On the opening night of Major League Baseball two days ago, President Dubya threw out the opening pitch of the Braves vs. Nationals game. The ball he threw would have been too high even if UNC-Asheville 7’7 Center Kenny George was at the plate. It was that situation that led me to think that if Obama wins the presidency, we will overcome the “I only play polo or golf” image our past presidents have had. He’s known to be quite a decent basketball player and talent in basketball tends to carry over into other sports. However, this was proved to be absolutely false after Obama bowled a gentleman’s 37 on his campaign trail in Pennsylvania. Yes, that’s 37 pins on 10 rolls.

Should they have put up the bumpers for him? More than half of the girls at my second grade birthday party could beat that score. John McCain can barely lift a 15 pound ball let alone throw it, yet I’m pretty confident he could roll into triple digits without a problem. I can also imagine Hillary wearing one of those butchy bowling gloves the pros use and knocking down some pins. Mr. Obama, please go to the playground and start dominating some pick up games so that we can all forget about this.
