Wow, so Obama is capable of saying stupid stuff. I thought we would get through at least the first six months of his administration before he made some wince-inducing remark. But unlike Sarah Palin, I'm going to keep the president's faux pas in perspective. If the disability community wants something to get upset about, there's the group home in Texas where the staff organized their own little fight club using the residents as gladiators.

So Obama is not God after all. He is only human, and a humbled one I guess, after being surprised at his own appalling words.
He may not have thought himself capable of such stupid remarks, before this incident happened.

Let's look at it this way; now the mentally disabled community has some leverage on Obama. If they play their cards right, we'll see the White House employ someone with an intellectual disability and full funding for the Special Olympics... red carpets and steak dinners for all!

Yeah, but will they get the $100/oz steaks imported from Japan?
