3. They went to a military base, didn't they?

Played for some wounded soldiers, something like that, iirc. It never did get a bit of publicity. I really don't see how the media can't see that they're tearing this guy apart in a way they never did to Bush.

4. You're right, sandnsea..thanks for asking & clearing

that up for us. :hi:

It did make the wapo with this article..

"Every hoops fan dreams of that one special birthday when his pro-ball heroes gather on a court to see if he's got game.

President Obama had that chance Sunday, assembling a virtual dream team of college and pro basketball players for a presidential pickup game in front of wounded veterans and participants in a White House mentoring program.

Obama, who turned 49 on Wednesday, took to the court for a game with a stunning list of all-stars, including Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Derek Fisher, LeBron James, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Maya Moore, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Bill Russell, Etan Thomas, Dwyane Wade and David West. The game was closed to the media.

Kobe Bryant was there but didn't play, according to the White House, and aides provided no details about the game, which took place at Fort McNair in the District, where Obama often plays basketball with friends.

The presidential motorcade of black SUVs returned to the White House after about two hours for an evening barbecue on the South Lawn. Reporters could see grills being set up on the grass.

The White House provided few details about the festivities but confirmed that the president and his guests would be dining on shrimp harvested from the Gulf of Mexico."

Another CHEERLEADER FOR OUR PREZ..:bounce::bounce:

The corporatemedia knows exactly what it's doing to President Obama..it's rare when they report without stupid ugly rumors.

The pro left(thanks Gibbs) knows exactly what its doing too.
