Special Is As Special Does - “Obama apologizes for gaffe”

Friday, March 20th, 2009

According to Reuters- “President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.”

Are you wondering what I am wondering? Is Obama going to be the late night humor replacement for the ever so intelligent President George Bush? I hope not, I like Obama and want to continue my ever so yummy love affair with him (don’t let him know, it will spoil the fun).

So the story goes like this, while being interviewed by the charming Jay Leno, Obama describes his bowling skills as such, “It’s like — it was like Special Olympics or something,”. I guess his PR folks didn’t prep him before hand.

Now Obama did apologize - but you know what they say about hindsight, ” You should never need it”.
