"President Obama will test his hoops skills before an important audience and against some big names in professional basketball Sunday afternoon, to coincide with a birthday-weekend barbecue at the White House. "



Fried Chicken, Grape Drank, and Basketball at the White House? Shit dawgg sounds poppin.

In all fairness, if lily-white Bill Bradley had won the Presidency in 2000, he probably would have done this as well.

It's less about being black and more about being tall, I think. If we had a black President the size of Dukakis I don't think he'd be asking to do this.

Oh those blacks and their hoops.

Obama isn't that tall.
Lincoln was 6'5" and all he did was read in the dark.

Somewhere, Chris Rock is saying, 'Aw, man!!'

I wasn't aware that their had been enough black Presidents to allow for stereotypes.

bill clinton was the only other black president....well he liked those fat white bitches at least.

hahahaha

In fairness, they hadn't invented basketball yet.

I'm not saying all tall guys are athletic or like sports. I'm saying tall guys who ARE athletic and like sports tend to gravitate towards basketball more than those who are not tall.

If liking fat white bitches makes you black, consider me Miles Davis

Hahaha win

lulz to andrew and bob

i will go to my grave being irritated with the "do you play basketball?" question. i am not athletic at all. i played when i was younger but i was embarrassingly bad so i stopped shortly after starting. the only athletics i really enjoy are swimming and hiking. other than that i only like lazy-man sports like pool and darts.

Haha I get that question too. Funny thing is, we're roughly the same height at like 6'5'' or 6'6 or whatever.. But we'd be considered small in the NBA. Shooting guard tops.
I miss playin hoops though; at one point in highschool I was dunking it but now I'm too fat and lazy and can barely hit the rim

Ya know what, i prefer him doing basketball stuff as opposed to having gatherings with "big oil" guys in Texas. Like our last president.

ABE LINCOLN HAD A MELUNGEON MOTHER. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melungeon

WHEN ABE BECAME PRES, IT WAS A MONUMENTOUS MOMENT CELEBRATED BY HAVING A BBQ, LOTS OF PEOPLE STUFFING THEIR FACES FOR THE 1ST EVER MULTIRACIAL PRESIDENT IS IN THE OVAL ORAPHICE.
