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.

256.
obama grabs every position Clinton takes to play it safe. So far he hasnt come up with ONE independent thought of his own except for the fact that he seems very anxious to talk with enemies of amreica without having an agenda to do so which i find very curious.

additional proof is his lazy attitude to piggyback on Clintons' genius ad.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL OBAMA THAT IN ORDER TO ANSWER THE PHONE HE NEEDS TO SHOW UP TO DO SO. HE GOT ONE LUCKY VOTE WITH IRAQ BUT HE WAS ABSENT FOR 100-PLUS VOTES. SO WHAT'S HIS ANSWER TO THAT?

YOU NEED TO SHOW UP IN ORDER TO BE THERE TO ANSWER THE PHONE.

his numbers are stablizing - a sign of people finally catching on to him ya think?

257. you might not LIKE hillary clinton, but she's the one with the ability to get the job done and does every single time she's given the task. this isnt a johnny-come-lately thing this woman does. this is a passion.

when we want someone we must "like" we call up our friends and spend the weekend together.
we need a leader.

be mature enough to put your personal feelings aside and look at the facts and the results each candidate brings to the table.

258. I will tell integrity over experience any day... if you look at past Presidents there were many without so called experience and George Bush had experience his second term and look at what a disaster that man should be impeached or imprisoned for war crimes he is an idiot

259. Do you think that's the case Robbie? I guess that we shall see if you are right that the republicans do retain the White House. We don't know. As retired military we are supporting this "islamic prick" as you call him...Barak Obama. Your ugly desperate post tells me you are scared at what the outcome could be in November. My previous post on here only proves that I am right as far as the ugliness of the republicans and what they have to say..with much shallowness. I've worked on many campaigns and have learned thru the years that those who profess to be the most "moral" and "loving" are THE most hateful. You proved my point.

260. Apparently, Obama told media outlets that he'd rather be Lebron James right now...
instead of running for president.

Hmmmmmmmmm......

When fox asked Lebron about this - he did not say anything.

Wonder what Hillary would say?

261. Can someone please tell all of the people who continue to believe the email smears about Obama the following:

Obama IS a Christian. It is funny that, on one side he catches flak for false information on being a Muslim, but on the other, he catches flak because of the Christian church be belongs to.

Obama DOES recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Obama WAS SWORN INTO OFFICE ON THE BIBLE.

I don't know all of the other smears, otherwise I would answer them one by one.

Check your facts - not by going to more sites that spout the same crap, but by going to INDEPENDENT (by which I mean, unaffiliated) sites like http://www.factcheck.org. An independent organization that checks ALL of the candidates statements, rumors, or smears against them.
