Obama mocks Special Olympics

Hey there, Rob. I thought you might enjoy this story.

After comparing his bowling to the Special Olympics on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, President Obama called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to apologize before the program even aired.

“He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, in a way that was very moving,” Shriver said on ABC's “Good Morning America.” “It’s important to see that words hurt, and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seen as humiliating or a put-down of people with special needs do cause pain, and they do result in stereotypes."

If Fox News makes a whole hearted apology then things won't be so bad. Think they will? Obama at least made an apology before it aired. Everybody makes mistakes. Just have to own up to them.

I've made comments on my goal tending in reference to Special Olympics. But then the opposing goalie actually played Special Olympics and was far better than me.
 
7 year old news? :rolleyes:

Like rom said, he owned it and apologized.

It's more 'but... but Obama/Clinton...'. I guess the RWCJ hold Obama and Clinton up as high ideals to be emulated.
