Yes, President Obama made an unfortunate comment on "The Tonight Show" while disparaging his own bowling ability. Hmmmm ...... how many of us have done that, I wonder? Ya ..... all of us.
So we knew what would happen next. Sarah Palin, who is an expert on foreign relations because she can see Alaska from her backyard ..... and evidently is now an expert on Special Olympics because she has a Down Syndrome baby, had to chime in with yet another well thought out comment.
Palin: “I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Palin said in a statement. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world."
According to THE BEAST, Obama's office has tried to clarify his remark since the initial blunder and the president apologized to Special Olympics Chairman Timothy Shriver. Meanwhile, Palin has come under fire this week for refusing stimulus money slated to help special-needs education programs. Her stance on funding for such programs as governor led to attacks during the campaign as well.
