“The first appearance by a sitting president on “The Tonight Show” may well end up being the last.
President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he’s gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.
He bowled a 129, the president said.
“That’s very good, Mr. President,” Leno said sarcastically.
It’s “like the Special Olympics or something,” the president said.
When asked about the remark, the White House said the president did not intend to offend.”
No of course not. He simply forgot the teleprompter, and you know what happens when he gets off script, yuk, yuk..
Yuk, yuk..

1Only three years and 10 months to go before we can vote these clowns out.
Nothing like putting 3 year olds in charge of the Head Start program.
