    I put this up knowing full well that leftist clowns will immediately attack this illustrative view of the real Obama vs. the manufactured media made myth Obama but this is less about basketball than the media view of The Lightworker.
    Preemptive deflection of leftist bile complete!

    The massive gulf between the real Obama (2 for 22 in an unguarded, in every sense, informal basketball shoot around...Stevie Wonder could probably do as well) vs. the fawning media's desire to make Obama out to be a real hot shot (politically, as well as on the court despite all evidence to the contrary) is on full display.
    Remember him "throwing" (pushing effeminately actually) the first pitch at a White Sox game? Well this is worse due to Obama's own self created mythology as a basketball savant.

    But the media still treats him as "having game". As always you can trust your own lying eyes, or believe the media. But you can't believe both!

    Obama has a ton of bball skills and he dumbs them down for others ,,,, unless they are college athletes or something equilivent .... And I hate Obama but he has game ... Doesn't always use it . Often when children are present people don't go 100 percent lol ...

    But he just does not cut it against other world leaders. Didn't Kim Ill once get 19 hole in ones during a round of golf? Thats bringing game to the table ;)

    Yes. After shooting a robust 9% (Nine percent!), missing even layups, he certainly didn't use up his game in a recent shoot around.

    You know, as I watched Barry miss shot after shot I thought the same thing. I thought that his ability to bounce ball after ball off of the rim was just stunning. I try that and I'd accidently sink some of them.

    BHO is greater than anyone knew.

    You know what I'm talking about. An unguarded informal shoot around.

    I didn't post the thread thinking anyone would actually defend such an abysmal lack of basic basketball skill (preferring to just flame the idea of such a thread) but darned if you haven't exceeded all expectations!

    And all this time we thought he was president of the United States.
    Turns out he's president of Local 666 of the Bricklayers Union.

    He isn't "playing" or competing against nine year olds. He is merely going through a shoot around on the same court and at the same time as a bunch of nine year olds.
    Have you ever played basketball?

    And you want him to impress the 9 year olds ? show him how talented he is ? Make them feel silly for not being able to shoot like him ? Do you go 100 percent against children ? Does it stroke your ego ?

    i dont like Obama very much at all as a politician but i dont see the point of petty little threads like this one. so the guy simply cant shoot well, or he was just off his game at the moment....big deal. I played 3 sports all year around from the time i was 6 till i was 18. I was pretty good, but some games or practices i just had some aweful days sneak up on me from time to time. Hell the best of the best from their respective sports have some seriously off days in their career.

    all im saying is dont put yourself on the level of those who,for example, tried to find any little petty thing they could to bash Palin and her family over. you owe it to yourself not to be as petty and childish as them.

    So, with cameras rolling, Obama shot just better than a blind man in order to save the egos of a bunch of kids?............:roll:

    Wow! Are all your posts so, ummm, resourceful?

    I suggest going back and reading my disclaimer in the very first post of this thread. I anticipated just such a response.

    So you knew you were creating a flame bait thread, which is against the TOS of these forums, and did it anyways?

    Good for you Yosh! You have balls. I like balls. LOL

    I'm not creating a flame thread at all. As I took pains to point out, I created this thread to demonstrate the media created myth of Obama, in all instances and in this instance in particular, Obama the basketball savant.
    Try harder to discredit my thread. This isn't getting it done.

    Are people really arguing about whether or not Obama has basketball skills? Get a life.

    It's a perfect illustration of the myth of Obama. Obama the brilliant constitutional law professor, Obama the defender of the poor and downtrodden, Obama the reincarnation of Lincoln, etc. ect.
    This includes Obama the proficient basketball stud. I fail to see why that's objectionable.

    I am curious as to what media outlet is telling you that Obama is all the things you said in your post?

    MSNBC doesn't count, because nobody watches them.

    Gee, that means a lot to me coming from a guy like you. My balls, by the way, are average as far as I know.
