Special Olympics asks Obama to consider hiring athlete

By GottaLaff

Speaking of remorse, I'd like to see Bush apologize for his fraudulent war and all the deaths for which he is responsible. But that will never happen. It's much more important that the media keep recycling President Obama's one-liner... the one for which he apologized before it even aired.

Now we have this. What do you think? Will Prez O bite:

The Special Olympics organization is calling on President Obama to "consider" hiring one of their athletes to work in the White House, following the president's reference to the organization during his Thursday night appearance on The Tonight Show.

“In so doing, he could help end misperceptions about the talents and abilities of people with intellectual disabilities, and demonstrate their dignity and value to the world," Timothy Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics, said in a statement released Friday morning.

Based on his past responses to various uproars, it could be that he will follow up with a hire. And that could be a win-win situation.
