Well, well...it seems the high and mighty one compared his poor bowling score to the likes of the scores from the Special Olympics. Nice...there's that old familiar class-warfare that liberals say they never induce! So, a bad score is like the special olympics or something, eh? His ever-present ego and condescending attitude is more and more present every time he speaks.
If a conservative would have said something like this; they would have been drawn and tortured by the press. I know some disabled folks...and they ARE insulted.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - In his first appearance on a US late night talk show since his election as president, Barack Obama made a joke about his bowling prowess that fell flat, and may have insulted disabled people.
Asked by chat show king Jay Leno about the White House bowling alley -- after Obama famously flopped at the 10-pin sport during his presidential campaign last year -- the president said he had been practicing.
"I bowled a 129," he said to laughter from the "Tonight Show" audience.
"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.
It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president replied.
The White House was quick to downplay the joke, hoping the gaffe would not overshadow Obama's two-day trip to unemployment-blighted California where he made an unorthodox sales pitch for his sweeping recovery and budget plans.
"The president made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics," White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One on the flight back to Washington.
