Thoughts & Commentary on the Obama Administration

[Seamus Fermanagh]

So Obama made a joke about the special Olympics, in relation to his bowling skills:

A bowler for the special olympics, who's bowled five perfect games since 2005, says he can beat the president "easily":

But really, a special oylmpics joke? That's pathetic.

CR

All too common as a kind of joke actually. Parent's joking at the bus stop when the "short bus" drives by; comments made when the local "donate your car" charity that provides services for such folks comes on the radio; etc.

Obama's joke was tasteless, but far from uncommon.

It does serve to reinforce that, when off "script," he is prone to a few malapropisms and verbal gaffes. Dubya was even more cumbersome with the off-the-cuff stuff, but Obama seems determined to catch up.
