Obama, Basketball, and the Never Ending Race
Jacketless and surrounded by staffers, Secret Service, and press, Obama stopped by the home of Andy and Melissa Evers in Union Mills, IN, yesterday – the second time the candidate has made a media event out of visiting an Indiana voter’s home.
A farming family, the Evers welcomed the motley crew onto their property while Obama’s multi-bus motorcaded idled on the sleepy country road in front of their farm. About twenty of the Evers’ neighbors and friends came to mingle with the candidate and to discuss issues like the economy and gas prices while the candidate sat at a picnic table in the backyard - press surrounded the otherwise normal conversation.
After about 25 minutes, Obama announced it was time to leave. One of the neighbors wondered if Obama had the time to shoot some hoops with the Evers’ son, 14-year-old Aaron Villicana. Rolling up his sleeves and heading over to the basketball hoop in the driveway, the always competitive candidate said, “We’ll play a quick game of Pig.”
The game – traditionally referred to as Horse – is played by each participant taking a shot. If the shot is made, the challenger attempts to make the same shot. If that person misses, he is awarded a letter. The first one to spell out the name of the animal, in this case Pig, is the loser.
Obama let Aaron shoot first, noting the kid’s “home court advantage.” Aaron missed. Obama took the ball and said, “Let’s see what I got.” Obama missed. “As an older guy, this dimming light is a disadvantage,” he explained as dusk approached.
Aaron held his own against Obama, who just this week played with the UNC Tarheels - the very same team that was in the NCAA playoffs last month. The score was P-I to P- I and remained such for some time as both Aaron and Obama missed shot after shot after shot. Obama joked, “My shot is broke! We are in Indiana – we’re supposed to be making these.” Indiana is, after all, the Hoosier State.
“We want to make it close and add to the drama,” he said with a smile. Of course everybody observing immediately likened the pickup game to the race for the Democratic nomination. With no end in sight it began drizzling. An audio technician from one of the television networks holding a boom mic finally said what everyone watching was thinking. “Come on, Senator, put it to bed.”
“You know, he’s tough,” Obama replied. “He keeps on coming back. He’s like Hillary!” The spectators all laughed and Obama took another shot. Swish. Aaron missed the shot and the victory was Obama’s. Read into this if you want - or don’t.

Playing basketball maybe they played the game horse but changed the name to Hillary? She kinda resembels a horse!!
McCain in 08
Did Obama find these people clinging to “guns, religion and racism” too?
Nice of him to spend some valuable photo op time with the little people that need him to fix America’s “broken soul” (Michelle Obama’s words at a recent UCLA appearance).
I wonder if Hillary would get involved into a one on one with Barack? On the court that is. Rules would state the one that scores the most points wins. Not the person who takes the most shots, or has a higher field goal percentage. The first person to score 21 baskets wins.It’s that easy!! Super Ball Players have no say in this matter!!
Tony, you must be confused about resembling a horse, have you look at Michelle Obama, she looks like and over sized MOOSE. Big mouth, nose , butt, she’s really UGLY. Oh and by the way their are some beautiful horses out their. Maybe that is what you are saying, Hillary is beautiful.

I know its silly season in Politics but i think that reseved for politicians not you. Lets not forget Hillarys staged convoy to the gas station to discuss pricing only to be followed by a host of oversized gas guzzlers. Shes the opportunist and always have been. Remember Bosnia!!!!
I was hoping Obama would lose to the kid.

___________________________________________
Oh I agree, they all pander to the cameras. My issue is that Obama views these same people as somehow ignorant or desperate (certainly he still maintains “bitter”)…and his wife feels the entire nation has a “broken soul” that only her husband can fix.
The condescencion from those two is staggering, then he’s playing up to them like nothing was ever said about them?
As readers access Obama’s autobiography, and take a second look at Gregory’s original quotes (1,2), and scan his most recent (which I assume he will continue working on) updates (even assuming Dreams From My Father is a forgery in some sense) two conclusions are inevitable:
It will become clear, that Obama shares and identifies with significant parts of Wright’s Nationalist Black Ideology. An ideology lacing Obama’s Value System and Political Message. Second conclusion is that Obama
Knew Perfectly Well, exactly the same Jeremiah Wright he saw on Monday. He knew this specific Jeremiah for 23 years of his life!
Obama’s political coffin is open and waiting for him. The nails are scattered on the floor, and the hammer is ready. Wright will speak, and the whispers which we are hearing, will close the lid on this Political Fairytale.
The whispers:
[begin quote:]But some longtime Wright supporters said Wright’s in-your-face appearance at the National Press Club was no different from what parishioners regularly experienced in church.
“What you saw is what we saw every single week,” said Brenda McGadney-Douglass, an associate professor at the University of Toledo who attended Wright’s Monday appearance and was baptized by him. “This is exactly the way things go in our church.” [:end quote] [source: Time]
And this, from The New York Post, via Sweetness & Light:
“After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn’t know about Jeremiah’s views during those years, that he wasn’t familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn’t hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal,” [post]
“Jeremiah doesn’t care if he derails Obama’s candidacy or not . . . He knows what he’s doing. Obviously, he’s not a dumb man. He knows he’s not helping.” [post]
Wright has said the reason he has begun granting interviews and making public appearances now is that he wants to defend black churches. [post]
“Rev. Wright, as well as other senior members of his church, believe that Obama has betrayed over 20 years of their supposed friendship.” [post]
The source added, “After 20 years of loving Barack like he is one of their own, after he was embraced by this congregation as a brother in Christ, after his pastor was a father figure to him and gave him credibility in a city he had not grown up in and in a black community that was suspect of someone from Hawaii and Harvard, he thanks him by not allowing him to speak publicly at his announcement last year? [post]
“A lot of people in the church believe they were there for this man when no one else was, and a lot of people don’t believe it any more when Obama claims he loves the man who did so much for him,” the source added. [post]
***
I bet Wright is soon going to drop a bomb, and Clinton will carry Carolina along with Indiana. Super-delegates will delicately tip-toe over to our cause.
As Barry rose out of no-where, so he will sink into nothing.
Obama is about to finally get baptized by that fire he mentioned…and it looks like a political incineration is in store for him.
Clinton just has to hang in there - Florida and Michigan, you are soon to rejoin our fold! Six days to go.
RE: Comment by BB
Obviously, neither Michelle nor Hillary are pretty women. So? But, Hillary recently told voters to bet on her…the filly. I have owned horses, bred horses and sold horses. I know horses! Hillary is no young filly. More like a “nag” I would think! Webster’s definition of the word nag…an old or inferior horse.
New Yorkers already bet on her and she has cost them 40,000 jobs. Maybe she is talking about making a bet that will cost more??
The welfare queen stereotype (1976- ) is one of the pictures that white Americans have in their heads about black women. It sees them as living comfortably on welfare (the dole) bringing up a big family without a husband, with children from different fathers. It views black women as unwilling to work, unwilling to control their (apparently considerable) sex drive and unwilling to better themselves.
It is the stereotype that Shirley Q. Liquor plays for laughs.
Changes in the law in the 1990s outlawed welfare queens. You can no longer be on welfare forever. But even when the law allowed it, most welfare queens - women living on welfare as a way of life - were not black but white!
Most people on welfare are not black and about half of all blacks are middle class.
You would never know these things from the stereotype. That shows you how far from the truth it is.
But a stereotype is not so much based on hard-headed facts as on what it is convenient for the stereotyper to believe. Here the welfare queen shines:
She supports white ideas of blacks as poor, oversexed and not particularly bright.
She takes the blame for the troubles that poor blacks have. That points the blame away from whites, allowing them - and the country at large - to wash their hands of black poverty.
She does not have a bad life: she gets paid for doing nothing!
She gives the Republican party an excuse to cut public spending on the poor, therefore cutting taxes for the rich.
Like any good racist stereotype it is at once racist and yet hides racism!
You would not believe it now, but back in the 1960s the poor were were pictured as being mainly white - as they in fact are! It was only in the 1970s that “black” and “poor” came to mean almost the same thing. As if there were barely any poor whites or well-to-do blacks.
The true face of welfare is not some 19-year-old black woman with three children and one on the way, but a white woman in her 20s with one child.
The term “welfare queen” comes from Ronald Reagan when he ran for president in 1976. He told the story of a black woman who made $150,000 from gaming welfare. She drove a Cadillac, he informed us.
The press tried to find this woman. They wanted to put her on the evening news. They never found her. Reagan had made it up. Yet the idea stuck - because it is a convenient lie for well-to-do whites to believe.
The bit of the stereotype that does have some truth to it, sad to say, is the number of black women who are bringing up children without a husband. In 1994 about half of all households with black children had no father at home. Compare that to one in five for white children - which is how it was for black children once upon a time back in 1960. But that is another story.
-OBAMA HAS TIME TO PLAY BASKETBALL, SAY SPEECHES, YACK, YACK,YACK,(EMPTY WORDS)…
-BUT HAS NO TIME TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS OR ANYTHING TO HELP US IN GAS PROBLEM AND OTHER PROBLEMS WE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW.
- HE HAS TIME TO CRITICISE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR SUGGESTING A SOLUTION EVEN A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO HELP AMERICANS IN GAS PRICES PROBLEMS…
-THIS IS A CANDIDATE WHO SAID HE’S FOR A “CHANGE”???
-CHANGE FOR WHAT??? YES HE CAN CHANGE!!!
- HE CAN START BY CHANGING HIS PASTOR FOR 20 YRS. - L O L!!!!
WHO WILL BELIEVE THAT BARRACK OBAMA WERE NEVER SEATED ON THE PEWS ???
AND HE’S NOT PRESENT??? “NOT EVEN ONCE”??? WHEN PASTOR J. WRIGHT Jr. IS MAKING THOSE INCENDIARY SPEECHES & RACISM REMARKS??? (IN 20 YEARS????)
—JEREMIAH WRIGHT Jr. IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE THINGS TO OBAMA:—
- CONVERTED HIM TO JOIN TRINITY CHURCH IN CHICAGO….
- INSTRUMENTAL IN BUILDING FAITH TO GOD
- PERFORM THEIR MARRIAGE CEREMONY
- BAPTIZED HIS CHILDREN
- WHO IS LIKE AN UNCLE TO HIM
- CLOSE AND RESPECTED FRIEND
- BUT NOW OBAMA IS SAYING THAT HIS PASTOR J. WRIGHT Jr. DISRESPECTED HIM AND DID NOT REPRESENT HIS VALUES. (ONLY NOW AFTER 20 YEARS OF ASSOCIATION???)
- PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE TO THEIR PASTOR JEREMIAH WRIGHT Jr. WILL NOW FIND OBAMA A “TRAITOR” TO HIS “FORMER” PASTOR FOR 20 YEARS???
- WRIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WHEN HE SAID THAT “BARRACK OBAMA WILL SAY ANYTHING AS A POLITICIAN AND EVEN WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS TRUSTED PEOPLE TO GET ELECTED???
- DNC LEADERS, SUPERDELEGATES AND ELDERS SHOULD WAKE UP!!!
- SUPPORT AND VOTE HILLARY CLINTON BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!
- IF YOU WANT TO WIN THIS NOVEMBER AND GET BACK THE WHITE HOUSE FROM GOP NOMINEE.
-INDIANA WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT SENATOR CLINTON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR DEMOCRATS TO WIN AGAINST THE GOP NOMINEE….

You are all disgusting, hateful, bigoted and you make an intelligent person, (and there are a few on here) sick to their stomach.
Although to the undeducated Clinton Supporters, this is the norm.
he has time to play bball but not to debate, hope he wasted alot of valuable time going after those 20 votes, of coarse they may not even vote for him after beating the young kid, I would have let him win, but hey, I like kids, they are not a punishment to me.

You are wrong, I am tolerant of others opinions, as long as they are fact based or adult in nature, but just because someone doesn’t agree with someone else that comes out with.

You can not label them as bigots
I would play basketball too because all the media wants to talk about is Rev. Wright and not the issues. I can’t remember the last time I have heard him talk about the issues at hand. The American people’s issues.

I know perfectly well the difference between a racist and a bigot, thank you and if you were to pay attention to my entries on these blogs you would find that there are several points that the Democrats champion that I defend as steadfastly as I do the Republicans. Indeed I have voted for puh-lenty of Democrats in my day as well as Republicans. For me it is not a question of party, nor of race, nor of gender. It’s a question of who I agree with and who I don’t and who I trust most of the three. It is for these reasons why I support McCain and do not support Hillary or Obama.
As far as your gender or age…I could care not one bit. Being an old white woman does not an expert in identifying the beliefs of others make. While age brings experience it does not always bring wisdom.

I’m still waiting to see what she thinks is factual.
Beverly, Houston
Heres somthing factual, I truly believe Obama is a good man, I dont believe he holds any of the value that Wright does, His associates are purely for political gain and not his friends, So lets not talk about the rumors, associations, or his pastor, lets talk about his policies, how much are taxes are going to go up, how he plans on keeping me and my children safe, how he’s going to fund all the programs he’s campaigned on. These aren’t racial, there honest questions.
To: JD
It is nice you respect other peole’s opinions, as long as they are fact based and adult.
The things you say about Obama are not factual, they are your perspective . I understand perfectly why he stayed Wright’s church. You people act as if Wright talked like this every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I also understand the non-relationship with Bill Ayers.
If you want facts, look up all the dirt on the Clintons past and present. It far outweighs anything that Obama has supposedly done.
Great finally someone that understands why he stayed with Trinity Church. Please explain and while you are at it let us know if he believes in Black Liberation Theology.

Now we are getting somewhere. Are we to believe Obama is just your run of the mill politician. One of his main points is he is a different kind of politician. I like facts.
Look up peterfpaul.com to see the fraud case on Clinton.
Truth
there all run of the mill politicians, He’s just trying a different angle to get elected, That doesn’t make him bad, in fact as far as he’s gotten on what little experience he has I’d call him pretty smart.
Jobs come, jobs go, economy goes up, economy goes down, prices go up oh yeah they just go up. Part of economic cycle. Problem is people think government is answer. Do not realize they take your taxes start large beuraucratic programs that do nothing for anyone but the people who work within the beau racy and than at next election promise more beuraucratic programs. There needs to be house cleaning. We need to get rid of earmarks, do away with all programs that are spending more on the bureaucracy than the people they are supposed to help, and a line item veto couldn’t hurt.
Sheryl
you could write a book on all the bad things that the Clintons have been involved in. Goggle Clintons’ + scandel, then watch the page fill up.
Mike never said he was bad, never said he was stupid, just pointing out the fact he is just the ordinary politician with the same promises, same untrue sound bites, and willing to say or do whatever it takes to win the nomination. Most of his supporters believe otherwise.
Truth
well said. I wished the Goverment would make people accountable for there own actions, tell them no programs to help you out the mess your in, you got in there you get out. Problem is hardly no one would vote for them.
Truth
Didn’t say you thought he was bad, basically I was agreeing. And my point was I know why he’s doing it.
If you believe there is dirt on Hillary or McCain ask yourself this question—why is it that Obama or the media not using it?
anyway you already your chance to vote

The founder of “Black Liberation Theology”, I believe his name is something like Cone (sp?) was an admitted COMMUNIST.
To see the shocking Scandal Index of the Clinton years, as compiled by the liberal Progressive Review (http://prorev.com) is to appreciate the Clinton’s 24/7/365 belief that any progress in their leftist domestic and foreign affairs agenda could only be realized through the most nefarious activity – much of which fit neatly into the criminal category. Under the listing of “Records Set’” by the Clinton administration (read: co-presidency), Progressive Review cites the following, of which I will only list a sampling:
▪ Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates.
▪ Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation.
▪ Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify.
▪ First president sued for sexual harassment.
▪ First president accused of rape.
▪ First president to be held in contempt of court.
▪ First president to be impeached for personal malfeasance.
▪ First first lady to come under criminal investigation.
First frined who was caught stealing docs in their socks.
▪ Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign-contribution case.
▪ Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions.
▪ Number of Starr-Ray investigation convictions or guilty pleas to date: one governor, one associate attorney general and two Clinton business partners: 14.
▪ Number of Cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 5.
▪ Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine that were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47.
▪ Number of these convictions during Clinton’s presidency: 33.
▪ Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61.
Obama plays basketball to show he is not elite? What headlines! At least that is one thing he is good at.
*************** GO HILLARY ************* DON’T GIVE IN ***********************
▪ Number of congressional witnesses who pleaded the Fifth Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 122.
▪ Guilty pleas and convictions obtained by Donald Smaltz in cases involving charges of bribery and fraud against former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and associated individuals and businesses: 15; acquitted or overturned cases (including Espy): 6.
▪ Clinton machine crimes for which convictions were obtained: drug trafficking, 3; racketeering, extortion, bribery, 4; tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement, 2; fraud, 12; conspiracy, 5; fraudulent loans, illegal gifts, 1; illegal campaign contributions, 5; money laundering, 6; perjury, et al.
well of course obama plays basketball and is sports minded,…hes black. according to rev wright, “blacks think with the right side of their brain”. this is why they excell at SPORTS and things such as singing and dancing. wright stated that whites think with the left side of their brian and this is the saide of the brain that allows for the ability to “think logically and to do math”. what study was done that shows ths to be true? now im white, cant sing, cant dance and i dont even like basketball but i do have 3 college degrees and i do like math. well? anybody able to throw some facts and statistics this way? is wright right?

To see the shocking Scandal Index of the Clinton years, as compiled by the liberal Progressive Review (http://prorev.com) is to appreciate the Clinton’s 24/7/365 belief …
▪ Number of times that Clinton figures who testified in court or before Congress said that they didn’t remember, didn’t know, or something similar: Bill Kennedy, 116; Harold Ickes, 148; Ricki Seidman, 160; Bruce Lindsey, 161; Bill Burton, 191; Mark Gearan, 221; Mack McLarty, 233; Neil Egglseston, 250; John Podesta, 264; Jennifer O’Connor, 343; Dwight Holton 348; Patsy Thomasson, 420; Jeff Eller, 697; and Hillary Clinton, 250.

why is that hillary is able to spout off logical answers to all questions posed to her but obama has to take time to think about it before he answers? is he afraid that he may say somethihng that he really doesnt beleive in? when you have to think before you answer i have to think that you arent speaking your true mind.
breanna; This man has been trashed for things that he has never siad, so it would be logical to asume he may be fomulating his asnwers to prevent anyone taking his words and twisting them. In fact, some times blurting out answers show how little you know - As in Hillary and her in favor of the gas tax “holiday”. It has been disputed by many financial experts to have an opposite effect in the long run - it will drive up demand and increase cost.

hillary is very passionate in her answers to any question thrown her way. she knows what shes talking about, she is expressive and is very confident in who she is and what she can do for this country. oabam, on the other hand, speaks softly (no backbone) gets frustrated when he is asked a question that requires too much thought, is not compassionate or confident in his beliefs. he just spent 20 years believeing in something and then, at the drop of a hat, threw those beliefs to the curb. or did he? has he really disowned wright or is he lying? either way, what kind of friend kicks you to the curb after 20 years? what kind of man says he wants change and is honest then doesnt say how he will change anything and lies. obama doesnt strike me as the fighter than hillary is, or like michelle is for that matter. we need a fighter and no one man or woman is capable of changing anything on their own. obama is a wimp, whipped and certainly not a fighter for anyone other than the blacks. his own belief in the black value system ONLY allows him to work for the blacks. oh wait! when he disowned his pastor did he also disown the church and the values that he has believed in for 20 years. of course he and michelle want to move beyond the wright issue but its not gonna go away until he gives an answer. so dont say that he already has, he hasnt. he skirts the issue and says as little as he can and then says that he said it all. he didnt say anything. i look forward to the next battle. perhaps ayers or rezco or his muslim terrorist friends and backers or farrakan and the million man march and wait! does everyone know that obama disowned his brother mark? mark refused to become africanized and stay in kenya. obama stated that he could no more disown…than he can a family member but lo and behold he disowned a brother. what a liar.
You obama supporters are missing the point. You people are stuck on black and white! Race isn’t the issue. The issue is class! obama carried a majority of the working class voters (those earning below $50,000/year) in “3″ of the 29 states he won. If obama was a white candidate he would also be loosing the black working class voters (those earning below $50,000/year). Make no mistake about it, obama is pandering to his rich white liberal base when he says “no” to a summer gas tax break!
