Apparently Barack Obama Playing Basketball Is Top News

We understand that it was kind of a slow news week last week, depending on where you're looking.  But, really:  can you imagine the press following any of the other presidential candidates bowling or playing basketball?  Eh, maybe they would.  Anyhow, The Associated Press has a YouTube channel on which they post the top news of the moment, and one of yesterday's top stories is Barack Obama "Hoops It Up in Hoosier State."

They say Obama didn't do so well in his bowling expedition, but made up for it by making "4 baskets" in a little basketball game he played in Indiana Friday.

I know, I know, all of you Obamans are going to be mad at me for saying this, but I find it kind of funny that Obama's camp just said a Democratic debate in Indiana is not a top priority...yet there's plenty of time to play a game of pickup basketball with area high-schoolers in the state for the press.  Ah well.  Enjoy Barack's team winning 15-5.
