WASHINGTON (GaeaTimes.com)- It is quite commonplace to see popular Radio Jockeys mimicking eminent political personalities and entertaining the listeners but there are limits for that and some of them cannot remember that. That is precisely what happened to well known radio host Glenn Beck. Last week he, along with his co-host imitated President Barack Obama and his daughter Malia Obama on air which did not go down well with the listeners. The public anger over the issue simply refusing to die down and though the host realized his mistake and issued an apology on his site, things are still in turmoil.

On Thursday the US president told the media that even his 11 year old daughter Malia Obama is affected by the BP oil leak disaster and she asked him whether the issue has been resolved. This topic was picked up by radio host Glenn Beck and his mocking mimicry of the daughter of the US Presidents made the listeners quite angry. He even made racial comments which further provoked and angered the listeners of the show. The way he attacked the intelligence of the daughter of the president was not nice and it may put Fox news in a vulnerable position.

A number of people have already posted angry comments on Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook regarding the racial and offensive comments of Glenn Beck on Malia Obama. They have slammed him saying that he has overstepped his limit and the host should be punished for it. It would not have sounded so bad if he spoofed the President alone but including child was unnecessary and abominable.
