Barack Obama's "Gaffe"


Right so here we are, Mr~President Barack Obama was on talk show and he makes the remark "bit like the special-olympics or something". People are getting uproared over it because they feel he has made a joke at their expense. However, not everyone is considering the "alternative perspective" surely. I mean if anyone actually watched it, firstly it was quite subtle and maybe he wasnt joking about it. Maybe he was expressing that patronising feeling that the talk-show host was giving him; comparing it to the patronising atmosphere behind the "special-olympics". It is quite easy for me to notice that the media is already trying to bring him down, but isnt that the role of the media anyway. Bringing people up through the use of the media, then scrutinising their every actions; in an attempt to reduce them to no more than a humiliated bystander on the high street.
