President Obama showed up for Jay Leno’s show and was actually funny. Even with the economy in the tank, the President and Jay cracked some jokes, talked about jailing people and made fun of the Special Olympics.
More pictures after the gaffes and laughs…
The President talked about the economy and ways that it would, could and shoulda been fixed. Did anybody believe him? And then Jay mentioned the crooks who took handouts and paid bonuses should do jail time. That got real applause. Then Obama joked about his bowling game and said even the Special Olympics wouldn’t take him. Ouch. From Swamp Politics:
LENO: Now, are they going to put a basketball — I imagine the bowling alley has been just burned and closed down.THE PRESIDENT: No, no. I have been practicing all — (laughter.)
LENO: Really? Really?
THE PRESIDENT: I bowled a 129. (Laughter and applause.)
LENO: No, that’s very good. Yes. That’s very good, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something. (Laughter.)
LENO: No, that’s very good.
THE PRESIDENT: No, listen, I’m making progress on the bowling, yes.
Put yourself in the shoes of an intellectually disabled kid hearing that coming from a president’s mouth, maybe a child whose highest aspiration is to participate in the Special Olympics.
Welllll, other than that it was witty, entertaining and a little bit informative. Did you watch?

During the campaign for the White House in 2008, the media criticized Palin for being ‘common,’ and ‘not presidential.’ However, compare Sarah Palins attitude in this video created three weeks ago for the Special Olympics in Boise, Idaho.
