If I was a bull rider, I definitely would NOT want a clown wearing a mask that hampers his vision as the only person between me and the bull if I got into trouble.
A rodeo clown's serious job is to distract bucking bulls and horses. They are the rider's only safety net, and they have to be able to see that a rider is in trouble to be able to help him. That guy was probably a damned poor clown; a good one would never cover his face with anything but make-up. Lack of vision could get him and a rider both killed in a rodeo arena.
And a rodeo is not a place for politics. The guy can wear that mask anytime he wants to a teabag rally with no complaint from me, or even down the street if he wants to.
But he was hired to do an important job in an outdoor sport. You don't expect to see a referee wearing a rubber political mask at a football game, and you don't expect to see a medic on the job wearing a mask on a football field, either.
This guy was double stupid for wearing that mask. he killed whatever career he had and made a fool of himself while doing it.
Do you ride the bull of just the bull chit?
My take is you think Obama is a living God..... Obama is a living moron.
Last week, after having been notified that he was subject to arrest for merely observing the Solidarity Sing Along, David Dexheimer applied for and was granted a permit to observe from the vantage point of a 10’ x 10’ area on the first floor.
In his application, Dexheimer made clear that there would be up to three people who would like to "be free to speak amongst ourselves and to acknowledge by greeting, waving, applauding, speaking or any other non-disruptive manner, other visitors to the Capitol rotunda.”
In this case, the clown's misery may not be over. If his former employers, the rodeo contractors, lose a contract to put on a rodeo due to his actions, they could sue for damages.
A rodeo contractor owns the bucking stock and all the ancillary equipment needed to put on a rodeo, and hires all the necessary personnel. The personnel includes the announcers, the chasers, pick-up riders, and all other employees in the arena area, including the clowns.
All employees represent the contractor. The contractor is responsible for their employees, just like a building contractor is. Rodeo contractors spend thousands of dollars a day to make tens of thousands of dollars a day. It's an expensive business, and losing a contract is a very big deal.
That $15 dollar mask may be the most expensive thing the knucklehead ever bought!
They're more likely to lose a contract due to alienating their customers by firing the clown. By all accounts the crowd loved it, and the typical rodeo crowd isn't likely to be a bunch of Obama fawners in any case. They could easily turn on the company for firing the clown over this.

The Dixie Chicks became C list after she opened her yap and put a bullet in their career. Before that they had many #1 hits. After that none of their songs got any country radio, the most popular genre in the US, air time due to pressure from the listeners.
Much to do about nothing in this day and age. No body is immune really now.
