Seen this video of Obama playing basketball with Clark Kellogg?
I just love this, Obama is so cool, funny, honest, and yes he can shoot those 3 pt shots! cracks me up with the talk while they're playing and he really gets laughing.
Clark Kellogg is a class act too.

4. Saw it at halftime
of the Butler-Michigan State game.And it looked like the men were having fun. But I do have one question; why were they wearing dress shoes and suits? I mean just because he's the leader of the free world doesn't mean he can't dress for sports. And let's face it folks, Kellogg was a very good college player and by rights should have smoked Obama in basketball.
And when are the repukes going to attack this and what tactic will they use? Because you know someone like limbaugh, beck, billo or someone will find fault somewhere. Besides the attire I mean. In actuality, I'm looking forward to any attacks on the HORSE game because it merely makes them (the righties) look stupid(er).

10. lol yeah about the suit shirts and the tie but I guess he has to be on the job
or something. At the end Obama says Kellogg missed some shots on purpose, which was kinda obvious.
Jus loved how the prez stepped up his game and started rainin' in those outside shots. cool under pressure. some well deserved laughs got me laughing too.

and some people will call him an idiot no matter what he does and you're right, that just reflects badly on them.

15. He had a "sit-down" interview with Harry Smith...
of The Early Show that had nothing to do with hoops. I did watch the interview and most of the first game. How bout them Bulldogs! Duke will wipe the floor with them because they don't have an answer to Duke's Large Three.

8. Well if everybody in the House and Senate had the same POV as Dennis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders
Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 06:15 PM by high density
the law that Obama signed a couple of weeks ago would have a different look to it. I am not going to blame him for the weaknesses of the legislative branch.

Obama is doing the best he can with the system we've got. I enjoyed watching him play "POTUS"-- though the basketball with the WH seal on it was a bit much.

9. Why would it exasperate you?
It's not a matter of being "dazzled" or of "personal awsomeness" - it was just fun watching two people enjoying themselves. Nothing more - nothing less...
