ok he is great in basketball….

so that will make me vote for him as our next world leader

right!….if just had more experience that 3 years in congress

A USMC shirt? How dare him? Something like that must be earned and to me he'll never do.

wonderful
president obama is different then any pr- he is down to earth and is exactly what we need, we have had enought rich lieing people in the wh.
obama all way to penn, ave

When will Hillary be shooting the hoops on the ELLEN SHOW?

A well deserved break from all the sleaze.

Nice to see you out of a tie. It's springtime now (though you wouldn't know it looking out the window this morning here)…time to dress more casually on the stump.

instead of playing basketball or bowling, I would like to know why Obama voted to give big oil huge tax cuts while we pay 3.45 a gallon for gas. He was out yesterday slamming the profits of big oil, while forgetting to mention that he voted for the most disgraceful bill ever. This bill gave big oil huge tax breaks, while they are making record profits. Talk about pandering, I wonder what big oil promised him. Enough with the politics of hope and change, it has such a sleazy feel to it.

Now, that is something a brother can do better

This is a none story!

WHAT A JOKE OBAMA IS!!!!

WHY IS THIS NEWS??

Everyone knows all African Americans are good at sports,
but that does not make them ready to be President.

Typical pro-Obama CNN-story

CNN: THIS IS NOT NEWS. THIS IS STUPID, STUPID, STUPID..AND JUST EXACTLY THE LEVEL OF OBAMA'S EXPERIENCE….ZERO. THIS IS ABOUT ALL HE'S GOOD FOR, TOO!

Batack could fire back on McCain's stupid claims for Hamas… McCAIN WAS ENDORSED LAST WEEK BY IRANIAN PRESIDENT - according to interviw for Time mag.

==========Obama 2008=========

Pro Obama CNN story!

Awesome

WHY IS THIS NEWS?????

We all know all African Americans are good at sports, that's how
most make their millions, but that does not qualify them to be
President of the United States.

Is this good or bad?

And he just won Indiana. Good move, O.

4 3-pointers needed to end the race with Hillary.

[1] Most Popular votes
[2] Most pledged delegates
[3]Most states won.
[4] Trustworthiness

Shameful but helpful, it's this kind of bias that turns people off and makes them vote for Hillary. Real news are talking about Wrights interview, What can one say but president Hillary R.Clinton or McCain

Obama is wearing a USMC tee shirt, can you imagine what the obama supporters would say if Hillary wore It

WE KNEW THIS WAS PLANNED. IT WAS REPORTED BEFORE THAT HE WAS GOING TO PLAY THESE PEOPLE. SO IT WAS NOT A SPUR OF THE MOMENT THING. IT WAS A POLITICAL DECISION (THAT'S ALL). PLEASE STOP PRETENDING MR. OBAMA.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched part of the rally. I didnt find it noisy.I found Obama to be a little out of it. He also agreed to a debate on patriotism.

I would like to ask Mr.obama why is he blocking the MI and FL votes?He would have to have them in November, now they will go republican.

Also why is Howard Dean refusing to refer complaint from Florida superdelagate to rules committee?

And Obama campaign is about unity, now thanks to the bias DNC, the republicans, moderate democrates, and some independents, will be voting Republican in the fall.

Obamas change is not something to look forward to! It would be the end of the U.S as we know it. This would be quite clear if the msm would do their job.

being from southern illinois when all the great teams like Ky. and Indiana had southern illinois players I think this is great. Think, one day some of those kids will talk about playing BB with the president. wow. Makes me want to get out my BB shoes and shoot a few hoops.

Barack is the candidate for the young, healthy, and the well-educated who have hope for the future.

Hillary is the candidate for geezers, radical feminists and the psuedo-illiterates who long ago lost hope.

Which is worse his bowling or basketball?

Who cares.

Why is this news?

Well thank goodness he is better at B-ball than he was at bowling. Really liked the USMC tee shirt.

I would like to know how the Clinton campaign can possibly say Obama is not electable.They say the republicans will bring out a whole mess of things to chalenge his character, to chalenge his loyalty to America,
This thinking is ludicrous. Hillary has been doing this very same thing for months and look where it has gotten her!
She is looking for any way possible to defeat Obama,even if it destroys the democrat party.
Let us hope the McCain campaign uses her strategy against Obama.
I don't think they will, because they are smart enough to realize dirty politics turns people off.

Now lats wait for Hillary statements that she was a Basketball star
when younger !!

TOM

He needs to make sure he gets those wild party-going college students to vote for him even if they don't know what he stands (Obamabots)

umm…..k

OBAMA 08!!!

No one will play basketball with Hillary. They're afraid she'll change the rules of the game at the end to make sure she wins!

He is no doubt better at basketball then he would be at President.

Oh brother!

I hope Hillary doesn't try to one-up him and puts on a pair of sweat pants too. How disturbing.

Let the people vote! Pro michigan and florida voters.

This should be great publicity for Barack in Indiana. Obama is a lot more nimble than that stiff McCain. I imagine that a president has to be flexible as his schedule. McCain is too old.

Too bad he wasn't playing Hillary… so he could have dunked in her face!

I love this story. What a cool guy. Go Barack.

Barack Obama is going to be one of our greatest Presiden't in history.
This is a time in history that we can't afford to let go by. We need someone that is for the American people and not for their personal gain. Hillary still can't tell the truth, her campaign is always in trouble financially. Do you want Bill Cliinton to live on Pennsylvania again for 4 more years? How can she run the country? Hillary agreed not to count MIchigan and Florida because they didn't matter. She signed a statement not to include them. Now she has them added in her count.
Hillary changes the rules when it fits her situation.

Vote Barack Obama in North Carolina and Indiana.
God Bless the USA

Hmmm… isn;t this interesting. didn't he call Hillary out for photo-ops with beer? didnt he say she was trying to look like the common folk?

Obama, the hypocrite for president! yippee

i like it when CNN openly, unapologetically supports Obama.

P.S.: Hey CNN publish my comments. I am with you in supporting Obama so that McCain can finally beat him.

Maybe Obama need to join the Chiago Bulls!

Obama: the scorer and team player. Clinton: the liar and individual contributor.

Waiting for Hillary, Chelsea and Bill to be in sweats tomorrow for some three on three in Indy…lol Or might just be easier for them to attack Obama's credibility for stealing the ball from one of the players as a sign of things to come in the WH..

."He cannot be trusted people, that would never happen if I am Commander in Chief"

I like this move, will carry alot of weight in Indianna, move stolen from Bill's playbook with the sax solo on Leno….worked wonders for him

basketball is so much more fun than bowling.

Dems '08

*Hillary supporters insert metaphor spin here*

YAWN. Issues please!!!

This shows how our future President would be with his fellow Americans. He don't mind getting dirty with us. Not like the Clintons who only get dirty when it comes to politics. Now we have these cops that have been found not guilty, we will have the Rev. Wrights and the Al Sharpton speaking about hate again. This wold has gone out of control. People voted for Hillary because she is white and they can't see a black man in the White House. Though I think that Rev. Wright explained himself very well, they will not let him off the hook because most whites do not want to remember that it was criminals that the British sent over to America to settle. We have had slavery and seperation between blacks and whites. If we don't get over this, then we will only be our worst enemy.
I am glad that Obama has a chance to become the next President of the United States. Maybe we can move past skin color and start the healing.

Obama 08

Hmmmm… wearing a USMC shirt huh? Even politicking when playing ball. Life is tough on the road. Maybe he and Hillary should settle this whole thing on the ol' b-ball court.

HOW ABOUT A BOWLING MATCH WITH HILLARY. THAT WILL
WILL REALLY ATTRACT THE BIGGEST CROWDS TO SEE.

Another "bowling" photo op? And heh don't forget to check out the USMC shirt….Naa that was just a coincidence. He sure is fed up with the old style politics isn't he? It is just uncanny how this ;man can pretend to be above it all while his campaign runs the same old style chicago type election. HIllary could have kicked his butt on this field too….but he would be to afraid to have her on the court. Gosh I hope I wasn't being racist. When McCain wins maybe Obama can coach little league. That is where he belongs.

I'm as much an Obama fan as the next person, but is this really news?

Wow, how exciting….

He is a disgrace to anyone that has served in the military!! I can't believe someone didn't rip the USMC shirt off him. If we wants to impress us with his "youth", let him just spend one day in a USMC boot camp.

Aren't we all just thrilled that he's better at basketball than he is at bowling!

MAYBE HE SHOULD STICK TO PLAYING BALL. HE SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER GRASP OF IT THAN POLITICAL POLICIES PLUS HIS MOUTH ISN'T MOVING (LIES).

FACT: OBAMA ACCEPTED MORE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OIL EXECUTIVES LAST MONTH THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

FACT: OBAMA VOTED FOR CHENEY'S ENERGY BILL. HILLARY VOTED AGAINST IT.

No wonder the younger generation loves this guy: great policy and the ability to connect!!

Unlike HRC who does shots of whiskey for photo ops, Obama and his teammates appear to be having a great time. He's the real thing. Good to see he's put some of the negativity thrown at him behind him.

The Clintons have made too many side-deals with Colombia and China. Lets not help to loose what we have worked so hard to acquire. Freedom and the right to work in our own country and to hire our own people. Remember people that Hillary is a big supporter of H1B visas. If you don't know what that is, please learn. Unions are starting to look at Obama for change. Please remember that Hillary sat on the board of Walmart and Walmart is not for buying products in America. They are an anti-union organization. The Clintons care more about how much they can get then what they can do for you. Remember that she has the second most lobbyist working for her campaign and McCain is the first. Remember the Steel-Factories in Pitt. that have left America and went to China. Remember NAFTA. Remember Upstate, N.Y. and how many jobs they have lost. I know CNN don't want to display this because it is the truth. Ted Turner does not believe in puttind the truth out for the American People. We care more about race problems then real issues.

Obama plays basketball… Great, it's good for our president to be a team player. I am impressed with his all around lifestyle. A true american!

Obama 08…

Sexy is all I have to say. I may have been a former Huckabee supporter, but I'm loving riding the Obama train!

You will vote in November, just as your Constitutional rights dictate! And make sure not to re-elect those that caused this issue!

If we could see Hillary out getting exercise, she might reduce that "wide handled stern" and "thunder thighs" she has,. but then again, I imagine she spends 50% of her time getting "botox" put into her cheeks, the ones on her face that is, and the other 50% of her time is spent getting her hair bleached…..what a phoney she is.

Will Hillary soon be seen with Bobby Plump, learning how to take that last shot?

Great! A moment away from trash talks from Hillary camp. Our whole nation should do more sports. Good example for people willing to get healthy.

I totally agree with this comment from another post- the point being that even with all the advantages given to Obama, he is barely ahead in this primary race.

The ultimate irony for the Obama supporters (the smart, educated people) to ponder:

IF Obama is the democratic party nominee it will be because the Washington Insiders that he speaks against (Super delegates) GIVE it to him.

It will NOT be because he convinced the electorate with his inspiring message of hope and change.

Hillary Clinton has done as well without the hype of hope and the media bias and the celebrity bandwagon

Well, Obama is really good at pandering for votes- I'll give him that.

Its buzzer time,time to end the Clinton-bush era.

good for Obama, he knows how to have fun more so with the young folks, Go Obama, the next president, some one fit to be a leader in body,stamina&brains.Good luck Obama.

Wonder how clinton will SPIN this one

This is a great bonus to have in a Commander in Chief. Think of how many kids will be motivated to dedicate themselves to fitness. Just another plus for Sen. Obama.

Obama forgets that he is running for president… not for most popular guy on the block.

He needs some substance to round out his pop star image.

boxer3…Obama plays with a pro and wins..DUH it was fixed, just like this primary. I would rather have a person who can out think an opponent rather than out jump them.

What another "bowling" photo op? Heh check out the shirt…naaa that was just a coincidence. It is uncanny how this man pretends to be above it all….new style politics and all and then runs a campaign just like all the others…If he gets the nomination and when McCain wins why maybe he can coach little league…that is where he belongs…in the little leagues. If Hillary would do this photo op it would be pandering but since it is Obama it "shows what a regular guy" he really is. So sad. Gee I hope I wasn't being racist… I understand now that it really is so incorrect to be critical of the New Messiah.

MR OBAMA PLEASE TAKE OFF THAT T SHIRT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEFAME MY CORE BY PUTTING YOUR FACE ANYWHERE NEAR IT YOU ARE UNAMERICAN AND I WILL SEPERATE WHEN MY TIME IS UP IF YOU ARE ELECTED PRESIDENT SAME FOR HILARY IM NOT DOING TO BIDING OF A BITTER WOMEN GOING THROUGH MEAPUASE AND KILLING PEOPLE OVER HER BIG MOUTH

Well, at least he's got experience in something…

soon Bill will play sax

I just cannot see where anyone can call Obama an elitist and out of touch,he says he only has 4 pairs of shoes,oh boy I have 5 pair I guess that makes me an elitist.The Clintons and McCains both boast of having 100 + millions.Clintons say no one knows anything about him.Lets see,we know Hillary lies,she cannot be trusted,she is an elitist with delusions of grandeur and has no experience as president.
Lets see I shouldnt vote for him because we don't know if these things are true about him or not.

He most definately should be made president of the basketball team.
Period!
Hillary for our president!

Michigan and Florida should not count……that is the punishment for violating the law. If 48 states follow the law why not two states. We 're nation of law quite and simple………………………………………….

You have to be ready to get thrown in the lion's den when you are dealing with the Clintons. As far as the American Constitution is concerned , I am not sure that the government should be legislating on spiritual issues affecting prayer and the like. Although I am concerned about the erosion of moral values in the United States, I don't think we should be so concerned with prayer in the pblic schools and the Ten commandments in our courthouses.
I think this country needs some new faces in the White house and Senator Obama has a terific chance of achieving this goal.

iT WOULD ENCOURAGE ;

I love this guy more every day.

Who cares that he plays the race card and can't speak on the issues?

To Young College Students,

I am Asian and not racially bias voting for Sen. Hillary in NC primaries.

It is funny that Non African American young college students thinks that by casting vote for Sen. Obama makes them racially unbiased. Majority of college students are color blind and they do not need to prove them self..

I didn't know that EXXON-MOBILE donated money to the Clinton Campaign. Hmmmmmm. I see gas going up some more. Thanks PA and Ohio. Skin color or not, you just cost this country true problems.

Why not?
Former Oboma Supporter,

Both of you are frauds and agents for nefarious machinations. America is ready to move into the future with hope and optimism, rather than uncompromising stupidity.

Good stuff, good stuff… Barack

Watch the Clinton camp come out with sometime trying to show Billary playing some kind of sport. I wonder what it will be. Let's see cheat, or Lie sport, ding, ding, ding you win Hillary.

Go Obama! You've got the hopeful youth of America behind you!

To Chris: "Let the people vote! Pro Michigan and Florida voter."

Yeah, I'm all for letting them re-vote, cause the last one didn't count!

Is that the man Clinton said was elitist? He is really down-to-earth!

yeah but can he hit three pointers at 3am under sniper fire?

If Florida and Michigan revotes,that means that all the candidates that were supposed to be on the ballot should have thier names on it.So maybe in hinesight,knowing now what they did not know then,the entire race would probably be different.So you cannot go back and change what has been.The witch Hillary wants to control the past,present,and future,talking about arrogant.Hillary made the decision just like other democrats to follow the rules set by the DNC and now wants to change them,WOW!!!!!

Wow! When's the last President we had that could do that!

If you could lead the country from a basketball court, maybe he would be ok, but being good at BB has nothing to do with leading the country. Glad he could relax that way, but is it news? We DO need Hillary so badly–her experience, her maturity, her capability, and especially the fact the she actually says what she will do in various situations, rather than just singing the "change' song, that doesn't say how or what we will change. Everyone who wants a democratic president, for goodness sakes, VOTE HILLARY. If she doesn't win the primary, why vote, as we are lost with either McCain or Obama.

He called Hillary Annie Oakley because she said she went hunting. Does this mean he is Dennis Rodman? Oh forget it; that would be a negative attack.

i luv seeing barack comfortable and in his element, he is clearly down to earth, not an elitist and the only candidate for change. Go obama go!

obama 08

I see my pro-hillary post was deleted again. So I will just say, GO, HILLARY and hope it gets on here. Wonder how many pro-hillary posts get deleted?

Hillary in shorts? She would't be cought being that down home.

Do you know why Senator Obama looks so relaxed? Because he has already won the nomination. I understand people feel very strongly about their candidates. I pray for Senator Obama every day. But it is time for Clinton supporters to face the facts. Senator Obama will win at least half of the remaining state delegates. Come June he will have the states, the popular vote and he will need less than 100 votes to secure the nomination.

The DNC will pressure the Super D's to "unite" the party and the Hillary camp will implode. Whether you like it or not Senator Obama is the democratic nominee. HRC said herself that his policies are a lot closer to hers than John McCain's. We have a record number of democrats registering in almost every state. If we stick together we can win! For God's sake look at the issues! There is no way we can fix the economy, healthcare or anything else if we continue to spend billions of dollars on this war.

I heard Hillary was asked to play as well, but her gym pantsuit was in the wash.

{Yawn} When we need a President who play basketball, we elect a pro. Right now, we need a president who has the experience to handle the job. Hillary has that experience.

Obama's supporters have hurt him by repeating gossip and baseless accusations, a la Rush Limbaugh, that have long since been proven false.

that is great
obama 08

America needs a cool president, or all the young people will leave the democratic party and never vote again.

Obama may have won a basket ball game, "Maybe", but he still can't beat Hillary.

A freshman senator jumps to US president?

Forget about all the factors behind. This is not a joke. Don't be crazy. If US loses another 8 years, it would take more than 20 years to recover, for some people, it means it would be totally hopeless for this life.

Don't want to see ordinary Americans basic happiness and well-being being used to pay for some people's sudden urge and craziness.

He is a good sport !

Now we'd like to see Hillary Clinton go duck hunting with Dick Cheney !

Finally… something Obama is good at- or are they giving him an advantage in this also?

The kiddies should love this- and it should buy Obama a few more votes.

Grant, your comment was HILARIOUS! I can DEFINITELY see how she'll flip him stealing the ball into "taking away from the American people!" and making it extreme like "and once wasn't enough. Oh nooooo! He did it 2-3 times! Today he's taking basketballs. Tomorrow he's taking away your health care!" lol

This guy is reducing politics to a game- literally.

We have serious problems in this country- and he is not the one able to solve them.

That's great! Really fun to watch. I wish I could have been there. Go Obama Go!

Oh yeah - Former Obama Supporter - I guess hanging out in a bar and throwing down shots is much more presidential, right? *rolls eyes*

Go Barack!! It's so refreshing to see someone who can follow the rules that were set before the game started and win fair and square!

OBAMA '08

Obama needs to "JOIN UP" and quit Impersonating Men IN UNIFORM ! Impersonating could be charged as a Feleony !

Pro Michigan and Florida,let the people's vote count..

The people of Michigan and Florida did vote. The state just didn't follow the rules. Its not the people's fault however, rules were made over a year ago and all candidates and states signed off on it. HRC was okay before super Tuesday when the votes didn't count. Why is trying so hard now to get them…..? She does anything it takes to benefit her.

Join the Obama_Zoombie nation!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!

Go Obama GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for him. He deserves a break. Like the t-shirt. Semper Fi, Barack.

Rick Greene
USMC
68-70

Hillary has no experience to talk about. So shut up !!

Former, why are you a former supporter? What happened to change your mind? Just curious.

They made Him winning, anything that makes look Him good.
Have the FLORIDA and MICHIGAN vote counted, or we will lose these States and PENNYSLVANIA, OHIO, TEXAS etc.

HILLARY 08

What would Hillary do to counter this activity? Knit?

Like always, he will so anything to be in the news. We thought about him at first, until we saw how 'star struck' he is.

Now Strongely for Hillary Clinton

Who is willing to bet Hillary somehow remembers she is related to Larry Bird and spent summers in French Lick shooting hoops in the backyard?

Any takers?

to chris!

If you want to complain about the Fl and MI revote go claim to that states democratic officals!! they are the ones who broke the rule! Dont post your frustrates with those states on CNN website cnn didnt break the rules niether!

Now we wait and see how hillary can play (copy cat) basketball.

This is good for Obama, people thinks it doesnt matter, but he is comfortable with B-ball and the fact that B-ball is popular in Indiana matters. We all saw how the bowling went.

Politics is often about who is comfortable. Obama new Pennsylvania was a difficult territory for him against Hillary, but Indiana is another story, it borders to Illinois and shares a lot of the media-market.

North Carolina will go to Obama for sure, especially since Bill Clinton is becoming more and more unpopular within the afro-american community , they are an extremely important voter group in NC.

I think Obama will win Indiana with 2-3%, it should be a tight race. Obama has some advantages, Hillary som other.
In NC i think Hillary needs 75% of the white vote to win, she hasnt gotten that so fare and will not get it this time. I think Obama will win NC with at least 10% which should seal the deal for his nomination.

Hillary needs to win both Indiana and North Carolina to win the nomination.

Chris, the people did vote. It just happens that their vote did NOT count.

Those delagtes should be seated by splitting the count 50/50. That's fair; that's what most people want.

What's better than playing ball in the hoosier state? Priceless!

Interesting that he put on a Marine Corps tee shirt considering he never served in the military at all. Should have worn a tee shirt from Harvard or Columbia or one of the other elite schools that he went to.

Also funny that he needed a pro basketball player to keep up with high school students.

And the funniest thing of all….
There are real issues to deal with in this country and he's playing basketball.

He'll make a great president I'm sure.

Here we go with the Florida and Michigan vote again. Change the rules
that all of the candidates agreed to and allow Queen Hillary to win
at any cost. Florida and Michigan powers that be made the decision
not to vote again. Let it go people .
Since Senator Clinton challenged Senator Obama to a bowl off I think
he should challenged her to a one on one basketball game and the
winner is the Democratic Presidential Nominee.

Barack takes a three point shot, Hillary takes a shot-and-a-beer! Now THIS is a campaign!
Fifty year old college eduated white Texan for Obama.

Obama has earned my vote!

Well I think it is great! Go Obama!!!

"No one will play basketball with Hillary. They're afraid she'll change the rules of the game at the end to make sure she wins!"

This is only funny because it is sooo true!

Obama needs some B-Ball to unwind. He has often said this is his stress reliever so leave the guy alone for goodness sake! As a kid and teen Basketball was his love..can he not be human? Sheesh!

I cant wait for Hill-bots to spin this story. Nothing but hatred from Clinton supporters, but nothing else is expected from them nowadays….

Matthew….

At least you have experience in something too—ignorance. Ignorance is bliss.

Let's if hillary will wear some sweats and get on some B-Ball. Now if Larry bird can come out for the next game, that will be awesome.

This will be a great, vibrant and healthy president.

that is a ten point lead - mathematics tells it all. Congrats and the opposite who played competively, fairly and portrayed the sportmanship.

The clintons would have played otherwise. Has it ever occured to the Clinton team that if we did not use mathematics for what it is supposed to do - that is analyse figures and data to provide precise and accurate results, and no balooning or inflating figures, it would have been extremely difficult to land on the moon.

There is no traditional methods for rounding figures…it is about accurancy and precision..so that the correct answer is arrived at.

Obama is awesome!! Hillarys done!

I'm getting sick and tired of this guy's pandering for votes.

Try earning them on the merits of your political platform.

Obama, what have you done for me lately?

Signed: typical white woman, surburbanite, financially well-off with a Master's Degree

Continue on Hillary>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2008/2012>>>>>>>>>>

I just wish this election would stop being about race. I for one really don't care about the color of their skin. All I car about is will they do what they say they will do. Every time the black don't get their way they cry race related. I say BUNK to them. I will vote for the one I think will truely run this country fairly for the next 4 years.

He should apply the old basketball adage in his campaign against Hillary and Bill "When you have the shot, take it"

to my dear friend fred, who loves posting his messages of hate…don't you see? the only way to work things out without war is to talk about them. spreading hate only fuels the fire, and the misunderstanding of cultures. war should ALWAYS be a last resort. if they want to live their way of life way across the world, let them. if their people want a change, then it is up to their people to change it. it is our governments responsibility to protect OUR way of life, not to enforce our way on others. If someone threatens our way of life then we protect it. do you realize the world hates americans for our cowboy policies of enforcing our way of life and our government on the entire world?

This is not my first rodeo folks. I have voted in a few Presidential elections.
There have been a few Presidents, like Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, that received quite a few votes when they were elected. But guess what, if you ask people who voted in those elections you will find very few people that will admit they voted for them.
If elected, Barack Obama will be one of those Presidents. At the end of his term, no one will admit voting for him.
But this time around there's a catch, if you're Black there's a 90 to 95% chance you did.

Experience is overrated. Look where our "experienced" Congress has brought us. Hillary's experience resulted in her voting for the war in Iraq. She has DC values, and was afraid of looking weak. Obama has courage, honesty, and a soft jumper - what else does a Prez need?

Texans for Obama!

Wow Obama..
The way to go.
He needs to win indiana and NC big…and then billary can go home…some people were not too happy with his bowling skills..how about this?? What can poor billary do? Whining….
Congradulations Barack super- sports-star!

Barack can play basketball, at least someone in this presidential nomination is fit to do a little sport Hillary and Mccain, can't to do that because they are too old. cnn post my comment please

Great to see a candidate with skills other than being a talking head. It also shows a youthfulness and balance of life. I like it. Many will call it a political stunt but I think it goes to what americans want.

So many people love March Madness or the NBA playoffs why not have a president who embraces those things.

Sure, the North Carolina GOP ad is worse than anything Hillary ever put on the air…… but it's coming from a known evil. When attacks on Obama come from a Democrat like Hillary they hurt more. I still can't believe on 60 Minutes she refused to flat out say "Yes, Barack Obama is a Christian." That was the moment I knew I could never vote for her even if she won the nomination.

Obama’s not only “got game” he will also have the nomination. I suppose Bill will say of course he is good at Basketball.

It is a shame that the Clintons have done everything they can to convince voters and the Superdelegates a race issue. Voters and delegates should feel insulted by their inference it makes a difference. Hillary voters in Pennsylvania that said race did effect how they vote also said they would have no problem voting for Obama in November.

Since Obama will be the nominee, I am confident November voters will prove to the Republican Fear Machine is broken.

Why doesn't he go back to the Senate and fix the broken Washington he is always pontificating on?

Oh… wait… Hillary Clinton is the doer- Obama is the American Idol.

Hillary may have gotten the bowlers' votes out east, but Indiana is basketball country!

For some politicians, experienced or not, playing basketball can certainly add some points to their political career.

However, ordinary Americans' basic well-being is not a game for anyone to play, unless, of course, he or she would pay for their food, gas, housing, and medical bills.

I want a fighter in the White House, not a basketball player.

I'm sure people will find a way to criticize Obama for this.

Obama is the real deal. McCain is the real deal, too - it's his policies and views that are wrong. Thank God Clinton will be out soon.

A much more wholesome example than the shot and beer–and this is more than emblematic, since this election is really about our kids' future.

Nice steal! And how ofter are you going to see a presidential candidate play basketball and actually be halfway decent at it? I'm tired of all these old farts who are career politicians. I want a younger guy who has some young ideas, and can even come off his high horse to play some hoops every once in a while with the common folk.

Out with the status quo and in with some fresh change.

Grant, that was a funny comment, and sad, but true.

make sure we are electing a president who can bring food for us., not basketball player. Please stop showing off.

Boxer3 that was too funny!!!

You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the campaign trail when Sen. Clinton's trial against Peter Paul hits the airwaves…LOL.

Hilary too should put on sweat pants play some basketball as she tries to follow what Obama does. Hilary please try this one as you always do after Obama.

to boxer 3—-Heh come on if Hillary were playing ball with Obama She would kick his butt on this court too! But he would be too afraid to let her on the court. Might be something close to a debate and we all know how aftraid he is to debate her.

Oh, he's so c-o-o-l !!! Now, let's bash Hillary and the rest of the Clinton's and their supporters.

It must be a hard up news day for CNN. Every day in every way they find some kind of a story to make Obama look good. This one is a strain! Tomorrows story could be "Obama helps elderly lady cross street" and gets the boy scout award of the year. I would like to hear about his position on handguns and who made the notes on the questionaire regarding that subject. He ducked that question at the debate and said they were not his notes. Maybe they might be MIchelle's as it appears that she wears the pants in family

This could only have been better if Hillary Clinton grabbed a pair of pom poms and cheered him on from the sidelines.

"Here is a place where being black was not a disadvantage," Obama told HBO's "Real Sports."

That's just Sen Obama's way for keeping in good physical shape.

Here is a small part of an article about former Clinton supporters.

'The Obama converts include William Louis-Dreyfus. The billionaire New York financier said he had been impressed by Clinton's performance in the Senate and distressed by eight years of the Bush administration when he donated the maximum to her campaign last August. Then, he said, he began watching more closely.

"However much one might have supported the Clintons, or one might support the usual suspects in the Democratic Party, I began to believe Obama represents a new approach. He gives off such a sense of relevance that he's sort of irresistible," Louis-Dreyfus said.

He also expressed, as did other big givers who crossed to Obama, exasperation about the tone of the Clinton campaign and frustration with the candidate herself.

"At the end of the day, all she had to do was open her mouth for me not to believe her," Louis-Dreyfus said'

Not so out of touch with the people, is he? And he didn't have to make something up, he plays basketball all the time. I'm sure Clinton will try and twist this into something……that's the game SHE plays.

GO OBAMA!

Whatever!

Listen. Where is the tide turning now? This is not Bowling country, this is where real goodies play. A young, active President connects better with the people. A man is known by the way he plays basketball. Go Obama go.

Hee hee, unlike both Obama and Billary's bowling outings, at least he knows how to play hoops. Given the way she conductes her campaign, Billary probably relaxes by tearing off the heads of newborn kittens.

Like 'USMC' but why sweat pant?? why not half pant??? Sweat pant looks odd in BB Court. Is he too shy to reveal his skinny legs?? LOL.

In other hand, watch out here comes Clinton in half pants with hairy legs.

Go OB 2K8!!

Grant…this was mentioned about a month ago on Hardball that Obama should do this. Not rocket scientist thinking going on here.

Any word out there on the Clintons campaign fraud case that began yesterday? Interesting there was nothing in the MSM about it, when ironically one of their top hillraisers defected to the winning team Obama. Curious to see how this plays out especially as they may be investigated as to how they raised 10 mil in 24 hours.

I wonder what Obama's friend Al Sharpton would say about the racial mix of teams and players.

Why isn't he out making the point that America sucks and it is EVERONE else's fault but his?

He is the solution because HE SAYS he is!

Why can't everyone just agree on this and give him the nomination?

The Messiah can never be to blame.

He can win at basketball but he won't win the nomination. Maybe he's finally found what he's good at.

Awesome- that proves he is best qualified to run the country.

Wow, that is so important that he plays b-ball. Young people will fall for every dirty trick in the book. I will be glad to vote for Shaq or Majic J, they are true Americans, we don't need this treasonist to have a Black president.

Go Hillary, McCain, Shaq, Majic Johnson, Mike Jordan…etc,.

ANYBODY THAT IS A TRUE AMERICAN, NOT THE TRAITOR OBAMA !!!!

At least we know that he is a team player who knows how to play well with others.

The Democratic norminee give them a game to think about…

I am waiting for the Republican noise machine to explain how playing basketball in Indiana is elitist.

You know…it should make you feel good seeing a candidate actually do something physical. We have enough fat politicians in Washington.

I'm a Hillary supporter, but I give Obama his props. He did seem out of breath, however, so he needs to cut out the cigarettes and start jogging.

He is the guy we need for the job ,and look at this with regards to Michigan and Florida ,Here is Hillary who has refused to keep the promise she made with the DNC about Michigan and Florida ,very disrespectful to the party chairs,if she can't keep her promise to the party chairs then how can we trust her to keep promises she makes to us on main street???? she is merely balancing her books at this time as she executes her exit stratedy, ..and folks still believe every bit she says ? this is insane to tell the least

Good Job Obama.

Your supporters have your back. Including me!!!

This is the kind of "scheduling" that keeps him from having a debate?
Must be tougher to play basketball with some kids than answer questions that are too hard. What a joke. Again, he's just waiting for the clock to run out by trying not to open his mouth and get himself in trouble again. By the way, where has his wife been?

Seems like he's trying to get the edge in Indiana through Basketball..
If democrats need a democratic president in 2009,give obama a sweep in the upcoming contests..both obama and clinton can't win,so give the potential candidate some time before the fall

Hillary–she'd foul out in basketball, but there is no limit to how much hacking you can do in campaigning.

~

Bill, too, has gone from sax to hacks.

Boy, oh boy… This guys got nads wearing a Marine Corp t-shirt. Once again, an example of what's important to folks these days - that he can play a "little b-ball." To heck with his views, or the militants that he surrounds himself with. Wake up folks!

I'm sure that gave the troops a boost in morale; I've been there.

Another false pretense. Pretending to be an all American player with the public when in fact he is not. Too many bones in his closet.

VOTE HILLARY '08 OR MC CAIN '08

How much did he spend to win?????

This is pretty much a stupid story; however, Indiana is renowned for its basketball, and it beats Hillary to the 'in' punch. By that, I mean she can't claim her uncle taught her how to shoot hoops at his home in the state before he took her to the Indy 500… you know, making her one of them. That's the first thing I think of when I think of Hillary; once you get beyond her public delusions-of-grandeur, self righteous fear mongering, and bankrupt campaign even with $109mil in the bank, she just a regular person.

Watch out, Hillary will say that Obama has no integrity because he 'stole' the ball from one of the other team's players.

Or she'll say she won't play anything with the crowd because there might be snipers around….
Way to go bullet dodging, hand twisting, fear mongering princess!

Imagine a President who will be an inspiration for everyone to be physically active. Americans could use a little motivation in this area. Too many people are not active, and overweight. Our diabetes rates are too high. A little physical fitness would be good for our country and help reduce our health care costs!

He rather play ball than debate.

Hillary '08

White men can't jump
Black men can't lead

I love this guy!

Obama has some moves! I like that he did this. When he connects with voters, he is unstoppable.

Obama 08

Obama dribbles like a girl..

OBAMA you are the people's president,ride on.
OBAMA '08

Good Game! It was great to see Mr. Obama enjoying the sport and wearing a USMC tee shirt . Regardless of prior circumstances he has my VOTE

He can't bowl but in Indiana that's not what counts. He's got game!

Real soon, folks, we are going to get to see what kind of guy
Edwards really is. Has he been holding out because Hillary offered
him the V.P. job? I think so.

No matter what the naysayers say, Senator Obama, the numbers and momentum are on your side. You continue to spread your message and we will continue to back you.

Ohhh, look at the Hillary/McCain followers who've suddenly got their knickers in a twist.

For those who don't know: he used to play basket ball for the varsity team at his high school.

========Obama 2008=========

Why is he wearing a USMC teeshirt?

I'm really surprised at the lengths that Hillary supporters will go to find something negative to say. It was a fun game. I think you guys are bitter.

Shoot those hoops.
Obama '08

HOW COOL IS THAT.

DID THEY LET HIM WIN?

THOSE GUYS PLAYED WITH THE SOON TO BE PRES.

I AM JEALOUS.

looking good on the court obama! let the haters do what they do. obama 08!

He needs to take off that USMC shirt in the first place. That title is earned not given. For him to wear it is an insult to us jarheads.

2nd, he can play basketball and bowl and drink beer , but that still does not make him presidential material.

3rd. if he steals the primary from Hillary by intimidating the voters in the party, the party will end up losing in November.

I have always know that you can put all the perfume on a pig that you want, but the pig still smells like a pig.

The man has no experience, no plans and no record of execution.

Geraldine Ferraro was absolutely right a white candidate with the same credentials would have never made it this far in the process.

You people are so judgmental! Why can't you just say "that's nice, but he still won't win" when the man leads in popular votes and delegates and states won. Why won't you just accept that? It's not Obama's fault that Hillary Clintin has run a shoddy campaign based on entitlement? She underestimated her opponent and spent money hard working people donated to her on lavish expenditures and has created a long line of deceit and dishonesty. Whose fault is this? She brought this on herself.

Kind of like his campain…He is winning…Hill Rod cant win. Dems Unite after Primary!

"He is no doubt better at basketball then he would be at President."
– Why not?????

He would no doubt be better at President than you are with grammar.

Why's he wearing a USMC t-shirt. Is he trying to fool people into thinking he served, or is he trying to convince everyone that he's not elitist?

I bet he had to borrow the shirt, because he didn't own a t-shirt, and figured he'd look elitist in a polo big horse tennis shirt.

I want the media to showcase his basketball skills like this did with his lack of bowling skills. Real Sports with Brian Gumbel displays his skills as well. I never saw those clip on the networks.

Is that lying pantsuit still in the race?

Basketball is the universal language of sports. President Obama got game!

Obama 08 swishhh!

I guess the next photo op is McCain and Hillary playing a rousing game of Bingo.

Shows he's still a KID and not even READY to be President!!!

There's nothing wrong with B.O. playing b-ball…. the problem is that the news media reports anything and everything. I actually like that B.O. is real, unlike Hill/McSameR
