ABC (All Barack Channel) ^ | 3/13/2012 | Mary Bruce

President Obama, America’s basketball-fan-in-chief, brought British Prime Minister David Cameron to Dayton, Ohio, this evening to take in one of America’s favorite sporting events: the NCAA basketball tournament.

Obama and Cameron, dressed casually in slacks and jeans, respectively, watched courtside as Western Kentucky defeated Mississippi Valley State in the opener of the men’s tournament at the University of Dayton.

I’d have loved to have made it to a game last night too. However, my working 3 low paying jobs kept me from going (normally, I’m a Geotechnical Engineer with extensive experience in PDA testing).

I doubt he would have actually went there if it had not been in Ohio. Pretty pathetic. Since this little bitch of a ‘president’ has been in office, unless you live in a ‘battleground state’(or happen to be gay or Latino), you don’t exist.

It’s all about the photo-op (reminiscent of Clintoon and his ‘every photo-op in a storm’ approach). Britons love American football. Basketball? Not so much. Do you really think Cameron was interested in the game? Nah, just a prop in Obama’s photo-op.

The only problem I see right now is the prospects of actually having someone to vote FOR in order to get rid of him. At the moment, things don’t look very promising.

The Cameron Oxbridge types also snicker at the plastic commercialism that is American college sports—and there’s no greater example of that than March Madness.

Drudge is reporting that boy’s night out cost $365K.

Whoever gave this jerk his sense of entitlement?

As an aside, God Bless you for not viewing yourself as being above low paying labor! That, sir, is a testament to your character that will endure. You, and the millions of upstanding Americans struggling with dignity and virtue will be in my prayers.

Can’t wait for the kenyan turd to leave the White Hut and become a homo-ner and be nothing more than a bad dream.

Based upon his hind-a$$ to the Rolls Royce plant here outside of Richmond last Friday, I’d love to hear from some of the fans. Or did they all have to watch it from outside the stadium on TV? What a huge goat rope...roads closed (two Interestates)...industrial parks evacuated...and a million other inconveniences.

Spot on. And the candidates should be pointing this out.

I hope Cameron reciprocates by making Barry sit through a three-day Cricket test match...

Last 5 minutes of the game was great. However, I had to barf every time the camera panned to the usurper Kenyan muslim and his token boys-night-out buddy. Just seeing all the SS around them so they could do this photo-op was incredible. What a waste (at our expense)! If it meant so much to him, he could have watched it on TV!!!

Steady boy...remember the BP!!!

When I lost my job in August, 2009, I made a promise to myself that no job would be "beneath me". Just because I lost my career job didn't mean I was unemployed. I worked: at a Fitness Center (still work there part-time), Questionnaire Access Center worker for the Census, Wal-Mart, and now Assistant Teacher in Special Ed at the local elementary school.

It's been tough- we had to file for bankruptcy, we lost our house, and we decided to file for food stamps. However, the Lord doesn't promise us freedom from struggles, but to be there with us when we're struggling.

You beat me to it. By the way, Tests last (up to) five days, rather than three. Unlike many, most even, of the former colonies, cricket did not become the dominant sporting passion in Kenya after the British left. Kenya isn't a test-playing nation, although it does have a team of a high enough standard to play one-day 50-over internationals with the 9 test-playing nations.
