Offbeat, U.S.: A Special Olympian just dared Obama. It’s on now!

  • He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily.
  • Kolan McConiughey • One of the top Special Olympian bowlers in the world. Dude’s bowled five perfect games since 2005, which totally puts Obama (and most of the rest of us) to shame. Obama’s first major verbal slip-up of his presidency doesn’t even make sense when talking about this dude. • source

Culture, U.S.: Obama’s Leno appearance may have blown up in his face

  • The president made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics. He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world.
  • White House spokesman Bill Burton • Regarding an offhand remark Obama made on “The Tonight Show” comparing his bowling abilities to a Special Olympics athlete. *forehead slap* Nice damage control, Bill. • source
