In the wake of his scintillating 2-for-22 shooting exhibition on the White House basketball court complete with an air ball, a steady barrage of bricks, and a layup that didnt so much as draw iron President Obama is now reportedly trying to enlist the National Basketball Association to help peddle Obamacare. What possible connection is there between the NBA and a government takeover of American medicine? Your guess is as good as the next persons.
If the NBA goes through with this, then perhaps its next act will be to remove Jerry West from its logo and replace him with Obama a former pine-rider on his Hawaiian high school team.

Is it safe to say President Obama is the worst president at basketball we've ever had? I mean, George Washington never heard of basketball, but I am sure he could be President Obama. And FDR could too.

I saw a bit one day of his trying to hit the basket from a reasonable spot on the court and it appeared to me he wasn’t keeping his eye on the basket. If you don’t do that, you aren’t going to hit it.
I think he was just tall so assumed he could play basketball and no one ever told him, he sucks.

Once again, the Left makes use of pop culture, and we on the Right just stand back and let them. While we "fight" using Queensberry Rules, they're kicking our a**es and winning the future using a pop culture baseball bat. We will never reach, and start de-programming Generation.com, until we develop a conservative/patriotic pop culture.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Obama just isn’t athletic. And he’s really bad at basketball. I think there are marmosets better than him.
To: nickcarraway
No, he’s not athletic at all! He doesn’t even know how to work. Prissy boy.

ObamaCare is as gay as Jason Collins. Since the far left fringe thinks gay is good and ObamaCare is good, they should love that comparison.
