LOL! recommended

Shoulda won by more given all the time and energy he invested. Why couldnt he close the deal with a shutout?

Thank goodness Indiana isn't a bowling state

I hope he takes his game to NC. Not that I'm worried about NC, but it can't hurt to pad his popular vote. Kentucky, too.

Do you: Take that rock to the hole Barack,

Hilary's got the basketball jones...the basketball jones!

Not a bad choice of t-shirts, either. But then, I may be a little biased...

1849 that weird link about white men and basketball is really out of touch. I've lived in the burbs all my life, I'm 52 years old and there are millions of white men like me who play basketball in this country two or three times a week in rec leagues, in park district pick up games or just by wandering down to a local court to get in a game.

Running on a treadmill is boring. Much more fun to work up a sweat running up and down the court and there's always the camaraderie of playing with your buds and hanging out for a few beers afterward too.

Perhaps it is a weird link because it isn't mainstream media and it focuses on audiences and ideas generally overlooked by online and mainstream media. Perhaps a better name for it is a niche market.

Just for the record, I can't play basketball that well but I know how to bowl--I bowled in a league. Obama should play to his strengths and avoid bowling. If he and I had a bowl-off I think I would bowl him over. If he and I played basketball, he would probably shoot my lights out.

yes this pretty much sums up the race..hillary is enaging large issues, nationally, while obama toils in obscurity on the trail.

where oh where did the inspirational rallies go? why the reluctance to answer questions...may i just eat my waffle, i just dunked on somebody...

this cult of personality is beginning to wear thin for many americans

I'm grateful his staff didn't put him out on the court wearing his traditional white shirt and tie.

In reality, I've been begging his people to have some photo ops of him on the court. It's a perfect entree to the Reagan Dems.

1849 Hell I don't play basketball that well and I probably played only about a dozen times before the age of thirty. Hence there's no childhood muscle memory in my shot which is ugly as hell. But I learned the game, anticipate well and can run, play good defense, rebound, pass and enjoy the game.

OTH I haven't bowled since 1984.

I agree Obama should play to his strengths but my point here is Obama isn't any less mainstream in his choice of recreational exercise than millions of other white, black, yellow and brown people in this country.

BTW what does it cost to bowl for an evening? it costs about $35 in my town to play basketball twice a week for an eight week session in a junior high gym thru the park district. That's less than $2 a night. Bowling is lot more expensive than that isn't it? Elitist sport! ;-)

I tend to think of Barack as being culturally caucasian because his exposure to culture in his formative years was, primarily, among caucasians.

Further, I think that in Chicago, Barack found and got in touch with his blackness.

For a person being raised in one culture, while being treated as if he was raised in the other, can be confusing for the individual. All these cheap shots the opposition is throwing are based on racial stereotypes and are not necessarily reflective of Barack's mindset.
