Pre-before and successor-after

[dmr]

31. Well, his predecessor is a fool. I've no pity for him though, just disdain. n/t

[Neurotica]

9. He cracked me up! And I loved the comment about "going to the right"

He was asked about his ability to go the right since he's a lefty.

He said he thought he proved that he could go to his right by meeting with the Republicans yesterday! Then he went back to commenting on his basketball skills. Too funny!

[Clio the Leo]

11. "but I've proven that I'm STRONGER going to my left..."

... you can tell he's been asked that before. ;)

12. And here is the color commentary on the President (via Twitter.)

From "WestWingReport"
http://twitter.com/WestWingReport

The President went to the Georgetown-Duke game at Verizon Ctr.

Obama (a Columbia grad) doesn't appear to be cheering for either Georgetown or Duke. But aide Reggie Love played for Coach K.

With the President today: the VP, Axelrod and Gibbs. Duke & Georgetown are using the game to launch an aid to Darfur pgm.

What $40,000 a year buys Part I: A shirtless Georgetown fan started screaming filthy language after a call in the Duke game (more)

What $40,000 a year buys Part II: Another student screamed @ the 1st guy: "Dude! The President of the United States is sitting right there!"

During a break, a ref came as close to the President as he could get, with a ball. "Sir?" & gestured if Obama wanted to take a shot.

At halftime, the President posed for pictures. Reggie Love, the Duke alum, is sitting elsewhere. (Couldn't stand to be among the Hoyas)

19. He looks so stressed out, LOL

Thanks for the pics. Nice to see him so relaxed and the smiles on Pres. Obama and V.P. Biden are amazing.

[impik]

21. Boy, that smackdown yesterday did him good...

[flpoljunkie]

25. He's not the only one!

:bounce:

[livetohike]

27. It sure did

I think he wanted to do that before now. I don't know why it took one year, but he did a great job and I hope it makes a difference.

[Lochloosa]

22. Mona Sutphen is hot. Barack better be careful. The big M might get a little jealous.

[tishaLA]

18. While people are hungry and all with all that's going on in Haiti?

and how much did the security detail cost to get him there?! Why isn't he doing his job?






oh and do I need it? :sarcasm:

[Elwood P Dowd]

26. Even worse, I heard he slept for over 5 hours last night.

What the hell is he doing sleeping with all the problems we have? George never wasted time sleeping, going to ball games, or taking vacations. He was out there 24/7 defending the Homeland.
