IT'S THE NOVEMBER PLAYOFF WE

HAVE SEN.OBAMA DRAFTED FORE.

If you would know just a little about basketball – you would not have made that comment. These children at the university just finished a basketball season where they were playing basketball for hours each day; for you to compare some one who has been on the campaign trail and have not been playing much for months is stupid. That doesn't mean that he is not a good player, that means he has not been practicing. OK I am so tired of explaining things about Obama that you(the media) take out of context. I think that you all have been biased against Obama for the last two months and YOU know why.

No….don't tell me CNN has found something that projects Obama as the common man ….as in touch with the people withot throwning back shots and a beer with the boys …? Heck…I thought CNN was joining Fox in the Obama bash for sure.

Its not much given the extraordinary journey of this man to the presidential candidacy. but perhaps some of the media isn't as afraid of Hillary and Bill and their attack dogs, as it seems?

GO HEELS!!!/OBAMA!!!!
UNC'77

HILLARY IS NOT OUT WORKING… SHE IS OUT THERE LYING AND PANDERING.

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HER TELL SOME STORY ABOUT HER GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER TAKING HER CAMPING IN THE TAR HILLS OF NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE SHE RAN INTO A HOUSE WITH THREE BEARS EATING THREE BOWLS OF PARIDGE, WHO HELD HER UNDER SNIPER FIRE WHILE SHE SHOT A RABBIT WHILE TAKING A SINGLE MOTHER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ON THE BACK OF A FLAT BED TRUCK WHILE DRINKG BEER AND CROWN ROYALE WHICH MADE HER CRY AND FIND HER VOICE.

SILLY STORY ABOVE…. THAT'S HOW HILLARY SOUNDS

ONE DAY THAT LEFT ARM THAT SHE RAISES WHILE LYING IS GOING TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTINING.

HILLARY IS A BOBBLE HEAD LIAR WHO MIS-SPEAKS.

IF YOU WANT A LIAR OVER AN HONEST PERSON VOTE HILLARY

Last election was about issues this election seems to have turned into a candidate popularity contest. I want the person who is most qualified to do the job. None off the three have really impressed me. I don't care how much basketball they play or beer they drink or babies they can kiss. Let's get back to the issues.

Mr Obama's campaign is about change but I would prefer the next president want to deal with the issues not "change the gameplan" in Washington. We got that rhetoric in 2000 and look where we are now.
The middle east factions have been warring with each other since Jesus's time and man is not going to stop it. Business has been conducted the same way since Jesus's time and Mr. Obama is not going to change that. Washington has always been " you wash my back I wash yours."

Special interest has it place just like everything else in Washington. If it were not for special interests we wouldn't have civil rights,affirmative action, or women's rights. Let's just make sure that the special interests are more about the good of the people and the nation instead of large corporations.

Eugene….you really need to do some research on Hillary's history. Not the one that people tell you because they chose to hate her, but her REAL History…..do yourself a favor and read about her growing up and her college days, and beyond. You may change your mind.

This keeps Obama way from the real issues and questions he doesn't have a clue on how to answer. Remember, he stayed away from the media 4 days prior to the PA election and went into hiding for a time after so as not to answer the tough questions as to why he lost by such a wide margin.

He's more like Cheney, hiding in his fox hole. He won't be able to pull this off against the republicans.

Wow, a 46 year old man is a little slower than top-seated professional basketball players. Obviously not presidential timber.

So I guess the memo came down from Corporate to make sure Barack Obama doesn't win Indiana, and this includes snark sidebar pieces like this one.

Sooner or later, the electorate will figure out how to turn on the media.

Yeah Ric, you're a genius. I'm sure America will opt for more of the same from someone most people wouldn't allow to have a drivers license.

He just shows he does'nt have the right stuff to even be a President!!!

DON'T WORRY SEN.OBAMA.

YOU ARE AMERICA'S MVP.

Funny how Senator Obama has time for basketball but no time for a debate.

I agree with Darth Vadik, well put, couldn't of said better myself.

Obama shoots but don't score in debates either. If Obama is elected as the democratic nominee, he's going to have a hard time with McCain. McCain is very good at debates. That's how he came from behind to win the GOP nominee.

Plenty of time for basketball and other gimmicks, and no time for debate.

My three cents on racial divide:

1. The ancestors of many Americans had NOT YET emigrated to the US at the time of slavery. I myself am 53 y/o and came over at age 6.

2. Native Americans ( NOT "indians"- you smart and educated Obama folks, please educated Rev. Wright) had their land stolen and genocide committed against them. You don't hear their spiritual leaders preach hatred. And ifANYone should, they should.

3. Black Africans sold their own people into slavery.

So let hate go and lets move forward as a Nation.

relax!!! this was just for fun!!! only obama haters are making this news; not CNN!!! Take a chill pill!!!!

Geee cant the news report any real news? So he missed some shots, thats not a big deal but our economy, healthcare, the war that shouldnt have happened ect is, which he is right on about..

Obama 08

cnn loves obama . you have to love the free advertising. The real news is his racist pastor making jokes out of real concerns. This man is the wedge in the divide. His only goal is to make white people the enemy of black people. I am shore at some point they were the enemy and rightly so. To be preaching this kind of hate today in any form is so dumb i can't understand it .

I have many black friends I would not be able to face if I supported this type of bigotry. BOTH sides should renounce people like Mr. wright or Mr. recio.

BRING US TOGETHER BLACK AND WHITE . GRAY WILL MAKE US FREE.

Clinton gets shot at again…oops. that was a lie

No doubt this campaign has been and will continue to be incredibly grueling for the candidates. Obama's adherence to his exercise routine helps maintain his energy and positive outlook. This will continue to be an advantage for him as president. It is much easier to be productive when you're aerobically fit. Also less prone to injury and illness.
While this is not as newsworthy as many of the campaign issues that are largely being ignored, it's more pertinent than a lot of the tabloid dirt that seems to be getting more airtime.
Obama's physical fitness parallels his fiscal fitness: he's in for the long run and has both physical and financial staying power. I think he can wear down his opponents on both fronts.

Just chill all you obama haters!!! I'd rather see a fit person on the court excercising rather than seeing a very overweight person hiding her rear with pant suits chugging beer and doing shots!!! Like mother like daughter emphasizing the obesity crisis. Somehow she doesn't include this in her health care policy!!! All you people will try to grasp at any straws to discredit him no matter how irrelevant! she only wants a debate moderated by HER to only talk about Wright, etc-not ISSUES important to the american people-get real!! No wonder noneducated people are voting for her-they don't know any better!!!!

Okay, does this have anything to do with those who needs have lost their jobs. Will this put food on our tables? Will this pay our past due bills?

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF USA.

Senator Clinton can be the President of Iran– she does want to nuke Iran BAD and then she can rule there. Smile wave and cackle– outlaw great speeches and truth. "Say anythinf and Do anything" to get ahead in life: The first law.

Trying to Win Indiana and NOrth Carolina shooting hoops won't do it OBAMA SAVANTS..

Its very easy that this guys is avoiding Clinton at all cost..

He is OUT OF TOUCH with America..

He is going to lose in the fall undoubtely..

Fight Hillary Fight 08!!

Another Bush Lounging around.

yeah, CNN is now officially Hillary's Talking Head!

I am waiting for the first pro-Obama poster to say that Obama is the Prince of Peace.

One Obama supporter has already posted this: "people forget Obama is not a man, he's a movement"

All the Obama supporters keep posting that they are smarter than everyone else.

I guess egotistical, boastful, cocky, arrogant narcisism is taught in Obama propaganda 101.

You people have no lives. Yes lets talk about Obama's basketball skills….he didnt make a shot in this. These kids are 20 they should be faster than him. Lets talk about Hillary's skill of NOTHING. Hence Bill CHEATING. NO SKILL THERE!

OBAMA 08

Okay, does this have anything to do with finding jobs for Americans or putting food on our tables or paying for our past due bills?

OBAMA is nothing else than a joke.
Obambi go home

rob from Charlotte, NC

Does CNN (Clinton News Network) report real news anymore?

While I would prefer Obama addressing the issues, at least he was engaged in a REAL sport.

Clinton is busy comparing herself to Rocky, a FICTIONAL character, and her supporters lap it up. How pathetic is that?

wonderful, is this news? why CNN does not say anything about the former pastor for Hillary Clinton who was prosecuted for touching a 7-year-old girl? Does this silence have to do with the fact thta Hillary paid advertisment on CNN website?

Here is an ugly thought…chubby old Hillary waddling down the court….shudder!

Nobody will want to play any kind of sport with Hillary.
She will stop the game in the middle of the course and ask the referee to change the rules so she can win.

All the Obama supporters keep posting that they are smarter than everyone else.

I guess egotistical, boastful, cocky, arrogant narcisism is taught in Obama propaganda 101.Obama supporters can not play fair

Is BO-prah nearby with pom poms; where is Michelle, running around removing all the American Flags?

Go Hillary!!!!

oh come on CNN post atr least ONe of my comments.. sorry I called the idiots idiots for not seeing that b-ball is campaigning and debates are only for losers who are too lazy from sitting around and drinking beer and watching NASCAR to go look at a candidates stand… I suppose if I said "Go Hilidiotlary" you would post my stufff

Obama for President!

no more Liars in the W.H.

mcWar=mcClintons=G.Bush The Third

This keeps Obama way from the real issues and questions he doesn't have a clue on how to answer. Remember, he stayed away from the media 4 days prior to the PA election and went into hiding for a time after so as not to answer the tough questions as to why he lost by such a wide margin.

He's more like Cheney, hiding in his fox hole. He won't be able to pull this off against the republicans.

Appropriately titled. You got it right he shoots off his mouth, but doesn't score with the people. His support has topped out and Hillary is on the Rise. Go Hillary.

What is he doing? I thought he was running for the presidency?! Boy, his actions remind me more and more like Bush's attitude toward his job: Vacation all I ever wanted….

wow he has been shooting hoops all week…..

Obama has time to play for the media but no time to debate Hillary. Obama wants to run out the clock, but we know what can happen like the recently concluded college basket ball tournament where the winning team came from behind. Obama is not ready. He is afraid to debate Hillary on the issues, why do you think that he can stand up to many of the world leaders who do not see eye to eye with Americas? Obama has proven that he is a great talker but no inner strength. Hillary is the real deal. A woman of substance, determined to keep fighting because she knows that the presidency is where the buck stops. Obama will not win the Presidency if the democrats are foolish enough to nominate him. Love her or hate her, Hillary is a woman of strength and perseverance. She has the experience and the will to make a difference.

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaq O'Niel, have missed plenty of shots, what is your point?

PEOPLE. Does anyone really care whether Obama can get "nothing but net! " This is one of the most important elections in recent history, possibly ever in history. Obama is a LOSER – he can not run this country – HILLARY CAN – YES SHE CAN – and Obama better get use to it. He needs to take his hating preacher, his over priced arugula, and his electable suits and go back to Chicago – QUICKLY – VERY QUICKLY

It's news as much as Hillary doing a shot in a bar is news. No one cried foul then. He's campaigning; it's news.

WOW, North Carolina Gov. says YES TO HILLARY!!!!!! while Obama is out playing basketball.

You know he only is in his position in Illonois because the Republicans had scandals going into his election, so he was a shoe in. His term as senator is 1 year in, the rest of the time running for president. So experience zero!

In November, McCain will win if Hillary is not chosen….

why,
Obama is lame-change boy. Nothing real, just really good with the chat about…. but when it comes to the real game…..

he shoots an air-ball in my book!
especially with Wright by his side. and its bull to think he'd not gone there anymore if Wright stayed on….
well he has! both of them together!

Hillary 08!

Hillary 08!

Pathetic. As if this will get him votes from us gun and religion clinging folks.

Hey dummies he IS campaigning by playing this little game of B-Ball.. but I guess if you cannot be bothered to read a candidates position but need to have it spoon fed to you in a debate you would not understand this concept either.. idiots

All the Obama supporters keep posting that they are smarter than everyone else.

I guess egotistical, boastful, cocky, arrogant narcisism is taught in Obama propaganda 101.Obama supporters can not play fair

How symbolic.

Like Dukais, Gore, Kerry – nice guys, but unelectable.

CNN, why do you allow negative comments about the candidates appearance? I don't understand your moderation criteria…..

very nice OBAMA!

Actually, I like your game in Indiana BETTER!

At least you scored and stole the ball 2x

Hillary is out trying to fix our problems.

Obummer is shootin' hoops.

PRIORITIES!

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT

I would love to see Clinton's record while in the Senate, additionaly, how she can defend herself agaist her supposed "years" of experiance. She has been in office only since 2000, and if her name was not Clinton, she would be a rich lawyer living in Chicago giving money to Obama!

Clinton has no "chuzpa" she votes with the political wind!!

Time for B-Ball, no time for DEBATES??????????
Hillary is out working and campaigning and BO is playing…..who is taking this election seriously????????

I LOVE IT! KEEP HAVING A GOOD TIME WHILE CAMPAIGNING, IF THIS IS WHAT RELAXES YOU. IT DON'T HAVE TO BE BORING!

While its cool to see Obama playing basketball I would much rather hear how he will help bring down gas prices, provide health care to those in need, how he plans to stimulate our economy and how he plans to bring our nation to a better standing in the world. Also, I sure would like to see our troops back home and to use that money to build our infrastructure and to help the people of America!
All the basketball, bowling, Rev. Wright stories are distractions that will cause us more chaos to come!

Go Obama!

Obama please challenge Hillary in the basketball court as she challenged you to bowl with her.

Hillary is out working and campaigning and BO is playing…..who is taking this election seriously????????

CNN has continually sunk to new lows in its reporting. A fair, unbiased, informative media is a component of a democracy. Unfortunately, the American media, including CNN, has become an ego driven endless commentary of the "reporters"..

where is the post?
Obama supporters can not play fair

They think the ABC debate was unfair- simply because it did not have the built-in pro-Obama bias and adulation of the previous debates.

They were ok with it when Hillary was getting the insulting, hateful personal questions.

Hate always backfires, people.

WOW, North Carolina Gov. says YES TO HILLARY!!!!!! while Obama is out playing basketball.

Hillary 08!

Hillary 08!

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of North Carolina’s Presidential Primary finds Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton 51% to 37%. Earlier this month, Obama led by twenty-three percentage points.
THE END IS COMING FOR CLINTON AND ABOUT TIME""""

Shoots but doesn't score is just like his flowery speeches. He will never go for another debate because he doesn't have the brain power to think on his feet. He also doesn't want any more of his skeletons falling out of his closet. He is afraid someone might ask about his homosexual, cocaine dealing buddy Sinclair or why the Hamas support him.

boo

Quite interesting after all of the Hillary bashing now the koolaid drinkers are upset cause their little boy is getting hisself picked on!

What a laugh! As always, the older people have to keep telling the yunguns' "grow up"!

Steven in Oregon
Yes, but Hillary panders to people….you called her Annie Oakley, well are you Michael Jordan?"
He may not be Michael Jordan, but at least we know that playing basketball has always been a love of his. I don think we have ever seen any video of Hillary shooting ANY type of gun at ANY time.

No,WE CANNOT…. debate, bowl, play basketball… what is next? Let me eat my waffle, maybe??

Too busy to debate, due to scheduling conflict?

And any other lame excuses for a person who aspires to be President of this country?

Go Hillary!!

Obama doing sports, must be a part of Fit Nation !! Others could learn from this guy

dave, that would be an Clinton move dearest….

I continue to love the way Obama brings us together. Read the venom from his devoted followers. I did not know snl had such infulence in the world, maybe because there was some truth to it.
He keeps talking about the change he will bring, to stay above the fray while you pit bulls attack is not change to me. To say they(congress) are stuck in old solutions(gas) while you will do different, without offering new ideas, is not new.

"His campaign says he did make a three-pointer after reporters were escorted off the court."

Well that is typical of the Obama folks.

Hillary does something fun and endearing: She's a shallow monster!
Obama does something fun and endearing: A Man of the people!

Stop the sexism!
go Hillary!

Obama you can do it yes we can yes we can yes we can Obama 08

Obama ain't know drama, I like the way you handle that baskeball, which position did you play in college, I bet Hillary and Bill together cannot guard you, Well that explains the entire Billary compaing Ex-president, wife and daughter triple teaming Obama and still loosing. Man Obama you are the man you can reule Canada too with that basketball skills. lol

andrewine, take your meeds… maybe the sun will start shinning on you

To Sky,

It's not the "free advertising," she simply knows she can crush him in a one-on-one debate.

…and excuse me Sky (get you head out of the clouds), Senator Clinton is far from someone who debates with "juvenile talk" unlike Senator
O Blah Blah!

…And you state: " he has a country to think about…" he's President now is he?

When Obama is president, Oprah, Michelle and Rev. Wright will set his agenda.

Well, this sums it up…he defintely qualifies to be President!! Way to go CNN for pointing this out!

If Obama can't even score against a college basketball program, what kind of leader of the free world will he make??!!

Obama 08

What's the purpose of this?

He doesn't have time to debate but it seems like he playing basketball everyday. Great! I suspect he'll somehow translate all this "court" experience into running the executive branch of the government.

HILLARY 08!

I thought that Obama didn't have time for anything but speaking to people. No time for a debate though. I'll just run from that and keep running on the basketball court.

He will! Just give him time. He will score in more ways than one!

Go Brack Go We will get you in the white house so we can put a basketball court in it ha ha Barack Obama 08

all talk & no game just like his politics…

AIR BALLLLL

Figures… Obama is all talk. And if he wins the nomination – America will discover this ball-hog doesn't have any substance and that his "team" of supporters includes terrorists, racist church leaders, and a wife previously ashamed of this country.

McCain will look like Michael Jordon playing a Jr-High team in the fall election.

Obama supporters can not play fair

They think the ABC debate was unfair- simply because it did not have the built-in pro-Obama bias and adulation of the previous debates.

They were ok with it when Hillary was getting the insulting, hateful personal questions.

Hate always backfires, people.

WHAT NEXT? OBAMA FOLLOWED INTO THE TOILET STALL?

To Mark Cross – However the NHL is also 90% Canadian. While they can't vote for Clinton, I guess they would want to endorse her since her pro-NAFTA history favors them.

50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama.

On Sunday, Obama scores 1 of 2 and CNN reports on the headline that Obama throws air ball. Today you say the same even though the update shows he did score! So if you can give an update then you can update that headline.

Can’t you just say, Obama plays with talented players.

Who are the biased reporters on this? What are their names?

Headline should say, coach says “next President of USA”

can obama stop wasting time and get to work? who cares if he can play basketball – there wont be time in the white house for that!!!

i just obama to drop out! I cant stand the guy!

Sen. Obama is a very intelligent man with 20+ years of public service, which included being a Community Organizer, a Civil Rights lawyer, working in the Illinois State Senate, currently holding a position in the U.S. Senate while he is now running for president of the USA.

He is the front-runner in the democratic race, and since he is more experienced than his opponent and there is no way she can catch up with his delegate lead, States won, and popular vote; it's a given he will be our nominee and win the general election as well ,because no one in a right state of mind wants a 3rd Bush term with McCain.

Having said all of this, it's nice to see Sen. Obama displaying more of his talents. He hasn't bowled since he was 16, but hey that's definitely not the case with basketball. He has skills on the basketball court.

Go Obama !

Yeah guar him boy you are leaving the next President of the United States open Barack Obama 08 We will Not Lose

Time for Basketball and media press

Why No TIME for a debate…Is he scared of Hillary?????

THIS IS SERIOUSLY WHY HE IS TOO BUSY TO HAVE ANOTHER DEBATE?! THIS IS A JOKE. I AM GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE FINALLY STARTING TO WAKE UP!

This is not what the primary is about nor the solutions to our problems.

Go Hillary!!!

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaq O’Neil have shot plenty of times and miss, what is your point?

National Press Club president Sylvia Smith responded today to a Daily News article reporting that club member Barbara Reynolds, a Hillary Clinton supporter, organized yesterday's breakfast talk with Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr.

Smith said by phone this morning that she still doesn't know if Reynolds supports Clinton, and doesn't care either way.

"Reverend Wright is newsworthy, period," Smith said.

But Wright wasn't as newsworthy two years ago when Reynolds first pitched Barack Obama's controversial pastor as a potential speaker for the press club, according to Smith.

At that time, the speaker's committee–of which Reynolds is now a part of, but wasn't at the time–didn't move forward with selecting Wright.

"He wasn't newsworthy then in the broader context," Smith said.

CNN I expect nothing more from you! Main stream news has become a joke and there is alot of resentment and frustration growing as the days go by. Why do you not report the news?? Instead your news station has become like Entertainment Tonight or something. You always seem to be looking for the next big scandal, or the story of the day. The frustration and resentment that is building towards the MSM i am afraid will continue with non stories like this. It will soon get to a point where there is a revolution against the MSM, maybe not tommorow but soon if this continues. You may have alot of power right now to push your lopsided agendas but soon if it continues YOUR chickens will come home to roost.

A presidential candidate has to have priorities especially when his campaign is falling apart. Obama doesn't really seem to care. I think even he knows he's done.

If we give Wright the stage… no one else has to say or DO anything at all.

Hate always backfires on the person who spews it.

They Kicked Hillary down and labeled her a racist… now they get to see it all come back around on them.

Obama is the sleaziest Politician this country has ever seen.

He's hiding from a debate and the Wright controversy by playing basketball. Nobody's asking him any questions, so he must feel safe there.

I think it is important to understand and observe Obama for who HE is not what we've seen in the past. He is unlike any other candidate, from the church he goes to, to his patriotism to even the sports and music he likes. Different doesn't mean deficient. It is interesting to see this man unfold.

I also think he will be a good leader. He will at least be genuine. I am not worried about him being a rookie in the White House because he will, without a doubt have a cabinet that will help him make great decisions for this country.

Obama 08

Well, it could have been worse. The ball could have wound up in the gutter – LOL

to comment to the gentleman who thinks Obama should take time to debate rather than shoot hoops……The only reason Hillary wants to debate right now….after their 22 debates….is because she is out of money and cannot afford to campaign in the remaining states. A debate is free advertising. Also because she is behind…no matter what she and her supporters spin…the facts are just plain the facts. She is behind and she won the PA primary by 9.3….Math is a fact also….not the double digits she needed. The person who is on the bottom always wants to debate because their only hope is to trash the other person. Obama doesnt need to put up with anymore juvenile trash talk , he has a country to think about…..AND….he doesnt need to give her the free advertising she so desparately needs.

I think this is GREAT! We need a President who is more relatable. Not someone who is so far removed from what normal, everyday life is like.

Go Obama!
Can wait unit May 6 in NC!

HE SCORED BIG TIME WITH JEREMIAH WRIGHT !!!!

Obama shoots, but doesn't score… HA!

Just like in his speeches, too much blah blah blah and no substance!!!

Go HILLARY'08

Hey CNN, why are you continuing to put the one hillary endorsement above all of the other stories that have come in after it? It keeps getting refreshed back to the top of the ticker, and the main tab on the front page. And why has the Rev. Wright story been placed strategically right under the ticker on the front page. Interesting?!?! Just one more thought… Maybe you could actually give a title for your stories that is a little less misleading in it's implications.

To Mark Cross,

Good insight, good call…

Go Hillary!!!!

Obama shouldn't be ridiculed for his poor basketball playing or his horrible bowling. He should be judged on his lack of experience and his insecure nature.

BARACK OBAMA is POLITICAL POISON,Thomas Sowell,national review online 4/29. With domestic policys from the 1960s, and foreign policies from the 1930s'B.O. is political poison.A black president is inevitable but we have to wait until we have a real canidate.

Very symbolic of what an Obama presidency would be like…bad shot selection, bad shots, bad execution and a whole lot of excuses!!

Hillary in 2008!!!

I think that it is a great use of his time! How many of those basketball players did he convince to vote for him? How many will talk to their friends about how they played ball with a presidential candidate?

Hilary talks sports while Obama plays sports with one of the most heralded programs in the land.

You can yell debate all you want. It is not going to happen before NC and IN. While you are whining about him ignoring you he is moving on to be with the people.

Obama shoots but doesn't score, Obama campaign but doesn't get nominee or President. I think Obama just want people donate money but
he don't want to be a President. If he really want to be a President he have to divorce from his pastor Rev. Wrong or tell him to shut-up let me
do on my own…..I don't need your help. I think Rev. Wrong he not just damaged only Obama campaign he damaged all the black people and
all the color in this country because the race start from him. So, we must
vote for someone that going to beat McCain in general election and Obama not going to be that guy…..he not going to win in general election.

nothing wrong with the next president staying fit. but keep your eye on old gir hillary, she's being to quiet lately. i haven't heard her shrill voice in about a day and a half.

Goodbye Obama.

He won't score in the General Election either!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary!!

LOL… his basketball skillz are as good as his recent political skillz (Rev Wright, William Ayers, Hamas, etc).

Hillary's full-court press is closing down Obama's b-league team!

Shoots but doesn't score may be the last words from the Obama campaign, when they finally turn out the lights, and Obama goes back to his boring Senate job.

where is my post?- not vulgar or nasty enough for CNN?
First they called us Wal-Mart democrats.

Instead of peeling away the college educated, high income Hillary supporters, we saw through the hype of hope propaganda.

We strongly united behind Hillary, the champion of ALL democrats.

We stood in solidarity behind ALL democrats regardless of race, ethnicity, income, age, geography, gender or creed.

The strategy of hate while preaching unity will not fool nor win over voters.

Lame.

I guess the NBA (consisting of 90% black) is going to endorse Obama. I hope we see Hillary with a hockey stick so the NHL (consisting of 90% white) will endorse her.

To those who criticize Obama's game, I would gladly see what Hillary would do on a basketball court or any other sports for that matter. It would be great for the media, Obama should issue a basketball challenge to her to see if she would accept. If she can accept that, maybe then he could consider another debate with her.

btw…..PaulvsClinton is going on right now!!!

CNN cant look at Obama and how he stands on issues, Obama doesn't know where he stands on the issues!

Hillary tells lies

Obama IS a lie

OMG! Can I get a witness?

i could care less about obama's ineptitude on the court, much like his political career, I'm more curious if UNC can get into trouble for this? I hate Tobacco road basketball… i hope they lose a scholly.

Obama is so connected with REAL people. And to the haters…there is no need for another debate.

For what the last one provided we could have saved time and contacted GLOBE, THE NATIONAL INQUIRE, or MEDIAOUTTAKE or something.

Obama 08″
Next stop May 6th North Carolina

I guess the Iraq war and $4 gas, and other such trivial issues do not exsist anymore cause now we have to have this all important article to worry about. I guess it is a bit of a pile on now. Playing Rev Wright every 5 minutes is not enough, now this would be president can't make a bball shot, he can't bowl, that is terrible. I will tell you what remember the stairs that Rocky ran up in the movie,who ever can get to the top first wins the nomination, I think Hillary should throw that challenge out there. Maybe that will be the headline tomorrow.

It is refreshing to see that our future President is still young and active enough to play b-ball with those young guys. Its not really news, but it is an uplifting thought that here is a story without negativity.

The guy is everything Hillary is not….and that includes being human.

OBAMA 08 and beyond

Leave this man alone, he could arguably be the next great american president. leave him alone!

YOU GUYS ARE LIKE PERON WAITING TO RIP HIM APART. WILL YOU BE SATISFY THEN? I DONT' THINK SO.

All you Hillary fans, he is doing what he does best. At least he is not trying to sip alcohol with a bunch of blue collars and using their dilect to impress them for votes. Obama is the best candidate whether the media agrees to it or not.

To: bloggers enough, the facts are there the Clintons did start using the race card on Obama since SC. You are so blind not to see what is there because it doesn't make Hillary look good.

CNN: Let's see if you post this.

CNN, brilliant news! The folks at BBC must be amused, to say the least.

He can at least run up and down the court with 19 year old stars. Let's see that with Hillary Clinton and John McCain…now that'd be news!

*Imagining McCain running with his little hands wavering* hahaha.

Dear Ummm,

You are obviously for Hillary, who is behind. If she were the front-runner, she wouldn't debate either. Why? Because she is a manipulative and mean-spirited and only thinks about Hillary.

Anybody who votes for a self-centered selfish 100 million dollar crybaby is delusional.

O8bama

It will be nice to have a president who is in good shape and sets a good example for us.

Ok

I love Obama, but i dont care about this. We already know his first love is basketball and he had alot of fun. Everyone has seen it on youtube

Issues please

A black man who can't shoot hoops?! What else is he hiding! Let's water-board him and get to the truth.

Wow … Is this news worthy CNN?

Go back to College Obama… You Can Run, But, You're Brains out of Wacki.

Go back to 1st grade, Grif. Learn the difference between you're and your. Thanks.

This is what it is all about. Unfortunately the other candidates in the race do not have the physical stamina to keep in the game. The same is true of having the physical attributes to be President of the United States. The game has changed…it requires youth and stamina to deal with two wars …….a GLOBAL ECONOMY ( all new over the last eight years) and a constently changing global arena.
GO OBAMA !!! By the way CNN Hillary Supporters this should get as much headlines as the Gov. Endorsement. Seems that ALL of Obama's recent Super Delegates get small print at THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. Are you folks making a side change to keep this Primary Season going ???? Shame on you !!! (This probably will not get posted).

He's shooting for the Presidency, but he won't score there either

To Jessica,

Senator Clinton will be spending her time more wisely, like sitting her butt in the Oval Office.

Why don't you go back to eating your bon bons, and driving your yuppie butt around in your yuppie SUV!

Get a life!!

Go Hillary!!!!

He's scoring where it matters.

Hillary should challenge you Obama to a basket Ball match up. How about that for spin?

Despite the black mailing the media have had on Obama, reasonable people still search through the rubish and find their guy.

God bless America.
The Media want to tieRen. Wright to Obama at all cost instigate confructation between the candidates.
Or trying to prolong Democratic race for their own benefit. The longer the race drags on the more money the Media get on ads.

Who is stupid? Most of us blogger buy into it by writing what they want to hear .hate. insulting words, negative attacks whereby tearing the democratic party apart.
say no you negative posting or blogger.
God Bless you all.

How did playing ball turn to racism? let it go… let it gooooo

I guess whenever ones sees Bush, uneducated, stupid and idot should come up.

Did you hear him today…" We are fighting people who will strap a bomb to themselves and blow innocent people up" – idiot, didn't you know this before you went into Iraq… oh, I for got you had never traveled outside of the US before becoming President and you do not like to read….

Do you know what Hillary does for relaxation? She cleans up her closets…

Clinton/Obama 2008

And yet he's still beating the pantsuit off of Hillary.

Nice bias, CNN. It's amazing that the mighty media can get manipulated by a hasn't-been-relevant-for-decades show like Saturday Night Live.

I agree with you wholeheartedely Darth Vadik… the sorry state of the mainstream media today is downright depressiing, as is the ignorance of so much of the American public who buy into this crap. It's true that if you don't inform yourself about the issues, you deserve what you get. It's too bad that the small percentage who do take the time out to educated themselves have to suffer becuase of those who don't.

Good that he's keeping in shape. He has a long campaign ahead. Go Obama, make a basket and shoot straight for the White House.

We are with you.

O8bama

Hillary bowling, Obama bowling,basketball….i guess the only person 'scoring' is bubba.

The next president of the United States is John Mc Cain. Obama will make Mondales defeat look mild. Expect most swing states to go Mc Cain. While Obama barely wins CA and NY. The Dems seems destined for defeat every time.

Gore=Kerry=Obama= LOSERS!

Kind of like he'll do in this election….shoot but not score.

Hey CNN, why don't you do a story on OBAMA's LEAD and the FACT that Hillary will have to win the remaining contests by 70% to catch him?

Oh wait, Clinton News Network. You've got to do everything you can to keep Hillary in this. How about another GUTTER BALL story or Barack can't win WHITE people story. That should help. If not, there is always Rev Wright. He strikes FEAR in the hearts of old White people. Yeah, that should do it.

What about the Clintons' $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009? Don't you read NYT, or WSJ… Come on CNN, give us THE REAL BIG NEWS…

hey, that first move to the basket wasn't half bad but I am surprised he made it out in one piece when he was on the court with Tyler.

How is this news? Obama missed a couple shots on the basketball court? Are you serious? He's running for president, not the NBA.

McCain recently argued that we throw Russia out of G8. Why don't you report on that?

Ya'll know white men can't jump, Obama can only half-jump
You guys quit picking on my man, Obama. We is going to the white house, where for the first time a black woman can legally sleep there. What kind of comment is that? I'm sorry, I'm such a racist. I just think with the right side of my brain? I walk to the beat of a different drummer? I'm not disfunctional, I'm just different. I am black and you white people owe me for all my suffering.

go obama go.
just keep getting the superdelegates.

obama 08

First they called us Wal-Mart democrats.

Instead of peeling away the college educated, high income Hillary supporters, we saw through the hype of hope propaganda.

We strongly united behind Hillary, the champion of ALL democrats.

We stood in solidarity behind ALL democrats regardless of race, ethnicity, income, age, geography, gender or creed.

The strategy of hate while preaching unity will not fool nor win over voters.

Obama shoots, but doesn't score, isn't that kind of like his voting record?

You boys at CNN at fixated with Obama and basketball! Enough already! Why does playing basketball make on qualified to be President? Why don't you cover something more substantial, like his views on critical issues and his solutions to the numerous problems are nation is facing. I can't recall even one CNN piece where they looked at his stand on Iraq or the economy with any depth. A reporter's job is to get candidates to answer complex and tough questions, not coo as he/she yucks it up for the cameras.

Tar Heels supports Sen. Clinton.

Let's get over all this doom and gloom over Rev Wright and get on with winning the Presidency. Obama is young ,moral, decent , honest
attractive………all the things Hillary isn't and more. OBAMA2008

Look, I'm rooting for Obama and so I like any coverage of him that is not tawdry negativism. But I would have to agree wtih what I imagine many HRC supporters will say here…how is this news?

His time would be better spent keeping an eye on Billary Clinton

He's too "busy" campainging to debate yet he still finds time to play b-ball for a photo op…

WIMP!

I don't think the Clintons are racists.
I don't think Geraldine Ferraro is racist.

But the Obama campaign used the strategy of hate to advantage Obama.

What goes around, comes around.

Watch the strategy of hate backfire to disadvantage Obama with Rev. Wright.

Noticed the subtle jab in the headlines…"doesn't score" nice slant here again……..must be nice, run a broke campaign but have everybody else do it for you, love those connections

He's scoring with Super Delegates…

YES WE CAN….

Go back to College Obama… You Can Run, But, You're Brains out of Wacki.

Many people in North Carolina have a saying for people who live in Cary North Carolina (most residents from northern States) Cary. Containment area for relocated Yankees.

Cant' debate, can't bowl, can't play basketball, NObama give it up!!

Go Hillary!!!!

And why is this news????????????

Come on CNN.

Yep same with his bid for the White House shoots but doesn't score.

Thats ok! Good to see Sen. Obama is not a Flip Floper Like Hillary.. Every state Hillary is something different to buy votes! Will the real Hillary stand up!!
Just keep scoring with the Super D's like you've been doing Sen. Obama!
It's already a SLAM DUNK on Hillarious Rotten Clinton!!

Obama shoots, but doesn't score!

Great headline for a Candidate that is no longer viable!

Yes, but Hillary panders to people….you called her Annie Oakley, well are you Michael Jordan?

Half-white men cant jump.

And this is news??????????

Smart coach. Let the "next president of the United States" win will ya!

GO OBAMA

As a 39 year old guy in decent shape and plays basketball on a regular, let me tell you it's no day in the park trying to run with 18-20 something year olds. I feel your pain Obama but we are in denial about getting old and our glory days on the court aren't we!

Do you ice your knees after you finish playing too? LMAO!!

Obama is a joke.

Hey CNN – why don't you tell us about THE NEWS OF THE DAY -
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has requested nearly $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009, almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year. Isn' it more important than how much Obama scored on the court?

I'd love to see Hillary's lard-butt out on a basketball court.

Yes, Obama you find time to play hoops but you don't have time to debate. What a whimp!!

This headline just shows the media bias that the media has had against Obama since the SNL skit.

What does this have to do with anything?

Obama '08

Coach Williams was correct in his description: "the next President of the United States". Under fire, Senator Obama keeps his cool and continues to relate to THE PEOPLE.
Obama 08!

Todays "media" (more like entertainment) really pisses me off.

And the ignorance of some Americans who buy this crap, infuriates me.

Maybe we deserve everything we are getting for being so dumb.

Looks fit and agile, might be a good role model for all of our fat BIG GULP sipping kids in America…..or we can follow the Hillary Clinton example by lying, cheating and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals…

Man, CNN has been on an Obama-bash for several days now. Gotta love it. The fair, unbiased reporting is refreshing…

So this is supposed to be news?
