So last night, Obama was campaigning again on the Tonight Show w/Jay Leno. Yes, even tho the election has been over....but I digress.

I am not one to be nitpicky, and obviously - the last thing I'm going to do is have a fit about something that isn't thought to be 'politically correct', as that's an epidemic that's become insanely out of control in today's society, and a major branch of the Double Standard that has come to being in this country.
But so here's what happened last night, Obama made an off the cuff joke that his bowling game was so bad, it was similar to the Special Olympics when he bowls. Funny? Sure. Of course seen as insensitive by some? Sure. I imagine it could be insulting to the Special Olympics.
But now here's why I chose to post about this. Because the double standard shows its ugly face again. I guess when "That One" says something like that, again, we are supposed to just laugh it off, say oh look he apologized, alright let's...once again, "Move On", right? But say anything about Obama........like That One. Or, talk about being a "Community Organizer", now THATS INSULTING. That insensitive Palin and that racist McCain.
Maybe it's just you're not allowed to say anything against the President, but the President can say stuff about you. Oh wait, Kanye West proved that's not true, either....must just be Obama.
Well, I guess this is why the teleprompter has to follow BO everywhere he goes. Otherwise, things just don't go so well.
The funniest thing about last night is Obama making the relation of being President, to being on American Idol, and everyone is Simon. I found that hilarious, considering I've called the entire election and his being elected, an American Idol election. I take that as a confession, he knows what happened. If only the rest of America would realize that.
