POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

President Obama has more to worry about than apologizing for remarks made on Jay Leno's talk show Thursday. After referring to his own bowling score as "like the Special Olympics or something," he's earned himself a nice challenge.

Top Special Olympics bowler Kolan McConiughey, 35, who has been bowling since age 8 or 9 and has bowled five perfect games in the last four years, is asking Obama to put his money where his mouth is:

    "He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily."

Looks like Obama, who recently invited the athletes to bowl at the White House, has some real competition. McConiughey has only one bit of advice for the President: "Practice everyday."

Honestly.
I think this isn't as big of a deal as it should be.
People make fun of the Special Olympics everyday. And when he said something, he was just refering to himself, not actually critizing the Special Olympics. But it would be fun to watch them bowl :]

I think a good way to apologize might actually be to take up the challenge to show you didn't mean to be offensive and he was just being playful and I think it would be a good way to reach out to that section of our country.

That is so crazy! It's really sad that people are so damn sensitive these days. You can't talk about anything. People need to get over themselves. Obama obviously didn't mean the remark in a negative or degrading way and I could tell as soon as he said it he realized he was going to catch hell for it later. Being the President has it's perks but it has it drawbacks as well and this is definitely an example of one of the drawbacks.

Whether Obama said that as offensive or not doesn't matter. What matters is that disabled people get put down a LOT by many people, and it's about time they fought back. I say good on McConiughey for standing up and being willing to have a competition.

This should surely show people that being disabled isn't a drawback, that people who are disabled aren't any less equal than others, and can excel in some areas that other people can't.

I hope McConiughey will win. I'm sure he WILL win, having previously scored five perfect games.

My brother is special-needs, and what I think is anytime you're in the spotlight, you're inevitably gonna say something really bad about someone somewhere, and being the President obviously makes it way worse than any other celebrity. I think that anyone can slipup, I just think Obama has to work on it. Obviously I'm not happy with what he said, and I don't in any way think it's okay, but I think we should give him another chance, considering the good things he's done. Screw him if he says something like that again though, you know?
But go Kolan!

I don't think that President Obama meant it in the way that it was taken...things like that just slip out of our mouths sometimes. It happens to everyone eventually; it just so happened that it was on public television when it happened to our President. It doesn't make him any less of a person.
