Amid criticism for straying off task, President Barack Obama appeared last night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In a slip of speech, he joked that his bowling was so bad it was "like the Special Olympics." Since the gaffe, the White House has issued an apology and Obama has received criticism across the board.

"He thinks the Special Olympics is a wonderful program that gives an opportunity for people with disabilities from around the world," said White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton.
