WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama stepped in to help coach his younger daughter's basketball team even when she wasn't there.White House officials said Obama helped coach 9-year-old Sasha's team Saturday in suburban Maryland because a regular parent-coach was unable to attend.But Sasha and her older sister, Malia, are skiing in Colorado this weekend with their mother and some friends.The president often attends Sasha's Saturday morning basketball games at a community center in Maryland. Aides said they did not know if Obama had helped coach before.

Hillary Clinton was unable to attend the game because she was busy at home baking cookies.

Probably has as much experience coaching as anything else he’s done so far/s

If there is one thing this idiot might have expertise in, this might be it.

Hillary Clinton was unable to attend the game because she was busy at home baking cookies.”

Issa could have attended the game with all the time he is going to have on his hands, since Obama ignores both Issa and his investigative committee. Heck, even Paul Ryan could drop by for just a second, since Obama still has not called him to discuss fiscal negotiations.

Good thing he's not afraid of stereotypes.

As the first black POTUS, you would think he would steer clear of an obsession with basketball, taking every other day off, and stealing other peoples money, but he's fearless.

There is something very, very strange in the Obama family dynamic.

Very, very strange indeed.

Damn peculiar, one might even say.

Somethin’ ain’t right.

Can you imagine ANY dad coach ANY kid’s team while said kid, her sister, and her mother were halfway across the continent on a vacation sans father? Ever?

Very strange.

[Just A Reader]

Seriously? The president of the United States spent the morning playing basketball coach to a bunch of 9 year olds?

Obama coaches Sasha’s team, but without Sasha, teaches drivvle

[gloryblaze]

Isn’t that special.

There is something very, very strange in the Obama family dynamic..

It's almost as if it's a sham marriage arranged by string pullers unseen for political purposes. I can see it now..."you can't be seen hanging around with men Barry, won't look good. We gotta get you a girl".

[ladyvet]

Sure...why not? It's not like there's anything important going on in the nation or the world these days./s

Are you kidding me??? Bill & Hillary Cinton are avoiding POTUS Obama as if he were contaminated with radioactive fallout!!! Anyone touching or siding with the failed POTUS Obama is going down the toilet with him!!! It really is funny to watch, both Clintons avoid Obama every minute!!! The Clintons have his number as a zero and want nothing to do with him!!! And....know what, the Clintons are right on!!!

[ColdOne]

It that his real all-star card?

[azishot]

But Sasha and her older sister, Malia, are skiing in Colorado this weekend with their mother and some friends.

Skiing in Colorado? Who's paying for this? And shouldn't Sasha be taught she has a responsibility to practice with her team? Maybe I'm being too picky but this family brings out the worst in me.

All I can say is, “WTF” and that ain’t winning the future.

Almost like the kids are just a prop, eh? Good window dressing for a president. Poor kids.

As far as I can ascertain it is one of those things schools did for players of teams for fun back in the day. I remember we had a similar thing for me on our soccer team in High School.

You should see what he does in the evenings
