I could totally see Obama and the Canadian PM playing a game of hoops while discussing NAFTA.

I'm pretty sure the title of "poor man's Scottie Pippen with less talent" has already been claimed by Scottie Pippen.

I used to be in a bowling league back like 12 years ago. We were TERRIBLE. My average was in the 140s. But even our most terrible player, the least athletic person with no skill who literally never improved over the few months we played, still averaged around 80.

Verdict: Obama needs a Wii. There is a marketing opportunity being lost here.

I don't even see why this would even bother someone. Our CIC has a great outlet that keeps him in shape and I guarantee helps relieve stress, why not afford him that luxury. It's better than getting BJs from interns or blowing up other countries, dude just wants to play some roundball.

Do you think that the White House, which employs thousands of people, shouldn't have a gym?

Really, athletic facilities for government employees doesn't strike me as a misuse of tax dollars. I'd be a little shocked if they didn't have one.

Don't think he doesn't realize that? He's willing to take that risk. I think a bit more of the American people.

Afterall, if no one even took a potshot at this A-hole in chief, then I doubt being black is enough to get someone out with a rifle.

OK. He isn't really lying about how much or little he knows about the CFR, he's just that uninformed. Riiiiiight.

I'm sure there are many gym facilities for people in the Administration. The white house staff itself isn't as big as you might think.

Anyway, the more important point is that to appease idiots like Churchill, previous things like the bowling alley were not paid for out of federal funds, rather they were given as gifts carefully vetted so as not to appear as influence-peddling. Apparently he didn't even know that before spouting off. Big shocker.

That's just it. The racist idiot with a gun is an idiot. The Secret Service is probably the most effective personal security detail in the world.

Who was the last person to be shot on their watch? James Brady?

KC Critic: OK. He isn't really lying about how much or little he knows about the CFR, he's just that uninformed. Riiiiiight.

2 things:

1) Obama's policies are well laid out. In what way do you believe that he is currently or is likely to be influenced by this affiliation? To put it another way: I like Obama's policies as stated, so why should I care?

2) I'd like you to try a thought experiment for me. I'd like you to try, just a for a minute, to imagine that Obama is for real, that he doesn't have an evil hidden agenda just because he's a politician, and that he really does want to bring more transparency and more accountability to our government. Just for a minute. I'll wait.
...
Feels good, doesn't it? Now, you can return to your suspicion and your cynicism if you want. There's nothing wrong with being vigilant, I admire that, but try, just try, giving him the benefit of the doubt, rather than doing it the other way. It's hard I know, it's really really hard, politics being what it is. Just give it a shot.

wigglebiscuit 2008-04-04 11:05:48 AM  
um...Obama was making a joke about how bad a bowler he is.
Plus, everyone knows bowling is controlled by the Illuminati. He wouldn't upset his secret lizard-men masters by removing the bowling lane.

No, it will mean that ONE person won't stand to have him as president.

/Reminds me of the quote I saw from Jesse Jackson earlier this morning about King: "They didn't have to kill him."

There was no they. It was a he.

Mind those broad brush strokes please; they're unappealing no matter where they come from.
