Needless to say, he's got the pedigree to take down any layperson when it comes to bowling. We've all seen the footage of our President attempting to bowl, so this would probably be a beatdown of <a href="http://ncaabasketball.fanhouse.com/game/20090319/chattanooga-mocs-vs-connecticut-huskies/200903190129?type=recap">UConn vs. Chattanooga</a> proportions.<blockquote>Kolan said, "He's cool, but he can't beat me."</blockquote> Well, yeah, Kolan. We can see that, but why waste your time? Wouldn't you like someone to at least give you a slight challenge? <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Hillary+Clinton/">Hillary Clinton</a> might not look afool when she bowls. Maybe Vice President <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Joe+Biden/">Joe Biden</a> could come within half of your score? Set your sights higher. <br /><br />All joking aside, inviting McConiughey to the White House and staging a friendly bowl-off is the least Obama could do to help make nice with the mentally and physically challenged of our country. It would also be good politics, which we know he likes, seeing as how he allegedly makes <a href="http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2009/03/20/obamas-ncaa-bracket-lets-go-swing-states/">NCAA Tournament picks based upon swing States</a>. Not only that, it would be really hilarious to watch him get pummeled into submission at his home alley.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://backporch.fanhouse.com/2009/03/20/special-olympics-bowling-champ-challenges-president-obama-to-mat/">Special Olympics Bowling Champ Challenges President Obama to Match</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://backporch.fanhouse.com">Back Porch FanHouse</a> on Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:00:00 EST .
