On March 20, President Obama appeared on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno and used the occasion to ridicule the lame and disabled in what now appears to be an unwitting preview of the Dark Side of ObamaCare.
As reported, in part, at MTV +:
"President Barack Obama's appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" Thursday night was memorable for a number of reasons: Their conversation ranged from the controversial AIG bonuses to "American Idol," and the president joked around quite a bit. However, one of those jokes has gotten the president into hot water.
"When asked about the bowling alley in the White House, Obama joked to Leno that his average score of 129 'was like the Special Olympics or something.' Although, neither Leno or Obama seemed bothered by the comment during the show, the White House issued a statement apologizing for it before the show aired."
Back then, the president enjoyed extraordinarily high approval ratings and seemed untouchable.
However, six months later and following his dismal performance in Copenhagen last week, it is Obama's judgment, rather than his bowling, that is suspect.
Perhaps the "Special Olympics" is more your speed when it comes to diplomacy and judgment, Mr. President?
