Saturday, while visiting the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame with former George McGinnis, Obama made a couple of huge blunders. First and foremost, he shot an airball, an embarrassing error for anyone who has played basketball.
Obama also got tested at one exhibit, where he was challenged to make a shot. His first shot was an air ball, but his second hit nothing but net.
I know, I know... being able to shoot a basketball is not as important as the economy, Iraq, the Consititution, etc. But after his bowling fiasco, he really needed to rebound with his hoops game. The Republicans will no doubt exploit this in November. However in his defense, Obama hit nothing but net on the second shot... and 50% shooting is pretty damn good.
Follow me below the fold for the bigger foul made by
"Who's the best player you ever saw?" Obama asked. The answer was Julius Erving, or Dr. J.
How could Obama let that stand. Everyone knows that Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever. Seriously, the guy won six titles with the Chicago Bulls, three after he had retired from Basketball and started a career in baseball. He scored over 32,000 career points and won the NBA Most Valuable Player award five times. I mean, has George McGinnis ever watched Jordan play? Or does just hate the younger players?
Regardless, Obama should have stood up for what is right. This will haunt him in November.
