LOL I just saw it under Ticker, too, and edited the post.<BR/><BR/>You are right - people are WAY too sensitive about stuff. And while I usually never sit here and bitch about the name-calling, it's different when you're the leader of the free world mocking the learning-disabled.<BR/><BR/>For someone that is so defensive himself ("I inherited all of this mess,") and itching so badly to give to those in need ("You need a few billion for a bailout? Sure!"), you'd think he'd be the first to say that such labeling wasn't in good form.<BR/><BR/>But he apologized. So everyone can forget about it. I like how someone I know said that the Republicans should tuck this one away and remember it. :)<BR/>Totally agree.starttothinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665805460413938717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835494149543191485.post-19055360404075647672009-03-20T08:46:00.000-05:002009-03-20T08:46:00.000-05:00CNN's got it under the Ticker.

I mean, Laura Ingrahm calls MEgan McCain a "plus size model" and CNN talks about it for hours. This shit makes the View and headlines at CNN.com.<BR/><BR/>The leader of the free world cracks a joke about Special Olympics and it gets yukked up. <BR/><BR/>Man, it must be really nice to be an untouchable Democrat. Or is it because they forever perpetrate themselves to be the bleeding hearts that they think they can get away with it? <BR/><BR/>And one last thing - listen, I don't usually get on the soapbox about this stuff. I think in many ways, this country has become overly sensistive to minor things like this - the difference here is the the man that said this is our President. He's not the uneducated neighbor out in his backyard working on his Chevy that's been on cement blocks for years. HE'S THE PRESIDENT. <BR/><BR/>He is the highest and (supposidly) most distunguished representitive of our country.

It's their prerogative, it's their company. If you don't like the way AIG does business, then don't do business with AIG, it's as simple as that. That's how capitalism and free market economics work. What we really ought to do is stop bailing people out and stop this stimulus bullshit. Let the losers fail so that the winners can rise to the top.
