Obama: 'Sometimes I do boneheaded things'

One of Barry's handlers must have let him off his leash

I said it borders on racism. And it does. Implying a black man should be on a leash borders on racism.

The fact that you refuse to realize it or even accept that it could be seen that way shows the kind of shallow persons you are.

It's not a racist comment at all. I use that same type of saying in the business world when I can't find someone I'm looking for in their office - I ask around "Awright... Who dropped John's leash and let him get away again?"

You are the one that made it racist. It is a comparison to dogs, but never before has it entered my mind to think of that as racist until you stretched it to ridiculous lengths trying to reach back to slavery.

I'm ashamed of you for thinking it was racist - you must spend alot of time thinking of the color of people's skin to come up with racism where it's not intended. Personally, I prefer to judge people by their actions and character. As proven multiple times in the past, when Obama speaks extemporaneously, it's like letting a dog off it's leash in a park - you know eventually it's going to do something dumb.

This is one of the problems this country has with racism today. There is a double standard, and if you happen to be white, you have to tip toe around words and be damn sure nothing can be interpreted as racist. But if you're a black president, you can say "typical white person" and not a peep from the pc police. If Romney said "typical black person", his career in politics would end that day.

You really should lighten up Raees, because your're starting to look like Al Sharpton (but smarter). Oops, was that racist?

Holy s**t!! A politician that admits they make mistakes. That is just NOT right!

He actually said that? Maybe I'll put that in my sig. line. LOL

I didn't want to let it go unchallenged.
