Come on now. OK, so the president made on off-color joke on Jay Leno's show. It is a comedy show. Are we getting so retarded in this country that no one can take a joke. Cut him some slack.
Mr. Shriver, if words to matter then try these, "Shut the F up!"

Obama apologizes for remark
After comparing his bowling to the Special Olympics on "The Tonight Show" Thursday, President Obama called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to apologize before the program even aired. “He expressed his disappointment and he apologized, in a way that was very moving,” Shriver said on ABC's “Good Morning America.” “It’s important to see that words hurt, and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seen as humiliating or a put-down of people with special needs do cause pain, and they do result in stereotypes."
