Well as the parent of a disabled child I'm glad he apologised promptly but notice that people tend to be rather more forgiving of insults against the disabled than they are of racist remarks. I'm sure Ron Atkinson would have much appreciated the same level of understanding afforded to Barack....

Yes, just imagine if you were disabled
and black.
The most interesting thing about this story is the way you and no doubt many others have turned this into an issue about racism. I doubt you made the same type of comparisons with the endless amount of Bushisms we heard in 8 years, and i'm sure people of such political persuasion have just been dyeing for the slightest incident in order to push this racial agenda.
By the way, secretly and maliciously calling somebody a "****ing lazy thick nigger" is not comparable to this Obama incident and it's ridiculous to think it is. Even the BBC Golliwog incident doesn't come close.
