Carney: OK, so maybe Obama needs a little practice
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 4/1/13 | DONOVAN SLACK

Posted on 04/01/2013 12:51:36 PM PDT by ColdOne

Jay Carney jokingly conceded that perhaps the leader of the free world needs to spend some more time on the court.

"The president doesn’t get to practice probably as much as he would like to," he said, adding "Having done a few shoot-arounds with him, he’s a pretty good shot."

When a reporter noted that there's a basketball court on the White House grounds, Carney replied, "These are busy times."

Practice?

He first needs a brain.

With that, he can then practice whatever he wants.

Since I cannot stand to watch college and pro basketball that is the perfect place for him.

Video here:

EMBARRASSING? OBAMA SHOOTS 22 BASKETS — BUT CAN YOU GUESS HOW MANY HE ACTUALLY MADE

It's even worst when you watch it. ...even misses an easy layup from the left side and he's left-handed.

Who cares. The guy is such a loser wannabe black. He actually thinks that pretending to play basketball gives him black street creds...the child of a foreign grad student and a well off white hippie, brought up either in foreign countries or by his well-off white grandparents in the very un-black area of a wealthy Hawaii suburb, desperately trying to make it seem as if he as something in common with authentic American blacks. And then going for a stereotype (”they all play basketball”). Embarrassing.

Actually Baraq played varsity b’ball in high school, albeit as a bench riding 3rd stringer.

Palin OTOH was the starting point guard.

It’s likely that his vaunted basketball prowess is as fake as his birth certificate, his social security number, and his marriage.

Palin would whip his quota-baby butt in anything they’d compete in.

Including brains.

Sorry, libs, but you idiots know she is more accomplished than the dork in every measurable way.

I think Allen Iverson is available these days. He knows all about practice.

I watched this video once. Early on after missing like the first 4 shots or so I think he asked for another ball - in effect blaming the ball. Then he proceeded to miss something like 12 more shots.
