He should do more of this. It will be nice to see a president who doesn't spend his spare time driving around golf courses with tubby squillionaires.

All those guys will be able to tell their grandchildren that they shot hoops with the president. Of course, they'll just think gramps is senile.

I hope if Obama becomes president that he spends every evening shooting hoops, just to unwind. Then I hope Faux News tries to castigate him for that by trying to portray him as a lazy guy who just wants to goof off rather than work late into the evening. And then I hope someone prominent embarrasses the shit out of Faux and Dubya by pointing out how lazy that dumb motherfucker is who's currently wasting space inside in the Oval Office.

How many days of vacation has he taken since he held office? Even Europeans look at his vacation time and get jealous. He's probably spent 25% of his worthless presidency clearing brush on his dirt farm in Crawford. By now he should have been able to clear all the brush west of the Mississippi. Asshole.

I’m willing to bet there were no flagrant fouls in the game with secret service peeking over their shoulders.

Obama will unwind in the White House with strippers, cocaine, Soloflex, glycerine, and Abolizers-when he's not watching stock footage of Lebanese weddings, he'll be playing Mario Cart and smoking hashish.....

No, seriously - I was wondering why he was wearing a USMC shirt - like, does he know someone in the Corps?

oh! i mistook that for a joke, as well, the first time.
like, it was literally, your shirt.

umm. well, let me start here, though it might seem like i'm taking the piss, at first.
if he was wearing a black sabbath t-shirt, would you think he might know ozzy?
and kinda' hard not to know someone in the corps, but i think maybe i catch your drift:

is he wearing a usmc shirt, as some subtle way to appeal to military members?

if that was your 'real' question, then it seems like a legitimate question to me. because to anyone as under the limelight as a presidential candidate, there'll be very few casual choices made. can be a little like the work of great movie directors: almost nothing winds up onscreen by accident. can't afford to run a sloppy campaign, in the information age.

personally my answer would be, "meh. don't think i'd particularly care, even if it were true. even if it were bush, instead, wearing the tee and shootin' hoops. though if he was still wearing the fuckin' codpiece, i'd be suspicious."

^Might have been a subtle show of respect for his pastor, Rev. Wright, who was a Marine.

By MarineGunrock

MarineGunrock (http://marinegunrock.videosift.com) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:31:13 -0700

I was not aware that Rev. Wright is a Marine.

I guess that's one thing the media chooses not to share when they play a clip of him saying "God damn America" - Because anyone that really hates this country like they try to make it seem he does would not have served in the military - especially the toughest branch.

bamdrew (http://www.videosift.com/member/bamdrew) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:43:02 -0700

Yeah, I'd read that Rev. Wright was a devil dog. It fits right in with my theory, something I like to call the 'All Marines are Crazy People' theory.

And being an Indiana native, I wonder why I never saw this on the news? A lot of basketball fanatics in this state.
