| Obama apologizes after his comment on Jay Leno
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE0yAEvVsUo Quote:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has apologized to the chairman of the Special Olympics for his late-night talk show quip equating his bowling skills to those of athletes with disabilities.
Appearing on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, the president told host Jay Leno he'd been practicing at the White House's bowling alley but wasn't happy with his score of 129. Then he remarked: "It was like the Special Olympics or something."
The audience laughed, but the White House quickly recognized the blunder. The Special Olympics, founded in 1968, is a global nonprofit organization serving 200 million individuals with intellectual disabilities.
On his way back to Washington on Air Force One, Obama called the chairman of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver, to say he was sorry — even before the taped program aired late Thursday night.
| Obama pulls a "Bush-ism" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushism
I think we can let Obama slide on that one cuz a lot of the people favour him. (BIAS) lol
we forgive you obama we forgive
It's normal for friends to talk like this and joke around. Obama wanted to be funny on the Leno show but people say things they dont mean.
but Would you take offense to this??

Hard to say if I'd be offended because it's a funny comment. It must be tough having to be so careful about everything you say, but Obama is easily forgiven I think

at least he apologized to the chairman of the special olympics before it even aired, it probably would've been worse if it aired and he apologized after realizing what he'd done. the public would probably consider him more of an asshole haha

you can't even fart without offending someone and having to issue an apology
This is in the news only because of his position and constant public awareness.
I make offencive comments on a daily basis and do it without feeling bad in the least.
also , dennis leary's I'm an asshole is a wonderful song  | |

i think everyone is cutting the dude a bit too much slack as a result of their left-over OBAMA! chants.
shouldnt matter who he is...bush, obama, clinton....except for the fact that the president made fun of the special olympics.
