President Obama may be president still, but he’s sure not acting like it – as the election happens tomorrow, President Obama won’t be doing his duty as commander-in-chief. Unless he’s playing point guard.

The Washington Post reports today that Obama will spend his day playing pick-up basketball in Chicago. Sure, there are still millions out of power on the East Coast. Sure, we still have no details on why four Americans were murdered in Benghazi. But, says the Post, this is an Obama election day tradition. And so Obama has called “body man” Reggie Love to put together the game.

Mitt Romney will reportedly end his presidential campaigning tomorrow in Pittsburgh, before waiting out election night in Boston.

His campaign announced to traveling reporters that the Republican nominee would campaign Tuesday in Ohio and Pittsburgh but no other details were immediately released.

While at the White House...

That President stuff is so tiring. I’m hoping Obama gets a lot of games in from here on out. In Hawaii.

Meanwhile, Romney is actually showing up for work tomorrow, putting the campaign money that people gave him to good use.

That’s the thing about Obama. He couldn’t stop begging people for money, but he won’t even be true to to the people who gave it to him, and exert himself on their behalf.

Either he’s confident his campaign has this election in the bag, or Obama has become a net negative on the campaign trail.

I frequently engaged in pickup basketball games.

Most, I enjoyed.

Two I did not enjoy had me and my teammates pitted against Pete Maravich and Rick Mount.

The other had me man-on-man against Elvin Hayes.

All of that was educational, but not enjoyable.

Great.Hurricane Sandyville Residents won’t know he’s playing basketball since they have no TVs.

Welll... he did give Bruce Springsteen the lowest concert turnout he's had.

Golf, basketball, cycling, talk shows, vacations, not much time for anything else.

PATHETIC.

That photo is emblematic of the last four years. The rest of the country goes about serious business while the pResident limp-wrists hoop shots. Good riddance!

I’ve always wondered what a “body man” is.
Is that a euphemism for homosexual lover?

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki, defending the president’s full campaign schedule amid the post-storm suffering on the East Coast, told reporters that Mr. Obama is “losing his voice a little bit out on the campaign trail” because he is talking on the phone constantly with state and local officials between rallies where he stumps for votes.

“In between every single event, he basically walks off the stage, gets on a phone call with governors, mayors and first-responders,” Ms. Psaki said. “Just from being backstage, that’s what he’s doing every single moment. He’s focused on it every minute he’s not on the stage.”

Obama seeks votes as complaints mount over storm response

If I said that Obama seemed more suited to midnight basketball games, what would Chris Matthews say about that?

Time for another split lip, a broken nose, black eye (oops, that’s racist), concussion, several broken fingers, cracked ribs, sprained ankle, and a blown out knee. He’s WAY behind on his injuries.

Let’s play some real street ball! None of this limp-wristed stuff.

My comments on that picture from a thread last week:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2952534/posts

His shooting form is as sissy-looking as his golf form, but he can make the greatest Haplocanthasaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex hand-shadows when they throw the spotlight on him. Not even Abe Lincoln nor JFK, as skilled as they were with their hands, could come close to matching this talent.

In this scene, the T-Rex is about to attack the Happy from behind. What a show he puts on! Eek! Look out Happy!! The kids love it when he narrates using different voices for the dinos.

He wasted that talent when he decided to run for prez, much to the chagrin of science museum directors around the world.

Probably head to the East Bank Club in Chicago to shower after the game.

Rick Mount wasn’t much of a ball handler or defender, but he could sure shoot.
