Here’s one challenge President Obama may not want to tackle.
A day after Obama compared his poor bowling abilities to that of a disabled athlete, Kolan McConiughey, a Special Olympics competitor who has bowled three perfect 300 games, wants to take on the commander-in-chief.
McConiughey, who is developmentally disabled, told the celebrity Web site TMZ.com today that Obama has to score a lot higher than 129 to beat him.
“He’s cool, but he can’t beat me,” McConiughey said.
McConiughey, who has bowled since he was a kid, said he rolls an average score of 266.
McConiughey, 35, said he has also bowled one 299 game and regularly beats his friends.
Even though McConiughey, who works as a grocery store clerk in Ann Arbor, Mich., said he’d love to go to the White House to take on Obama, a White House spokesman had no comment when asked about the challenge.
McConiughey has also won at least 40 Special Olympics medals – including 25 golds – in other sports such as basketball and track and field events.
