Needless to say no exceptions are made for people with mental or physical disabilities; I’ve repeatedly winced at the “short bus” comments on the Huffington Post message boards. So it should come as no surprise that on the Leno show last night, our president referenced the Special Olympics in describing his low bowling score.
In the Christian Science Monitor, Jimmy Orr writes:
In a lighthearted conversation, President Obama told Jay Leno that he recently bowled a 129 at the White House bowling alley.
“Very good,” Leno said sarcastically.
“It was like Special Olympics or something,” Obama replied.
Who knows? Maybe Obama’s gaffe will serve as a wake up call for the pied piper and his followers who continue to receive email alerts in his ongoing campaign. The rest of us are asking, “When will the governance begin?”
