President Obama Feels Like He Is On American Idol

President Barack Obama made a visit this week to The Tonight Show. In his conversation with Jay Leno, he admitted that being in the White House feels like he is appearing onthe reality TV show American Idol.
He said, “I do think in Washington it is a little bit like American Idol. Except everyone is like Simon Cowell.”
This is Barak Obama’s second time of making history this year. He is not only the first ever African American President, but he is also the first ever President to appear on a late night talk show.
PresidentObama may be feeling more like Simon Cowell than a contestant on American Idolat the moment though. During his conversation with Jay Leno he made a comment that is getting backlash similar to what Simon Cowell receives on a weekly basis.
When asked by Jay Leno if he had used President Bush’s White House bowling alley, he said he had tried but got an embarrassingly low score, saying, “It was like Special Olympics or something.”
The comment sent White House press chiefs into a panic and they issued an immediate statement saying the President had not intended to put down disabled athletes.
President Obama later personally rang Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics, to apologize.
President Obamadefinately isn’t Simon Cowell. Unlike the King of cruelty, Simon Cowell on American Idol, President Obama apoligizes when he sticks his foot in his mouth!
