“His controversial joke hadn’t even aired yet when President Obama got on the phone from Air Force One Thursday night to apologize for comparing his notoriously bad bowling skills to the Special Olympics.
The president’s late-night gaffe comes as he faces criticism over AIG.”He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, I think, in a way that was very moving,” Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics board, told “Good Morning America” today.
“He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population, certainly didn’t want to embarrass or give anybody any more reason for pain or just suffering, I would say,” said Shriver, who received the call from Obama as the president was flying back to Washington.
“He was very sincere, expressed an interest and an openness in being more engaged in the movement, and said he was a fan of the movement and I think, importantly, he said he was ready to have some of our athletes over to the White House to bowl or play basketball or help him improve his score.”
