I think Bush would have laughed so hard to fall out of his chair if a rodeo clown was made in his likeness.
People are not as fun as they used to be. Chill out

I'm surprised Obama didn't order a drone strike, lmao.
Has anyone ever been to the MO state fair? It's drunken redneckville. Particularly in the evenings. We were there a couple years ago and my wife almost got into 3, yes I said 3, separate fights with drunk woman that were being really rude. The first instance involved some gal opening up the bathroom door while my wife was on the pot and then screamed 'u should lock the door you stupid bitch' so loud I could hear it outside. Thing was there was no lock on the door. Of course the retaliation was even better lmao.
After about 2 hours we got into another minor skirmish, then the really good one came at the concession picnic tables where she got into a major argument that almost came to blows after we sat down and a mother and daughter tried sitting at our table when my wife had 2 water bottles sitting there in attempt to hold the spots for her sisters. We were surrounded by other empty tables. So what did these 2 do? They opened the waters and started drinking them. I'm not going to repeat what my wife said to them but even I was stunned.
Needless to say we won't be going back. It's been tempting though just to get to go the homemade cinnamon roll booth damn those were good! Maybe we could go early in the day lol.

James, I agree. Why are people so damn sensitive these days? Rob, sounds like it was a lot of fun. Your wife is a tough cookie, good thing you brought her along for protection. Haven't been for a while, but I like to go to the swapmeet, live within walking distance of one of the larger ones in the area. Keep in mind I'm only about ten minutes from the Mexican border. Lots of Baja plates and rude people, especially the women. After spending that year in Alabama years ago, when I returned home, I couldn't hardly stand to have that many people around me, it creeped me out.

Obama is a weak president. He has to protect his persona at all cost. He is so weak Bush's presidency is still negatively affecting Obama's 5 years later. Bush seems to have been the most powerful president in history. That is if you believe Obama and the media. They are claiming the "problems" are still Bush's doing. FWIW, Obama did claim to love his Chia pet. Is this a true story?

It seems like the clown was giving the people what they wanted. How can you bash an entertainer for entertaining his base/paying public? I mean, I get that BO is the prez and all, but this kind of thing has been going since Washington. Get over it.

I am not pumping up Obama but Bush was a snake and a lot of our problems today are of his doing. He started the downward slide and now it is too slick to get stopped. Then Obama will be blamed for it all when the cork is popped out of the bottle and the USA all drains out. Jim

I have a different opinion, but for this discussion, I'll stipulate Bush is the source of the woes. Bush started it. His policies are so similar Obama has apparently done nothing to re-direct the slide. Because he has done nothing in order to correct, he should be blamed. Personally, I blame the success of "liberalism" for our path. For instance, Obamacare seems destined to fail. Once it fails, the liberal's answer will be MORE regulation. Liberal's answer to failed regulation is always MORE regulation. Is Obama really truly angry about the Obama masked clown?

So that bastion of Liberalism, The Missouri State Fair, is really a front for Obama.

Hmmm, clown wearing an Obama mask is a problem? On the other hand, if Obama wore a clown mask, it would suit him perfectly *L*.....Mel

No Tela, it's seems the most creative author that ever existed and a gazillion-zillion monkeys typing for a trillion-brazillion years could never, ever come up with this, ever. =====================another related topic========================== But they forgot "Protected by the First Amendment". Whose behaviour are they commenting on? The clown's? Or the audience who enjoyed it?

Barry has had 5 years to fix what you say Bush broke. Has he fixed it yet??? Why not? Is he not the smartest person in the room? Is he not the answer to all answers? As for the clown. Why can't he use the same excuse as all then lefty comedians? Worked for them. Funny how the dems can burn and stomp on Bush and nothing is said. Barry will go down as the worst black president ever!

Barry will go down as the worst black president ever! Since Clinton was the first black president, he'll remain "best" in my eyes.

Why didn't this clown get fired?? But some defenders of the skit noted Tuesday that broad mockery of politicians is a common thing for rodeo clowns, who are an example of a style of entertainment from court jesters and vaudeville buffoons. C harlie Spiering of The Washington Examiner cited a 1994 case of a rodeo clown wearing a mask of George H.W. Bush and noted that a contemporary account in The Philadelphia Inquirer closely resembled press accounts of the Missouri sketch. “The big white gate flew open. The bull came out bucking. The rider flopped from side to side and the bullfighters held back, letting the bull make his moves until the rider dropped off. Licciardello crouched in a heavily padded barrel, a human target should the bull decide to charge. Hawkins waited near the barrel, holding his big inner tube. A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick, “T.J. Hawkins rolled out the big inner tube, and the bull lowered his head, shot forward and launched into the tube, sending it bounding down the center of the arena. The crowd cheered. Then the bull saw the George Bush dummy. He tore into it, sending the rubber mask flying halfway across the sand as he turned toward the fence, sending cowboys scrambling up the fence rails, hooking one with his horn and tossing him off the fence.” Read more: www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/13/rodeo-clowns-asked-take-sensitivity-training/?page=2#ixzz2bxa7WnG1 Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter

I was thinking that it was a form of affection that a president would be a rodeo clown.
It does seem to have origins from England where they had jesters.
And if I saw Obama laughing about his rodeo clown I would give him a salute.
I wonder if they consulted w/president Obama regarding this matter?
