In the wake of President Barack Obama's insensitive gaffe on Thursday's "Tonight Show," a Special Olympics bowler, with a staggering 266 average, has marvelously challenged the current White House resident to a match.

Such was first briefly reported by TMZ Friday, with an elaboration by the Detroit Free Press Saturday:

On Friday, a Special Olympian from Ann Arbor fired back: "I can beat the president."

Kolan McConiughey has rolled five perfect games in his life -- including a 300 last fall in Lansing while competing in the Special Olympics.

Below the fold is a truly heart-warming video about McConiughey:

If Obama has any character, he'll take Kolan up on this challenge, and promise a sizable donation to the Special Olympics if this remarkable young man beats him.

Stay tuned.
