I'll Bet That President Obama Shows Up At The Next Special Olympics
Edited on Thu Mar-19-09 09:29 PM by MannyGoldstein
Who wants to bet against me?

All of us do dumb stuff. The thing that distinguishes the best people is that they own up to their mistakes and get to work to fix any damage.

13. Some will think that there is...so that is their perception...
...and that perception is their reality...and their reality can lead to someone being hurt. Therefore, the President will want to make it right in order to correct their perception. He'll do it whether he needs to or not, because he cares about people and doesn't want to hurt anyone no matter how inadvertently. It's no big deal to me, but it might be to someone else. Our guy is a nice guy...so watch. He'll make it right.

11. You assume he would only do it for that. I say he would have done it regardless.
Bush is the one who would show up for the photo-op.

12. I'll bet you double or nothing he hugs every Olympian in the joint!
One thing about the guy, if he screws up, he makes up for it post haste.

There'll probably have been a party for Special Olympians at the White House by this time next week.

Add to that the fact that THIS guy loves Obama now...



... and he's married to this lovely lady...



who also adores the President and SHE is the daughter of THIS wonderful woman....



who ... YEP! you guessed it! Founded the Special Olympics!



This will be fixed, not to worry. ;)

18. That was my first thought as well. He's going to turn this around so that
the Special Olympics people will be thrilled, eventually, about his comment, because it's going to result in a lot of positive attention for them.

I'd bet on it.
