<<<I wouldn't want to deny you the pleasure you take in mocking Obama for his low score in his first outing on the lanes. Still, bowling is rather a non-demanding sport, from the standpoint of athleticism. How do you think you'd stand up to him in a game of half-court, one on one? >>>

From what I have read about Obama, he is good in basketball. Basketball is probably the most demanding sport. More demanding than football.

In basketball you not only have to be big and strong like you have to be in football, but you have to be in good shape (meaning having stamina), and you have to develop skills (dribbling, shooting, and playing defense).

For Obama to shoot 37 in bowling is outrageous. There is something wrong. I mean, I am more than 20 years his senior and after a serious illness I tried using bowling for rehab (it didn't work out because I didn't think it provided the proper exercise for me). It was the first time that I bowled in over 50 years - close to 60 years. In the first game I bowled an 89. In the second game I bowled much, much better (due mostly to fantastic luck - pins were just falling in strange ways). Anyhow, the point is, it is impossible for Obama to bowl a 37. He must have had some strange thoughts going on - that, I can for the life of me not able to figure out.

He is not connecting on a lot of levels.
