Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think it will be good 50:50 issue with 50% not liking "Obama considering himself to be good enough bowler to participate in special Olympics" - Republicans would love to use this like "Pig and lipstick" statement of Obama.

Probably. The peril of doing talk shows is the opportunity for gaffes. Obama is a gifted speaker, and any c***k in the armor will probably be exploited.

Personally I am not a fun of Obama. Anyhow he was just making a comment to make fun of himself. The media needs to stop taking every word out of the context to attack a person just for the sake of making a "news".
Same goes rules should be applied to Democrats & Republicans, Old and Young, Men & Women, Christians & Muslims, etc.
Let talk the real important issues !!

I did think that... it was a stupid comment to make.. along the lines of "that is so gay"... I would also bet that some people in Special Olympics bowl at a level comparable to professional bowlers.

Anyways, it's already being covered by the big news agencies... http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/03/president-ob-15.html amongst others.

Hopefully this will just blow over.. it was an off-the-cuff remark that he quickly realized it was a mistake. We don't need to spend a lot of time dwelling on it.

I also think he misinterpreted when Jay Leno made a comment about the 90 percent, and congress... I believe Jay Leno was making a comment about the congress potentially passing a bill to take back 90 percent of the AIG bonuses through a special tax specifically targetting these people. However, Barack seemed to take it as if Jay Leno was making a comment about the 'only increase the taxes of the top 5 percent'.. (not increase taxes on 95 percent of americans) of his policies..
