Pleasant Surprise: President Apologizes

After a prolonged period of presidential arrogance and lack of accountability, Barack Obama's apology is refreshing...
President Barack Obama has apologized for a gaffe in which he described his bowling skills as akin to participants in the Special Olympics, a sports program for people with intellectual disabilities.
Obama made the mistake during an interview Thursday night on "The Tonight Show" with host Jay Leno, the first time a sitting U.S. president had been on a late-night U.S. TV talk show.
Talking about living in the White House, Obama said he had been practicing his bowling in the residence's bowling alley and had scored a 129 score out of a possible 300. "It's like -- it was like Special Olympics or something," Obama said.
Soon after the Jay Leno interview, Obama telephoned Special Olympics chairman Tim Shriver to apologize.
