Obama is special

Oh, I think you saw this one coming: last night, on the Tonight Show, Obama talked about his bowling performance during the campaign:

Mr Obama made the remark after telling Mr Leno that he had been practising his bowling in the wake of a much-lampooned performance on the campaign trail in 2008.

On that occasion he managed to score just 37 points, a tally that was filmed and widely highlighted during the campaign.

He had improved his score since then, he said, but was still unhappy with his most recent tally of 129 points: "It was like the Special Olympics or something," the president told Mr Leno.

Give you a hint: today Obama did something that rhymes with smapologizing. It can't even be put in the Tiger Woods didn't know it was offensive in the UK category - American president, American audience. Doh!

Actually, my favorite comment was the true special olympics bowler - his name is Kolan McConiughey - who regularly bowls perfect games. He is challenging the president to a match... makes me a little happy when one of my kids (ok, not specifically one of mine, but they are all mine in general) grows up to challenge the president.

Obama should really do this. It would be good for everyone involved. And way better than a rap contest between Steele and Colbert.
