Advice from Special Olympic bowler to President Obama
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – The top bowler for the Special Olympics looks forward to meeting President Barack Obama in an alley.”He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily,” Michigan’s Kolan McConiughey (KO-lahn Mc-KAHNA-he) told The Associated Press in an interview Friday.
The athletic-minded president made an offhand remark Thursday on “The Tonight Show” comparing his weak bowling to “the Special Olympics or something.” He quickly apologized and told the Special Olympics chairman he wants to have some of its athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.
McConiughey, who is mentally disabled, is just the bowler for the job. He’s bowled five perfect games since 2005.
The 35-year-old McConiughey has been bowling since he was 8 or 9. His advice for Obama? Practice every day.

There you go. A mentally disabled person can bowl better than the President (as well as most mentally enabled persons). Frankly, I’d trust mentally disabled persons more than I would Presidents on some issues!
