A bowling phenom in the Special Olympics has just challenged Prez Barack Obama to a White House roll-off ... and he'll probably kick Barack's butt.
Kolan McConiughey, a Special Olympics competitor who has bowled three perfect 300 games, tells TMZ that the Prez has to score a lot higher than 129 to beat him. Kolan says he bowls an average of 266.
Play VideoKolan -- who works at a grocery store in Ann Arbor, Mich. -- said he'd love to go to the White House to beat Barack on his own lane. Kolan said, "He's cool, but he can't beat me."
We posed the challenge to the White House. They said "no comment."

Obama was probably lying about the 129 (it was probably really 29).
Now maybe this fine young man would like to “take on the TOTUS” - might be a better match !

That is PR gold for Zero especially when Zero loses the bowling match. His acolytes will see him as a down to earth, self-effacing guy who is just like them.

What a beautiful story! But, LottieDah is correct: Such a match might be PR gold for the president.

Actually, this would be a great photo op for Obama. Wouldn’t be surprised if his handlers call Mr. McConiughey.

Yeah, but he is probably too narcisistic to lower himself to a match with this man.

Zero doesn’t need any more golden PR. He needs to be trounced, pilloried and insulted for his gaffes.

That is until Obama whines and stamps out of the room... which will be cut from what the media shows everyone. [/cynic]

Liberalism is an acknowledged mental disorder. Books have been written on the topic, therefore Liberals should qualify for the Special Olympics.
Obama IS a Liberal as I recall.

Isn’t it ironic that instead of a Vice President who would have supported special needs kids, instead we got a President who makes fun of them?

If he can get good press out of it, Zero will do it in a heartbeat. His inner circle is probably planning something right now.

I always said that Zero can kill and dismember his own daughters and toss their bodies into a cheering crowd. Later on the press will report how Zero saved us from his destructive, dangerous children.

I think this would be great. TWO special olympians in a bowling contest. Ya, Obama is a retard. And I just bet that Obama’s EGO would not let him do this. Mr. thin skin

Obama hates the handicapped, that’s why he loves abortion so much.

Barack is more handicapped than the entire Special Olympics combined. That’s probably why they make him so nervous.

Hussein would be wise to take this guy on, lose gracefully, and look like a winner. He won’t.

Hes cool?! WTF The fellow who thinks Zero is "cool" has Down Syndrome.
I expect a lot of "unconditional love" from such folks. I don't expect a lot of sound, rational judgment.

Awwww! His determined angry face after he bowls a strike is just plain adorable. Not that he wants to be considered adorable, but I’m saying I could really enjoy watching him play!

“Hes cool, but he cant beat me.”
Kolan is a better diplomat than Obama...
That’s why he threw Obama the ‘he’s cool’ bone followed by “but he cant beat me.”
LOL!
Retarded?
If Kolan’s ‘disabled’ what does that make Bammy?
