Obama throws a gutter ball
Our smooth-talking commander-in-chief has made yet another blunder. This time Mr. Obama takes aim at Special Olympians. In a late night interview with the Tonight Show’s Jay Leno, Obama compares his bowling skills to that of Special Olympians.
It didn’t take long for White House staffers to begin damage control. On his way back to Washington aboard Air Force One, Obama called the chairman of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver, to say he was sorry.
“He expressed his disappointed and he apologized in a way that was very moving. He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population,” Shriver said Friday on ABC’s Good Morning America. “Obama wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.”
Great. The President of the United States has bashed Special Olympic athletes on national televeision and now he wants to humiliate them further by inviting them to the White House to bowl with him, to make himself feel better about his own score.
It’s true, the comment isn’t that big of a deal. Unless you’re the President. George W. would have been impeached for such behavior!
