Obama cracks Special Olympics 'joke' on Leno show
This from Associated Press:
BURBANK, Calif. — President Barack Obama might have rolled a gutter ball on NBC's "The Tonight Show."
Toward the end of the interview on Thursday, Obama told host Jay Leno he's been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129.
Leno complimented Obama on the score, but the president quipped, "It was like the Special Olympics or something," which prompted laughter from the audience.
Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said the president's offhand remark was not meant to disparage the Special Olympics, only to poke some fun at the commander-in-chief's bowling skills......
Not "meant to disparage the Special Olympics?"
How about not meant to be inconsiderate of people who are mentally handicapped and who are seen as stars by their families while they make efforts to perform to the best of their physical abilities?
Oh, wait, this just in...Obama supporters say the president inherited the mentally handicapped people problem from the Bush administration.
The president's supporters went on to say that humor that isn't humorous was also inherited from the Bush administration.
Question: Do you think it was good strategery for Obama to go on Leno?
