YOU try doing a man-on-man defense against a guy being guarded by 40 Secret Service Agents.
(Barack Obama)
I don’t play. It can get rather awkward. (Via Up Next In Sports)

And frightently unfunny.
You scare easily.
I’m pretty sure frightently isn’t a word.
I’m afeareidly of it! Sounds scaly!
He’s the incredible half-black president who has done nothing for what you people voted for, on top of nothing at all! Yay!! Let’s all play a basketball game and swat flies together!
Indeed, he’s done nothing, we all agree, so you can go away now.
O_o I don’t think lamas really care about basketball.
man *on* man?
ghey
Not that there is anything wrong with that!
Looks like someone’s brain hasn’t developed enough to not be intimidated by homosexuals eh VG?
Well it does take a while for those frontal lobes to fully mature!
i just laugh when i think of Bush the younger playing basketball ..haven’t seen it, but in my mind it’s hilarious. Go Barack!
Kind of makes you wonder how often this basketball court was used in previous administrations. No president that I can remember looked or acted all that athletic. Not that Obama is a NBA superstar or anything, but I don’t remember seeing and W. Rugby pics or Clinton Ice Hocky.
Clinton was a jogger and Bush was a pretty avid runner/biker. Since puff pieces about their exercise regimens weren’t plastered across the front page of CNN, though, you could be forgiven for forgetting.
Well thats what I mean. You always see the prez out for walks or jogging or biking. Very one player not competative stuff. And yes, I know running and biking can be competitive, but it seems less “sporting” i guess. And I never saw Obama playing anything until I saw this pic, and i definately saw the jogging/biking, so I suppose it isn’t all that plastered.
From everything I had read, Mt biking with GW was very competitive. Non other than Lance Armstrong commented on his rides with the former pres in crawford.
Sweet. Well there you go then. It would have been cool to see some pics.
I gather that the secret service had trouble finding agents who could keep up with Bush.
Also, the various prez types tend to be at the age where muscle stiffness tends to kick in, and the arthritis from over-stressed joints and previous injuries starts to speak more loudly.

Jerry Ford was a good college football player, or so I have read.
True. That was another point that could me made. Usually presidents seem too old to play one on one.
Didn’t Nixon put in bowling lanes in the White House? Not the most athletic sport around, but it’s something.
That was where Obama wanted the basket ball court. His plan was to remodel the bowling alley.
Take out the bowling alley?! Now that’s just WRONG!
Leave it to the black man to wreck the public housing. Amirite?
WTF…at least they serve beer at bowling alleys!
I mean, sure they have concessions at the NBA courts but that’s only for the spectators.
Bowling FTW.
Ike was a star football player at West Point as well.
Lincoln was an avid wrestler.
Reagan just couldn’t remember what sports he liked! (what too soon?)
You said “athletic”, not “competitive”. You get that they’re two different things, right?
I had no idea. I mean, the spelling is obviously different. One has fewer letters than the other. They sound totally different when you say them out loud. You mean to tell me the meanings are different too? Wow. Without you pointing that out, I may have never made the connection! Thanks Dhoti! Your interjection has once again really added to the conversation! Thank you!
Hey, don’t get pissed at me — it’s not my fault your rants are borderline incoherent. Next you’re going to blame me for your poor spelling and atrocious grammar, too.
I am not pissed. I was just mocking you. Consider yourself mocked.
Sorry, it’s just really hard to interpret emotions from your crazy-speak. Your text reads like the guy I try to avoid at my train stop, who alternates between mumbled 9/11 conspiracy and the virtues of “Dr. Paul”.
I am sorry. The language I use is English. Maybe your babelfish just isn’t working properly when you try to convert it back into “douche” so you can understand. If in the future you pocket English to Douche dictionary doesn’t seem to pull up a valid translation, I would suggest not responding at all.
Ideologically I want to go with Dhoti, but this comment is full of WIN
Don’t encourage me!
Dhoti is very impressed with himself. He gets irked when no one else is.
this should be failblog’s burn comment of the week. creative, confrontational, with ample amounts of ego.
approval granted.
he’s not a douche – but a fleet enema does come to mind
If I remember right. It was built for Obama. So no presidents had it to play on before.
ZOMG WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONIES!!!11!!11!
(Not directed at Care Troll, just thought it was funny)
TOTALLY TRUE!!! Why isn’t Obama in the Oval Office solving the country’s problems? Obama having fun while millions of Americans suffer is not funny. There I said it, got the conservative mindset out of the way!!!
Now I would totally understand if it was Putin, the Crazy Iranian guy (can’t spell his name), Castro, Osama, Kim Jong-il, or some other person we’re trying to dimplomasize. They could let the outcome of the game settle some treaty or something, then I’m ok with it.
I think we have heard enough about ranch get aways to not worry about our world leaders fitting in some down time. They all do it, and I am glad. If they couldn’t have any fun, their minds wouldn’t be able to come back to the job. Nothing wrong with playing some sports.
But I do think I major white house remodelling job would not set an example to the American people.
VNV: I was playing off of Rando’s joke. Sorry didn’t put in “Just Kidding”. I don’t care about a B-Ball court that much, b/c every Prez has done something to the White House regardless of economy.
I know. I wasn’t sassing you. Yet.

From one of the stories you linked:
In a June Bloomberg News interview, Obama said James would be on the list for an invitation to play at the White House court, repurposed from tennis at a cost of $4,995.
That’s actually a LOT less than I was thinking it would have cost, I have to admit. By D.C. spending standards, practically nothing.
Agreed
Was that it? Well hell, that’s nothing. Let him have his b-ball court.
some guy gets to tell his kids that he helped build a b-ball court in the whitehouse.
to bad he’s an illegal beaner…
OH SNAP!
And it’s really TOO bad for your parents that they raised an illiterate racist. I’m sure they were hoping for a normal child.
So many sad parents because of PK…..
I think the parents already know. Now, thanks to PK, the rest of the world does too.
Actually…it kinda IS a waste of money when we don’t exactly have a lot of extra to spare. Couldn’t he have just put a couple of these in the White House back driveway, or something?
“Game off, Michelle is pulling into the drive way. Hey, babe! Ok. Game on!”
“From the roof, off the sniper, then Marine 1, then the limo, and nothing but net.”
LOFL!!!
Completely full of WIN!
Oh sure, it’s a waste of money, but frankly it’s a drop in the bucket compared with all the other wasted money in Washington. I wonder just how much money could be saved just cutting unnecessary waste out of Washington, and no I’m not talking about specific programs necessarily, just stupid stuff.
The job is tough enough that I figure he deserves to blow off some steam in nice surroundings. (Now, if there’s a Marine at every corner of the court to toss balls back in, that’s excessive.)
That being said — maybe we should have structured this as a pay-for-performance incentive plan. As in, he does one thing, and we give him a ball; two things, and we paint the court; three things, and we put up one hoop, and so on.
” maybe we should have structured this as a pay-for-performance incentive plan” – i’ve been wishing the senate and house were run that way. every year, we go online, and we rate our reps and senators, if they do poorly they get a pay cute, do well, they get a raise. 3 bad consecutive ratings and they’re fired, then we find a replacement using the tiered deathmatch system from halo.
I’m imagining all of them with headsets/mics with controllers just screaming “GET THE FLAG!! WHERE’S MY TEAM???!!! FVCKING 9 YR OLDS!!!!!”
Lieberman: “What the hell? Why do I keep getting shot in the back? DAMN IT!! How’d the DNC get on this server?”
“C’mon, guys, let me play on your team!”
“Forget it, Joe, you’ve got to play on your own team. And you’ve got to wear the pink armor.”
“You guys, suck!”
Gives new meaning to the words Red Vs. Blue.
LMAO. This thread is full of win.
Wouldn’t that be purple armor for Joe (red + blue = purple!) I learned my primary colors!!
Technically, maybe, but the pink armor would be more embarrassing, Unless your name was Private Donut. I know a couple people know what I’m talking about.
I’m imagining TF2, actually.
“What makes me a good Bamaman?”
“Bushgineer is credit to team!”
ZOMG I sucked at that game. Never could get into it.
At first glance I thought the other guy would be holding a glass of water and wondered why the hell Obama wants to tackle him…then I scrolled down and saw the basketball.
*yawn*
@SS – bashing Bush is like breathing to you people, isn’t it? You just can’t help yourself.
Regarding the above LOL, well, it’s just not very funny. Next!
Not only is it an involuntary muscle movement, but its so easy! And when I forget to do it, I feel like I may pass out. Its tough to be a Bush hater.
It’s almost like Tourette’s for us. We’re just going along our business and BUSH IS A RETARD!!! Pretty much out of nowhere, sitting at the dinner table, or watching the Rams lose, or shopping for groceries and BUSH DESTROYED AMERICA!!1!1! It can’t be helped.
Much like the Rams losing.
Yup. 16 in a row I think. My “Rams are full of fail” LOL is one of my most favorited LOLs now.
You even lost to the Redskins, NOW that is truely aweful. Next team to 0-16 I bet.
I dunno. They didn’t suck AS BAD this last Sunday, so they might be able to pull off a win at some point this season. They’ll probably beat Detroit’s 19 game losing streak going back to last season though.
However I don’t know if they can beat Detroit!!!
GO LIONS!!!!
That is all.
Speaking of pathetic NFL teams, I’m not even a Titans fan (long story….) but their performance against New England yesterday made me embarrassed to be from the same state. 59-0? Reeeeeaaaalllly?
Heh. That was pretty pathetic. Not even the Rams have lost 59-0. At that point, it’s time for the team to just fold and cease existing.
About halftime I was genuinely wishing they would do that. Or that the NFL had a “mercy rule”.
Sorry guys, but my Eagles lost to the freaking RAIDERS. Only put up 9 points against possibly the worst team in the league. The Phillies outscored them. That, my friends, is suckage.
BWAHAHA!! Yeah, when the baseball team outscores the football team, that’s a bad sign. Although I think that happened to the Rams at least once this season too. :-\
Oh, don’t I know it, brak….I had to play my secondary quarterback yesterday because my primary was on a bye week. My secondary? Donovan McNabb. Normally not a bad play, but this week he really stank the place up.
Feel that pain diss. About every other week he seems to think his receivers are all laying on the ground. It’s like this every year. They do just enough to give a faint hope and then roll over and fail. As a lifelong Eagles fan…I’m starting to not care any more. Good God….it’s fall and I care more about a baseball team. *shakes head and slumps away*
lions are still a pro team?
Actually, if this keeps going, I believe the new record tying loss would be against the Lions, so there may be some truth to that.
“alright team let’s go man-to-man.”
*40 secret service agents walk in*
“fine we’ll just stay in zone.”

Some red meat for conservatives. If you don’t read it carefully.
Also, after some googling, I found the basketball court is outside; he had the tennis courts converted. No word on whether they needed to be baptized.

I wanted Dr Phil as President… Why didn’t he run? He knows everything, man. And he doesn’t bounce stoopid balls.
Nice religious pun snuck in there! You are raising the bar mitzvah!
i’m just glad to have a president who’s coordinated enough to not fall off a segway…
Of course he’s good at basketball!!!
… wait for it….
….
…..
……
He’s from Chicago! hahaha
(well you know what i mean, not really FROM there, but from there)
Wow, that just….wait for it…sucked.
Racist.
All I know is, I do captions to make my 15-year-old son laugh. A few of them have made the front page. Perhaps there’s a 15-year-old boy lurking in the heart of a lot of Pundit Kitchen members. *shrug*
15?!?! Oh, hell, no. I’m 12.
Me too. Definitely 12.
Well, at LEAST 13.
Great.
With or without the security, it would be impossible to do a “man on man defense” with Obama. You would need a man to do it….not some empty suit puppet like Obama.
I’d punch him. Then kick him in the.. wait, does he even have any?
then i would talk big talk on the internet, cause im BAD!
Ohhh you’re so adorable!
here’s some “change” go buy some tootsie rolls..
not funny
