Being the United States president can be pretty overwhelming. Fortunately for the 44th U.S. President Obama, had basketball to turn to relieve himself of some of the stress. ...Obama played and he played without any reservations.
"they didn't adopt any "presidential rules," and he paid for it dearly one time as someone caught him on the mouth and gave him a busted lip.
"There ain't no presidential rule?" Stak chimed in.
"I got the scars to prove it," Obama bragged.
The affable U.S. president said hoops was as much a part of his schedule as meeting diplomats from other countries.
"We had a tradition on election days—you had to play. So, in 2016, we played on Election Day at Fort McNair, and I was on fire. One of those days where I was raining down threes and had these spin moves," he narrated.
"Ten years ago was the last time I ran a full-court game."
"We saw you the day after you got hit in the mouth and had the stitches," Barnes stated.
"So this is proof, by the way, that they didn't take it easy on me," Barack responded. "It was Thanksgiving weekend. You were all looking down, and I'm like (mimics covering his blood-covered mouth). And I had to speak that weekend. You could still see the caterpillar right on my lip."
"And I had all the pictures—the three-picture sequence—framed. I signed it to this congressional staffer. I think his name was Ray," Obama shared. "I wrote: 'To the only man who ever assaulted the president and got away with it.'"
Obama had his fair share of supporters and detractors. However, one thing is for certain: the basketball world truly loved and respected him because he was somebody who had a genuine love and passion for the game.

“The affable U.S. president said hoops was as much a part of his schedule as meeting diplomats from other countries.”
This explains a LOT! I just hope I outlive the punk if you know what I mean.
What’s sad is that this pustule of a person really does think highly of himself.
Very true. He has a tin ear in a bad way too.
affable. Oh, okay. Once a dirt bag..............
A specious and wholly baseless assumption.
1. If athletic competitions weren't excluded from the definition of "an assault" football games would last a week because they'd have to take a policeman's time-out after every play to arrest all the players who'd hit anybody.
2. Teddy Roosevelt had boxing workouts ever day he was in residence in the White House.
Sheikh Obama (piss be upon him) was worse at b-ball than Slick Willy was at golf.
pResident Erkel has no game. He’s full of bovine excrement.
Obama can take a pounding.
Bwaaa haa ha. Good one.
> the basketball world truly loved and respected him <
Who wrote this junk?
Was it one of Obama’s boyfriends?
🤔
And darn the luck, if we were full-on commie like Barry always wanted, he could have had the guy executed for it and charged the family for the bullets.

Ha ha ha… I am absolutely going to remember that particular pejorative! It fits perfectly…
He will say “Anything” to hold on to the black vote. America saw Barry Soetero throw a baseball. You can bet your last dollar he can not play basketball.
Now when it comes to mastering technique in the bath houses of Chicago, “Bath House” Barry is a legend.
Huh? IIRC he was dropping “threes”. from everywhere. According to him
2. Teddy Roosevelt had boxing workouts ever day he was in residence in the White House.
Too bad he didn’t get a Kermit Washington-type facial treatment, like what happened to Rudy Tomjanovich.
