Barack's Secret to Success: Basketball?

Some people look for luck in rabbit's feet, four-leaf clovers or shooting stars -- but the leading Democratic candidate for President, Barack Obama, harnesses his chi on the hardwood.

According to Barack's people, his one-and-only superstition falls on election days -- when he has to play hoops. Otherwise he fears the wrath of the election gods -- who will punish him with a loss if he doesn't play ball.

Barack's family is big into basketball -- his brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, is the head coach for the men's team at Brown University. This photo -- first seen on Wonkette.com -- was taken in 2006 as Barack played hoops with American soldiers stationed in Africa.

Let's see Hillary do that.

241.

i think obama is an intelligent man.
there are millions of intelligent men walking the street on any given day going to great jobs.
But Obama does not have the right stuff for the presidency. Quite possible he can grow into it, but he is not ready to be president of any major corporation, much less the greatest country on earth, especially when this country is facing problems faced by no other president before Bush.

you respect a boy scout but you dont call him to run the Boy Scout Operation, balance the books and drum up more business for the Boys Scouts when they are in need of a Corporate Leader. Obama might never be presidential material but what i do know is that if he ever reaches that status, its not now. no way in hell would you trust this man who stumbles on anything he's not prepared for to run the United States of America!

251. The republican's will try to swift boat Obama like they did MaX Clelland who lost his limbs in Vietnam...a war hero. If they can do that to a good decent human being who sacrificed much for us what can I say about who THEY are are. These are people with no moral compass and true hypocrits. I'm hearing "Oh don't even go there to criticize McCain a war hero" but what they did to Clelland is unforgivable. I have great respect for McCain. We are retired military and used to belong to the republican party but no more. We are supporting Obama. I'm hearing from many of our military firends who are doing the same.

254.

read book on best seller list by Jonah Goldberg. lots of dirty Obama secrets in there that no one's talking about.
and the best part is all the claims are backed up by facts that you can confirm. it's all a matter of public record.
one of Obama's closest friends heads a group that tried to destroy the Pentagon. And the founder of the group boasted after 911 that he wished he hadnt done more..... FACT FOLKS....FACT! YOU WLL ALSO BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE WHERE THIS PERSON WAS INTERVIEWED AND ASKED ABOUT IT, AND HE ADMITTED IT AND WHAT'S MORE, HE IS PROUD OF IT.

u obamaettes will want your vote back after reading just what you might be sending to the white house

255. With all the millions of Democrats in this country, one would think we could come up with better choices. I don't like Hillary or Obama. I wouldn't want either as my President. Our elections are about who has the most money to spend and who tells the most believable lies. And, we still have nine more months of this nonsense! Thank God the Olympics are this summer and hopefully we won't have to listen to silly politics for a couple of weeks.
