Is this the end of the Obama presidency? Tonya Harding has turned on him. Oh no.
Tonya Harding Slams Barack Obama: "He Has To Bring Me Up?"

During an interview with HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Tonya Harding verbally slams Barack Obama for using her name to get across a few points.

At one event in 2007 Obama said:

"Folks said there's no way Obama has a chance unless he goes and kneecaps the person ahead of us, does a Tonya Harding," Obama joked, referring to the female skating champion who conspired to harm a competitor during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. "We decided that's not the kind of campaign we wanted to run," he said.

1. Well, if Obama and Biden team up on the ice...
...I think they can beat Tonya Harding's triple axel with an "Iron Lotus." :rofl:

4. I guess she shouldn't have capped Kerrigan, then.
What next? What criminal will be outraged next? I really don't care what this tweaker has to say.

11. Yeah, if she didn't want herself to be
a national bad joke. Poor tanya always the victim.

6. She and Rick Santelli should hang out. They clearly have shared delusions of grandeur.

7. Tonya, sweetheart, you should've thought of this before you kneecapped
the person ahead of you.

9. Well
she has a massive ego and displays it proudly.
She shouldn't be given any attention.

13. That Real Sports piece was a sad story of Harding life
she is now basically a circus act, going from small town to small town scrapping up a few dollars doing appearances.

15. As long as the Secret Service keeps her out of baseball bat range
I'm sure Obama will manage.

16. Just like her wedding night performance - lame and forgetable
She should be glad for the attention that does not include pick up trucks, tattoos and comic book henchmen.

17. She should team up with Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin
and go for the three ring circus. They could hit the road and travel from one real America small town to another. I bet they'd get a hero's welcome everywhere. They can call themselves THE ARISTOCRATS!

18. Don't want to be a laughingstock, don't do something stupid
Harding is trying to use this as a way to leverage her pathetic self back into the spotlight. Hopefully she just fades away back into oblivion.

22. right, she just displays her trashiness
every time she opens her mouth. if she really cared about her reputation, she would make amends and not bring attention to herself.

19. When you've lost the support of Tonya Harding,
your presidency is over.

And there it is -- the sheer public power of a Tonya Harding. In less than 2 months she took out a popular president at the knees, as it were.

If Barack Obama's presidency can be gauged by the idiots who are opposing it, he's obviously a huge success already.

23. I just watched the interview
She's pathetic.

While, to some degree, I agree that she's paid her price, she needs to get over the phony outrage.

I also found it ironic that her latest endeavor has her as a paid role model for children. Yikes!
