Maria Shriver says President Barack Obama's joke comparing his poor bowling score to that of a Special Olympics athlete was hurtful, although she is sure he didn't mean it that way.
California's first lady issued a statement Friday, a day after the president made the gaffe on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Obama later called Maria's brother, Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver, to apologize.
The siblings' mother, Eunice Kennedy-Shriver, founded the Special Olympics and has championed the rights of the mentally retarded.

George Allen “didn’t mean it that way” either.
That’s a FEMALE cow....you need a BULL doing that...LOL!
The Leno show is rehearsed, so I am going with "yes"!
It shows what a CHILD he is.....a CLASSLESS CHILD.
That's true -- but we must keep in mind Alinsky's rules -- hold your opponent accountable for all of his own rules. The Democrats want to play "politically correct"? Then they need to be hammered -- HAMMERED -- every time they make a slip.
As for me? I can talk about someone being a spaz. I don't subscribe to rules about political correctness -- so I'm good to go! And anyone who gives me a hard time is a freakin' retard.
Aren’t all cows female?
They would’ve hung him from the yardarm.
BEST POST OF THE DAY!
YOU ROCK.
Take that, Bambi!
As a matter of fact, lots of special olympians bowl better than he does.
“As a matter of fact, lots of special olympians bowl better than he does.”
I suspect that a fair number of special olympians could run the U.S. economy better than Obama as well.
yeah.....one doesn’t say that cow sh@t....do they??
Eunice “championed the rights” of special olympians? Too bad she didn’t do anything to support drowning women trapped in cars!
Hey Maria - he’s your “boy”... do something about it...
RE: “Will Maria Shriver and the rest of the Kennedy clan shove him overboard and start speaking the truth about TOTUS”

Surely you jest!!! Did you see Arnie fawning over Zero yesterday at that town hall near L.A.??? All those people will prop Bambi up no matter what....disgusting!
Who invented PC and who uses it to take our free speech away?
RE” “....Every moment of former Senator Obama’s public life disgusts me; I just hope he finds a cute (or chubby) intern soon to take his mind off of destroying the country.
Note to any Freepers working in the White House: Look around for an intern with “nice arms” and low standards; steer her Obama’s way. Let’s see if we can distract the former Senator from his socialist agenda.”

Hmmm.... can the intern be a “male?” Just asking....
Political correctness is the reason making fun of people with special needs is viewed unfavorably? That’s odd, because I thought it was more about practicing common sense than about being PC. Wrong is wrong, and the fact the President literally supports babies being killed after they enter the womb makes it appear this latest gaffe wasn’t an accident.
Did you see Arnie fawning over Zero
I turn off the TV whenever I see TOTUS on the tube
