Editorial: Obama cricitism is ‘political correctness’
March 21st, 2009From the editors of the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Obama’s attempt to make light of his poor score may have been in poor taste, but the real gutter ball goes to anyone trying to score political points off the remark.
… The Special Olympics took the opportunity to admonish that “words hurt and words do matter.” Yet it’s impossible to believe that Mr. Obama doesn’t understand that these Olympians are great — and the best way to show that would have been to treat them as tough enough to get past a wisecrack.
