"I did a search on Google with the key words "Obama quote special olympics," and there are no major news outlets with any articles or posts."

Don't be disheartened. I'll tell you what!

I live near St. Louis, where we get our TV stations from, and Obama's comments are resonating on St.Louis local news stations!

On the local CBS affiliate on Friday evening they did an ENTIRE SEGMENT on Obama's Special Olympics comment; playing the video and even going so far as to show the reactions of Special Needs children and their parents being interviewed on their reactions to Obama's comments.

At first, I thought "OK, they're getting ready to show some kids saying they still love Obama and all that kind of propaganda...might as well change the channel..."

WRONG!!

These kids said they had been HURT by his words! One black girl [who appeared to be 15 or 16 yrs. old] said her whole opinion about Obama has changed forever!

This is resonating in the St.Louis area!! make no mistake about it. People have been hurt by this!!! Children.

This guy is a turd. And he'll soon find out that even the Obama Kool-aid drinkers can tell sugar from $h!+!!

This guy is going down.

Thanks Once A Marine!

Once-A-Marine,

Thanks for your comments on my blog, Neophyte Pundit. It is great to hear that the folks in the “flyover country” have taken Obama to task for his insensitive comments. It is sad that he “slipped” and harmed the innocents of our society, those who are least able to defend themselves. I find it heartening that, perhaps, the grassroots backlash may well begin from the one place in the country that Obama/Pelosi/Reid and the Democrats hold in such disdain. He has merely been exposed as what he is, an elitist intellectual that believes he and his governing class know best. His socialist tendencies
Have consistently been proven a failure, and I pray that this is the beginning of the rise of the common people with whom he has saddled debt never seen in order to put in place his design for total governmental control. At least, let’s hope so! The freedoms, liberty and pursuit of happiness that he has cast aside will be defended by more than those in uniform. Thank you for your service to your country, I for one am very proud to call myself a friend of the military; not something the Commander in Chief shares with me.

God Bless and Semper Fi!

Don't know why you named your blog as you did ... you don't seem like a neophyte to me.

Can't help but wonder if the President will be 'Imusized.' Not, geese and ganders now have two different sets of rules.

This is a great post and I am enjoying reading your others.
