The President Who Can't Shoot Straight (Not a very good basketball player either)
American Thinker ^ | 04/02/2013 | Russ Vaughn

Millions of us out here in flyover country have long been of the opinion that Barack Obama is not a straight shooter. This weekend he proved it.

During the White House Easter Egg Roll, the handlers gathered the kids around the half-court to watch the Prez, whom the press has led us to believe for several years now is quite skilled in the game, shoot some free-throws and layups.

Bad move, handlers. Much to the dismay of all those who have worked so hard to create this faux image of our chief executive as a skilled athlete (skeet-shooting comes to mind) it became apparent rather quickly that this Prez can't shoot straight. Out of 22 attempts, the Prez managed two, count 'em, two, baskets. Hell I'm a 72 two year old white guy who, like all white men, can't jump, and I'd bet some solid money I can do better than 2-22.

Know what I think? He choked. After missing the first couple in front of his young audience, he became so unnerved he lost his cool and flubbed the rest away. Other than providing those of us not among his admirers with something to chuckle about it, adds to the mounting evidence that this guy is not, and never has been genuine in any way, merely a construct of the liberal media and the Democratic political machine. As we have long held, he's a lightweight in over his head and trying to perform above his limited capacity in both politics and basketball.

"So what? The guy got rattled," will say his supporters. Don't know about you but in this very dangerous world,

To paraphrase China’s opinion today on Apple:

B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, is arrogant, does not care about Americans, and needs more supervision.

The emperor truly has no clothes.

“After missing the first couple in front of his young audience, he became so unnerved he lost his cool and flubbed the rest away.’

thats why there is so much control when he is asked questions, if this Ahole ever had to answer truly tough questions he’d melt like an ice cube in the sun. Everyone saw what one honest question by a plumber did.

After seeing him throw the first pitch at an MLB game, play golf, and ride a bike...I doubt he just choked shooting the basketball. He is just not a natural athelete. I think the basketball mythology about him is part of his longstanding attempt to look more “black”.

How about this pitch by GW Bush for the Yankees just after 9/11? (watch at 45 seconds of the video )

The guy fashions himself as a expert on everything and, yet, is good at nothing.

He doesn't follow through on his shot.

Given his campaign promises, does that surprise anyone?

I don’t like this article.

Obama looks fine as a player and most players have had a 2-22 day or two. Some days, the ball just won’t go in. Then there are days when you can’t miss.

What black guy can’t get playing time on a prep school basketball team? Barry Obama, that’s who. He was a scrub.
