An American Lion

One of the things that I know is that, if this were 2008 and if George W Bush were President and had said and done this, a million screaming liberals would have howled like terrible banshees to the far ends of the planet:

Appearing on "The Tonight Show," 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. The he rolled a gutter ball by quipping:

"It was like the Special Olympics or something." The audience laughed, but the White House quickly recognized the blunder. 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. "

He expressed his disappointment and he apologized in a way that was very moving. He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population," Shriver said Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America." Obama, Shriver said, wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Making fun of retards? Not a smart thing to do. Someone needs to call Congress up and tell them to hold hearings and make people sweat over this.
