Senator
He might not be who you thought he was.....
The controversial rodeo clown who was fired after depicting President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull earlier this month spoke out on Monday about his stunt, telling KCTV5 that he didn't intend to disrespect the president and would be "honored" to meet Obama.
Tuffy Gessling, who received a lifetime ban from the Missouri State Fair after his depiction of Obama sparked national outrage, said he's received multiple death threats since the August 10 incident.
"I've had somebody threaten to run me over. One of them wanted to burn the house down," he said. "I didn't do this to do any hating on anyone. I did this to be funny. I did it to be a joke."
According to KCTV5, another man wore the Obama mask while Gessling provided commentary. Gessling denies that the act was racially charged.
"I never did anything because of anybody's race. I don't care what color somebody is. If they're blue, white, green, polka dotted, striped ... it doesn't bother me one bit," he said, noting they had previously performed similar acts featuring past presidents.

That last bit is important. If this act was done before featuring past Presidents and was no big deal, why should this be treated differently? Not only was he fired, the NAACP wants the Justice Department to investigate him. It seems those who pledge allegiance to this President are every bit as tolerant as radical Islam towards those who mock The Prophet. Something not right with this North Korean way of thinking.
The phrase "lighten up" comes to mind......
