NEW YORK, NY – A popular TV host has gotten into some hot water with his comments towards the presidential family!
Glenn Beck is a media personality and he definitely presents a “hard to stomach” personality sometimes. He’s a conservative radio and TV host, but there are times when he doesn’t hold anything back or perhaps just doesn’t think about what he’s saying or doing. Beck has landed in hot water when he attacked Malia Obama on his radio program.
Beck, 46, made offensive comments against Barack Obama’s daughter following her inquiries into the recent BP Oil Spill in the Gulf Mexico. On May 28, Beck used his radio program to mock Malia. At one point he insulted her intelligence saying: “That’s the level of their education, that they’re coming to – they’re coming to Daddy and saying, ‘Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?'”
Beck’s tirade lasted for several minutes and he appeared to be having fun mocking an 11-year-old girl. Perhaps the worst part is that Beck’s double standards came to light. Beck gave a very spirited interview with Sarah Palin a while back in which he defended the issue of family and how the media should respect family.
“Leave my family, leave people’s families alone … When it was Bill Clinton, you don’t go after Chelsea Clinton. You don’t talk about the Bush kids. Now the minute they get into politics, that’s a different story. You leave families alone,” Beck said in the interview.
Perhaps Beck had one too many before his show or his common sense finally returned, but he realized he screwed up and issued an apology.
“In discussing how President Obama uses children to shield himself from criticism, I broke my own rule about leaving kids out of political debates. The children of public figures should be left on the sidelines. It was a stupid mistake and I apologize – and as a dad I should have known better,” he said in a statement.

"Daddy…..Daddy…..have you pluged the dam hole yet daddy?" – I think I doubled this guys viewership by watching the clip. Get a life!
I say let Beck keep on doing what he's doing.. he's only hurting the republicans!
yeah right he's mocking a poor 11 year old girl leave kids alone mock obama if he has to
you are disgusting!!! grow up you mean -spirited jackass!!!!!
Glenn Beck is a super jerk! Who does that to an eleven year old girl? I guess attacking the president through his young daughter makes him feel like a "big man". What an idiot!!!!
Glenn Beck once again proves his own level of intelligence………or rather his own ignorance!!!
When is someone going to plug the hole in Beck? He should be wishing it was done before he opened is idiotic hole in his face. What the hell does he expect an 11-year-old child to say to her father when asking a simple question? It is a friggin HOLE dumb ass! How else would the oil be pumping out? A HOLE is drilled out to make a path to remove the oil. Plug the HOLE in your face dumb ass!
btw…Pissed off NOT because of any political views I may or may not have! Pissed off that the dumb ass in you attacked a defenseless 11-year-old child! Is this the only way you could find to feel good about yourself? Did it feel like a victory of something?
I hope you lose sponsors for your show so bad it's like a never ending black bottomless HOLE for your bottom line!
You're a frigging IDIOT!
If there is justice in the universe I feel sorry for Glenn Beck.
Interesting… Where in this story is the part where Beck imitated Malia asking why daddy hates black people so much, and the sidekick imitated Obama saying Because I'm Half White…. Nice soft sell CNN..
don't believe his apology, Glen Beck is a racist running scarred because we finally have an intelligent present and the world will change. Sorry Glenn, the days of hanging black people in the trees and taking pictures with your kids present then hiding behind a bible at church are over!!!!
This guy is a fu—–ing idot. Ignorant people say and do ignorant things. This speaks volumes about his charcter and the people who support him.
Start acting your age and not your shoe size. I question Becks own level of intelegence. This is his true feelings. How do you apologize for this? and then to think , its just another day to blame Obama, for using his own daughter to shield him from critism. Well did it work?
Way to go……….Glenn
It is what it is…a silly man making a silly statement.
I will still watch Glenn Beck, no one is perfect. Like the president often portrays himself. I get what Beck then says about the president hiding behind children to look like he is such a caring guy. Like when he signed the health care bill. Was I suppose to feel better because of the kid standing next to him. How many young children listen to Glenn Becks radio show? None. Now democrats can feel the frustration that conservatives felt with the media constantly bashing president bush and his family. If he was black they would have held back a little, maybe. Everyone still loves Letterman after his far worse comments on Sarah Palins child, but that was Sarah Palin who gives a c__p. Liberal shows like this made no big fuss over alot of other questionable happenings and comments that liberals and liberal supporters have made. One person who talks alot of c__p on their show is that Oberman guy on MSN. At least Beck makes sense of what he says and gets the facts.
From a Hispanic Mother of two. Better say something nice and not seem like a hater of hispanics.
Glen Beck, I guess you finally decided to let your true racist side. Not long ago you said to leave other people families alone during your interview with Sarah Palin, you named Chelsea and The Bush girls but I guess you felt it was okay to mock the President and his family since they are black.
You are not sorry and the only reason you apologized is because of the complaints, it no one had complained you would have never issued an apologized.
You are a sorry, racist SOB.
This is not an apology! He claims the President uses his children to shield from critisism! Glen Beck is a racist ass hole!

Glenn beck’s mocking of an 11 year old child shows his level of intelligience. I have ne ver liked him or had any respect for his views. Now I find him despicable and hope he gets into serious trouble with the network. I don’t believe his apology is sincere. I think he should just wear his white sheet and show his true self.
Oh no, remember when your guy said Palin's 11 yo daughter was raped in the Yankees dugout?Where were you then. double standards!
Kinda sounds like you hate Glen Beck
You are an ignorant, horrid, spiteful, bigoted little man. I feel sorry for your family.
Becky's Panty Roast Buffet "Glenn"dugh Becky….hummmmmmm?…AKA Glenn Beck "How should I roast this piece of ghost toast?…." I think I'll just use the Cock Roach Approach Bend over Becky….deez nuts got wheels Plugging butt holes with plat formed heels…… You're slinging mud at an innocent Child? Just another episode of 'Pusseh KKKats Gone Wild.. Well, BlackPantha1 likes to keep it real… I'd Like to take you offshore…. and "grill, baby grill…" First I'd take your nuts and tuck'em up your chin, Watch you "Be Pee" yourself,..and grin baby grin! I dont know what the hell you've been snortin"….. But that "dunk" you took?… was the opposite of Jordan! That brick was so bad ….we could'nt even give it a name Just posted your pic on the wall of shame!.. For all the Mothers and Fathers who feel betrayed… Welcome to Becky's Panty Roast ……….Buffet!
Why is everyone so surprised? Glenn Beck (& his buddies Rush, Sean, Sarah, etal) are not exactly "practice what you preachers". These people are malicious, despicable, divisively spiteful personalities who make big bucks from being ugly…period. Glenn Beck obviously fully enjoyed making fun of an 11 year old child, especially the President's 11 year old child…and I'm sure this is tame stuff for this guy. He and his friends are capable of much greater viciousness than this…and no, folks, I'm not a dirty liberal…I'm a reasonably conservative independent who is bone weary of these nasty-mouthed idiots…aren't you? If not, you should be.
This shook me to my core and I weep for Malia Obama..
A stoop to this level of stupidity was approached by Glenn Beck with unsettling ease and familiarity. Hopefully all the die-hard Beck fans will see him for what he is. "The Good Book" says 'Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.' Beck deserves every second of criticism he gets from this planned display of juvenile behavior. Way to go Beck. Now, get back on your bicycle and ride home.
Tough…get "Daddy" outa the white house….and no problemos…do us all a favor!!! Please…He doesn't care and does not care about Las Vegas he has almost destroyed, bad mouthed the US overseas…Who needs him????? Give him back to his 2 kids…we don't want him…

Glen Beck is one stupid ignorant man. LOL. How desperate is he when he belittles himself and mark an 11 yr old. Give me a break. Where is his intelligent level? On air he looks like a fool.
He couldn't find anything to talk about so acted like a jerk and marked a child.
