AIG Bonuses? What About Obama Waste to Go on Leno?

Written by: Aaron Katsman | March 20, 2009

So we have Barack Obama out there just outraged over the bonuses paid to AIG workers, after the company had already received bailout money from the US government, yet no outrage on the wasted money so that he can appear on the Jay Leno show? It costs about $75,000 an hour for Air-Force One, and how much did all the security cost to sterilize the route to get to Leno, and all the other associated costs? All that so that we can hear the Prez. without his security blanket, umm I mean teleprompter, make fun of special Olympians.

Where is the outrage? Can you imagine if former President Bush made a comment about the Special Olympics? Front page in the New York Times, I would imagine. But with Obama, not a mention. Double standard????

He has hurt many families in America. He needs to say he is sorry in the public, not to an organization.

In addition, someone who claims to have experienced prejudice and stereotypes throughout life, and has written about them in great detail, should be more sensitive and refined from life’s lessons.

Furthermore, Obama claimed he was going to have the world think ‘highly’ of America again. Will this joke help?

For someone who spoke of equality as a creed. Does this joke match that philosophy?

For someone that said he would stand for all people. Does this stand up for those that participate in the Special Olympics?

The fact is Obama claimed a higher standard. To much is given, much is required.

Obama has just showed us that ‘yes we can’ destroy what a campaign stands for with a single joke.

During the campaign for the White House in 2008, the media criticized Palin for being ‘common,’ ‘not-polished,’ ‘not-compassionate’ and ‘not presidential.’ However, compare Sarah Palins attitude in this video created three weeks ago for the Special Olympics in Boise, Idaho.

You decide the more ‘presidential’ among them. Watch: http://tinyurl.com/ccz6nj

Nice post. Howver, I think the biggset outrage should have been over the bailout instead.
