. Nature makes mistakes, that doesnt make you special.

I simply dont understand this mentality.

not at all
