Well, what do expect a dumb ****** to say?

Was it something about equating his bowling to the special olympics?

When asked about the bowling alley in the White House, Obama joked to Leno that his average score of 129 "was like the Special Olympics or something." Although, neither Leno or Obama seemed bothered by the comment during the show, the White House issued a statement apologizing for it before the show aired.

yeah, he bowled a lousy game and said that it was like he was playing in the special Olympics. To redeem himself, he has invited people with special needs to the White House.

Yeah, but they've been out of there for 60 days. They miss the place.
