Conservatives will love this, even though they are mostly retarded.

Seriously, no Fark Independent will dare mock this since Obama makes fun of the weak.

Swampthing in Korea: At this rate, Obama and his disciples will out-gaffe 8 years of the Bush administration in 6 months.

Why haven't you commented in the Gitmo thread? You were a big supporter. What do you think?

Retards don't go bowling. Retards go to the zoo.

10 sec rule applies to pudding too: But it would be fine if Leno said that... ?

No, it would still be stupid, but not as bad, 'cos Leno's not the PRESIDENT.

You do see the difference, right?

It was an unfortunate joke and the entire situation was not well managed by his handlers...

That said, people need to farkin' lighten up a little

That's cute. "Lighten up".

Would Johnny "have lightened up" if that was Bush?

I don't think so. Johnny would be cleaning the shiat out of his pants because he was so mad. I think Johnny's a hypocrite.

What a strange thread for an Internet Tought Guy!?!
Actually you are wrong. You don't even state a position just spew your trolling shiat.

/Francis?

The Great EZE		2009-03-20 12:02:41 AM

that was a fark up, no one denies this*. The most unfortunate thing is the amount of conservative shrieking this will cause. my guess is tha this will last until July 2010. And how does one argue against that?

/*the guys at KSK probably laughed.

IronTom		2009-03-20 12:04:03 AM

oooh, tough question on the 90% tax

Vangor		2009-03-20 12:04:08 AM

MethFreek: Would Johnny "have lightened up" if that was Bush?

The comment was poor taste for Obama to make, but thus far he has been doing exactly what I wanted him and voted for him to do. I don't frankly care what tasteless remarks he makes on a comedy (though I loosely call it comedy) show provided he continues to do what he was elected to do.

Bush, I never spited until the stupidity he uttered became a reflection of the stupidity of his actions. Now, phrases such as "watch this drive," and "is our children learning," represent him not as an ineloquent speaker but a terrible leader and "decider".

Timmy the Tumor		2009-03-20 12:04:41 AM

IronTom: Timmy the Tumor: $5 says Leno laughs when Obama says it, though.

ahh, someone else is watching it now too!

nah, I'm watching some ultimate fighting thing, let me know if Jay giggles though

bulldg4life		2009-03-20 12:04:42 AM

The Great EZE: And how does one argue against that?

If this is the worst thing to go after Obama until July of 2010...I couldn't really care less.

tenpoundsofcheese		2009-03-20 12:04:53 AM

astrotri: This is going to be awesome. I need another reminder that conservatives are the most worthless piles of shiat in the world, .

so obama says this and you are now excited that people are going to be talking about it.

you are sick.
how about some honesty?

And they will ignore the news that most of the prisoners held at Gitmo are innocent. They are living and breathing pieces of shiat.

John Buck 41		2009-03-20 12:05:05 AM

Mordant: John Buck 41: Good Lord...can you imagine the shiatstorm if George Bush had said this?

What ? Are you saying you can't compete with the libs at the outrage game ? See, this kind of surrender is just another of the many things that are wrong with modern "conservatives".

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get to work screaming and swooning over this. Go, now. go !!

I have no idea what point you're trying to make. If it's sarcasm, it's the most subtle I've ever seen. If you're trying to insult me, try again.

TheMiddleFinger		2009-03-20 12:05:20 AM

What a trashy thing to say for a president.

TommyymmoT		2009-03-20 12:05:32 AM

Malbar: Retard jokes and giving cheap DVDs of the wrong region to another world leader as a gift. This man is a moron.

Yes, by all means. Bush was much more intellegent.

I bet you wish Sarah Palin was at the helm right now.

NYZooMan		2009-03-20 12:05:37 AM

Two friggin months and this is what, f**kup 399?

Shaggy_C		2009-03-20 12:06:16 AM

kasmel: I can't tell if that's ironic or a genuine attempt to troll. If I had to guess I'd say ironic.

Stupid topic calls for stupid comments.

40below		2009-03-20 12:07:37 AM

bulldg4life: President Bush was asked a direct question about middle east tensions in which he asked for everybody to help defend America against "these terrorist killers". He then said "now watch this drive".

Obama was asked about his bowling and made a stupid comment.

Context can be a biatch for trolls.

Might want to check that whole 'context' definition out, ace. Obama was being interviewed on national TV, which I guess is the only acceptable opportunity to make fun of the mentally retarded, especially when the POTUS brings it up himself.

Yeah, I'm here, but the TV is in the opposite direction of the computer in this room.

40below: bulldg4life: That's what makes me chuckle. It's funny to see that the President says the same things many of us would say if we were out bowling with friends.

Like "Watch this drive?"

/ don't remember anyone chuckling
// or saying "Hell, he's just being one of the guys"
/// or saying "none of us are the President on national TV..so it doesn't excuse it, but it is funny"

LandStander: 129? That's not Special Olympics. That's 3rd game on a beer league night. I know people who would be happy to roll a 129.

/would be happy to roll 100, let alone 129.

John Buck 41: Good Lord...can you imagine the shiatstorm if George Bush had said this?

I would've laughed my ass off just as hard, although he probably would've found a way to go full retard.

JOEKC		2009-03-20 12:09:21 AM

WienerButt: Is there normally a guy next to the desk picking up all the crap Leno throws or is that some SS protocol?

That's Joey. He's always there, but never with a tie.

I'm not sure if I'm the one that needs to understand the "context" definition.

I mean, even in your constant trolling, you must see the difference between talking about terrorism and ending it with a flippant comment as opposed to making a stupid ill-thought out joke about his bowling abilities.

But sure, they are on equal footing and I'm a hypocrite.

HealthyInfuzions		2009-03-20 12:09:37 AM

This is NOT what I had the audacity to hope for.

SeismicJizzer		2009-03-20 12:10:08 AM

zefal: George Bush went to Yale and Obama went to Occidental College.

Obama the great communicator when his teleprompter goes blank

/Release your records from Occidental College, Obmama!!! What are you hiding?

Really douche? Do I have to whip out McCain's "that's not change we can believe in." (creepy pedophile smile) with that puke green background speech he gave when Obama won the nomination?

The mook couldn't even read a teleprompter and you have the chutzpah to whine about Obama using a teleprompter?

The geezer doesn't have an eye and mouth coordination and the carcass wanted to be president!

NYZooMan		2009-03-20 12:10:16 AM

Obama's 'style' is all a fake put on.

Deep down he's a bitter vulgarian.

Chloris Leechman isn't going to dance with Obama?

I'm crushed.

CynicalLA		2009-03-20 12:10:37 AM

Retards are probably a lot happier than most of us, ignorance is bliss.

I agree with you		2009-03-20 12:10:45 AM

I think "da pres" will be apologizing quite often in the next 4 years, if he makes it that long. Farkin' around out in the public like he has been lately and he might not make a full pull to the end.....just sayin

Eww, that is definitely not a reason to look

suggestive_eye_movement		2009-03-20 12:11:33 AM

Great going, Obama. You just insulted 100 percent of Leno's audience. You're not a comedian -- stop.

Mordant		2009-03-20 12:11:47 AM

The Great EZE: The most unfortunate thing is the amount of conservative shrieking this will cause. my guess is tha this will last until July 2010. And how does one argue against that?

more importantly, who will care ?

Will they impeach over this ? They already have 65 other things they want to impeach over.

Will they scream and yell about it ? They already scream and yell 24x7.

Will they use this as an opportunity to strengthen their own game and rise above a weakened opponent ? No, that would never even occur to them.

So basically whatever they do over this amounts to exactly... NOTHING.

Well a group of criminals raped the country for eight years and didn't have a problem being re-elected.

s it bad that i lol'd at all the Adams Family references in Obama's last statement?

A Dark Evil Omen		2009-03-20 12:12:52 AM

Ha! Where's your messiah now, libs? Making retard jokes on national TV. He may be clean and articulate but he's no statesman and certainly no president.

Am I doing it right?

pvd021		2009-03-20 12:13:22 AM

Still less insulting than being given the middle finger, or having ones sweater used as a cleaning utensil, or making jokes about looking for WMD when thousands of men you sent are dying while searching them, or making fun of a blind men, or........

I could go on and on.

suggestive_eye_movement		2009-03-20 12:13:34 AM

Fart_Machine: I thought Conservatives were all about being Anti-PC?

Only when it suits them. When they're not being anti-PC, they're being excruciatingly PC.
