Barack Says His Bowling Is Special

On the Tonight Show, Barack Obama proved he needs a teleprompter. Left to his own cleverness he attempted what he believed was a funny remark.

He said he had been working on his bowling game just below his new residence and recently rolled a 129.

“That’s very good, Mr. President,” responded Leno .

"It's like — it was like Special Olympics, or something," the president replied.

Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton told reporters that Obama had “made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics.”

Really? And exactly how was he making fun of his own bowling without disparaging the Special Olympics? If he was saying he bowls funny by comparing it to the event for the handicapped, then he must think their activities and conditions are humorous also. Otherwise the analogy makes no sense as a comical, "offhanded" description of his game.

And where is the outcry from the left? The silence is deafening.
