John-John Fenster, two-time Special Olympic fencing gold medalist and team co-captain, continues to apologize for comparing his dismal leadership ability during last year's games with those of President Barack Obama's first days in office.
Fenster said he was a terrible team captain and his leadership skills "were like I was Obama, or something," during the live Special Tonight Show. The statement drew laughter from the studio audience, but fell under the hot media spotlight.
"You know, it's just something I said, a joke, you know, that I wasn't much of a captain," said Fenster. "And then it's all this, you know."
