Grady Mitchell, a volleyball playing Special Olympian with Down Syndrome, started a new job this week in the Garden Section of Home Depot. It did not go well.

Mitchell, who won a silver medal in Beijing, was greeted, on Monday, with open arms, by coworkers and customers alike; but he left, on Friday, feeling like a complete “Obama”.

“I flooded the patio when I was watering the plants, I screwed up at the cash register, and I managed to overturn a palate of top soil bags in front of the entrance, effectively blocking it. People tried to make me feel better, but it was like they were talking to me as if I was a total Barack-O. Maybe my co-workers were right, and I was just trying to do too much at once.”

Mitchell who confided his concerns to his brother, Steve, over a plate of hot wings while watching the opening round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, went on describing his nightmarish week.

“I watched several of my co-workers stealing from the inventory, and from the till. It was so blatant, and I didn’t even say anything because I was scared of them. It was so emasculating. It was like Obama’s first 60 days rolled into one week.”

“I even fucked up at volleyball practice this week, my teammates kept calling me POTUS and Barry every time I picked the wrong person to go to for important plays.”

Steve tried to convince his younger brother not to be so hard on himself, telling Grady that he was much more competent then our Commander in Chief.

Steve went on to point out that Grady had only blown one pick in the first round of the tournament, “Who picked Western Kentucky over Illinois? You did, that’s who. Remember that before you start calling yourself an Obama. You‘re so much better than that.”

A visibly cheered Grady then finished the last chicken wing and concluded that he, "maybe only, a silver medalist at the Special Olympics but at least {he's}  not a gold medal winning Ass-face at the White House.“
