One way bull
Apparently when it comes to bull and the Obama, the bull only travels one way. Obama has been shoveling bull at the American people for five years, but heaven forbid if someone attempts to shovel any in his direction. The Daily Kos and the rest will have a conniption fit if anyone makes a joke about their messiah.
Fallout continued Monday over the performance of a rodeo clown who
donned a mask resembling President Barack Obama during Saturday’s
bull-riding competition at the Missouri State Fair.
The Missouri State Fair imposed a lifetime ban on the rodeo clown
whose depiction of Obama getting charged by a bull was widely
criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.
The rodeo
clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again.
Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action
against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor
responsible for Saturday's event.
A tempest over the incident erupted after the Show Me Progress website reported a Facebook account of it.
“The
announcer wanted to know if anyone would like to see Obama run down by a
bull,” the posting said. “The crowd went wild. He asked it again and
again, louder each time, whipping the audience into a lather.”
Another clown then apparently joined the performance.
“One
of the clowns ran up and started bobbling the lips on the mask and the
people went crazy,” the posting said. “Finally a bull came close enough
to him that he had to move so he jumped up and ran away to the delight
of the onlookers hooting and hollering from the stands.”
Mark
Ficken is the rodeo association president and was the rodeo announcer.
His attorney, Albert S. Watkins, said Monday that the clown was acting
unscripted. He said it was the clown, wearing a microphone, who made
comments riling up the crowd, according to the Associated Press.
Watkins says Ficken’s only comment during the routine was, “Watch out for that bull, Obama!”
The account quickly migrated to the liberal Daily Kos website.
After
hearing from reporters Sunday afternoon, fair organizers released a
statement, which did not contest the details reported on social media.
“The
performance by one of the rodeo clowns at Saturday’s event was
inappropriate and disrespectful, and does not reflect the opinions or
standards of the Missouri State Fair,” the statement read. “We strive to
be a family friendly event and regret that Saturday’s rodeo badly
missed that mark.”
