Special Olympics walkback
That didn't take long.
Burton, on the plane: "Good afternoon. The President made an offhand remark making fun of his own bowling that was in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics. He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world."

(The bowling comment was a reminder of his poor performance on the lanes last year during one of his campaign stops. Obama bragged on "The Tonight Show" that he recently bowled 129 on the White House alley. "It's like Special Olympics," he said.)
