I'm sorry, so sorry

President Barack Obama made a verbal gaffe on The Tonight Show when he made a comment regarding his bowling score and the Special Olympics. He apologized after the taping for the careless comment.

I say stupid stuff all of the time. After all, I am of Italian heritage. It's in my genes. So, I can understand the gaffe.

But I think there is something more to it.

I have often criticized our Commander in Chief because of his inability to articulate a message apart from his TelePrompter. He repeatedly falls back to saying "uh, uh, uh" as he tries to bide time in order to come up with the best possible reply so as to not offend anyone (and I would argue not to commit to anything).

If you watch the video clip, then you will see there is no hesitation on Obama's part when making the comment. He has absolutely no problem attaching his poor bowling scores to those who participate in the Special Olympics. It does not register in his brain that his remark is insensitive and inappropriate.

While it meant absolutely nothing for Obama to speak about the Special Olympics in the manner in which he did on Thursday, it does on Friday. I am sure he learned this lesson and will not be a turkey in the future.
