2. For some reason, until these pics, I never realized Barack was left-handed.

16. I noticed it the first time I saw him sign his autograph since I'm left-handed, too.

I'm always quick to notice another lefty.

12. I'll try to remember that when I run for President.

At least you didn't blame his shoes on Clinton...

7. That is a great picture!

[no name no slogan]

6. That's crazy. His type of people can't play basketball

I've never seen a politician who can hit a free throw, so this is patently ludicrous.

wait, what?

[BeyondGeography]

10. Reminds me of Rep.Tom McMillen (D-MD), the poor man's Bill Bradley

9. Maybe he can put in a basketball court at the Whitehouse.

That would be kinda cool, huh?

Dignitaries would come from all over the world, and rather sitting in the stuffy oval office - they can go out and shoot hoops while they talk business. I like it! Burn off some of that pent up hostility instead of bombing each other.
Obama just might have the perfect recipe for a peaceful world :)

11. Don't be talking about no basketball!

I've been told that's racist to suggest he plays basketball.

13. Obama's school photos.

[jillan]

17. He looks like such a happy kid - doesn't he?

[AtomicKitten]

18. His up-bringing was unusual to be sure, but he seems like a happy person generally.

[Olney Blue]

14. He is looking very fit!

15. I like the old school Jordans
