He Got Game?
Yes, it would appear to the casual observer that today is "Bash Barak Day" at YRW. Not really- he's just making it easy today.
Next up on the hit parade is this video (h/t to AP at HotAir).
You can learn something about a person by playing a sport with the person. The amount of knowledge depends on the sport. (You can learn a lot about a person by playing a round of golf with a person. Other sports, the amount of time needed may vary.) Some sports speak for themselves (runners are usually highly disciplined, for example). What you learn might be the subtle things? Does the person you're observing get easily discouraged? Are they quick to anger? Are they respectful toward officials and other players? Do they take a lot of "do overs"? Do they make excuses for bad plays/moves? Those behaviors can tell you a lot about a person.
Watching that video sure didn't tell me much about Obama. (Seriously- they showed the same 15 seconds over and over. Is that all the film they got on the pick-up game???) I thought it was kind of cool that he played in the high school state championship in that hotbed of basketball talent known as Hawaii.
It did tell me one thing, though. I'm pretty sure my kids could take him in Horse.
