Doesn't that get right to the heart of one of the issues in the health care reform bill? If you have a medical condition like Parkinson's you lose your health insurance---get kicked off---and you can't get another company to take you.
Sometimes you get cancelled. Sometimes your premiums go up to a point that you can't afford to stay insured so you lose your insurance.
And, once you've got a condition like Parkinsons, no other insurance company is going to offer you coverage...
Wow just wow. How anyone can even come close to excusing this behavior. If this was the other way around and a teabagger was sitting in a wheel chair and a support of the bill was standing over them yelling in their face...ah never mind. Truely pathetic
Wow just wow. How did obama, a sittingf president, get away with making fun of handicap people and the Special Olympics. People are passing it off as a bad joke. It was cruel, period. You do not joke about handicap people. How would you all feel if a handicap person turned the tables and made a cruel joke about obama being a black man. Would that be OK????

That topic has been discussed at nauseum. Obama attempt at making a joke about himself and using the special olypics was tasteless and he has apologized for it over and over. The fact that you would excuse what those ignorant folks did on that clip is even more dispicable. But hey its "FREEDOM OF SPEECH".

I wish you'd tell that to some of the people posting here for your 'team' who are constantly calling other posters *******s or demtards, etc. I also can't believe you can't see the difference between a poor, tasteless joke about bowling on a Special Olympic league and throwing money at a sick person and yelling in his face. Those two things aren't remotely equal in the insulting disabled persons department.

I never even thought about that ^^^ but it's true.
Those names really are insulting to certain populations but the conservatives have no problem using those terms over and over.
Conservatives really love to insult people and call people derogatory names. They also have a real knack for twisting reality, don't they?

I agree, though I'm not sure what team you are talking about. I'm a Democrat, but not an Obamacrat.
Sadly, though, those calling people the names you reference above are US citizens NOT an elected official on national TV. obama wanted the job, he is the POTUS, he has to be held to a higher standard than the average citizen.
How many times do I have to say that I dont agree with them doing that?
I dunno, it would be around the time that you stop going "While I don't AGREE with them throwing money in a disabled person's face... they DID have a point."
You are basically supporting infants.
Oh hold on, lemme drop an Obama card, cause clearly if Obama did a thing and was reprimanded for it it's totally okay for protesters to do something that is way worse directly to a guy.
