Keep meaning to post this (3894's post regarding the Special Olympics reminded me finally).
We watched Obama's Leno appearance a couple days later and saw the Special Olympics comment for ourselves.
What he did not say was that his terrible bowling score was comparable to the Special Olympics. What he did say was that Jay Leno's jokingly condescending, "No, no, that's really gooood," was like the Special Olympics.
Whether this is better, worse, or equally offensive is another question. But if you do plan on being offended, be sure it's for an accurate reason.
