President Obama exhibited the power of words during his recent appearance with Jay Leno. The comment that was made with regards to the Special Olympics was clearly unscripted.
While joking on The Tonight Show about his bowling skills (during last year's campaign trail he shamefully scored 37 in a game), Obama said he'd been practicing at the White House.
He told Jay Leno that he bowled 129 in the White House bowling alley and said his bowling skills are "like Special Olympics or something."
Special Olympics president Lum was quoted saying what Obama said on The Tonight Show adds to the discussion that's needed to raise awareness and has proven "an incredibly important and seriously teachable moment." From playgrounds to the "top rungs of our leadership, including our president," he said Americans have plenty to talk about and learn when it comes to stereotypes and how words can sting.
Not only should Americans take this advice seriously, the rest of the World should listen. People make mistakes, and we can forgive Barack Obama.
