But Sasha and her older sister, Malia, are skiing in Colorado this weekend with their mother and some friends.

The president often attends Sasha's Saturday morning basketball games at a community center in Maryland. Aides said they did not know if Obama had helped coach before. They did not provide results of Saturday's game.

It must be nice to be leader of the free world and have weekends off. His schedule for the past many weekends now has had nothing listed.

That was a cheap shot.

I don’t know whether to hit report abuse or remind you of that it’s a girls team. Not boys.

They did not provide results of Saturday's game.

There were no results. They don't keep score at sporting events involving children anymore.

Either that, or they take the combined scores of all the teams and redistribute them equally among all the players.

Transcript of Obama's coaching technique:

Now.....uhhhhhh.....when the other team tries to stop you from.....uhhhhhhhh.....scoring.......uhhhhhh.....you just call them a.....uhhhh.....racist. And then you get the refs and the fans together and.....uhhhhh.....you get them to call your opponents racists, too.....got that? Okay. End of lesson. Hit the showers.

Good for BO. Although he is failing as our president, he does have some admirable qualities relative to his role as a father, IMO.

You can’t accuse Obama of being a workaholic.

Who goes skiing during a sports season, leaving your team a player short? Tacky parenting.

I dont care about hs Politics- but I will defend his role as a parent.

This has nothing to do with politics and we should not be as petty as democraps.

You have a good point about the pettiness, although his daughter was not actually at this game. Maybe this helps him escape the infamous bubble fatigue.
