Barack Obama “Sorry” For Special Olympics Joke

President Barack Obama appeared on Leno on Thursday (March 19) in Burback, Calif.

During the show the new President made what some felt was a hurtful joke about the disabled community and the Special Olympics.

He’d said about bowling and his low score:

“…It was like the Special Olympics or something.”

The White House quickly issued a statement and said Obama’s remarks were:

“In no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics.”
