Hugh -

Yes, in his spare time, while campaigning for his party's nomination for President, he should have practiced bowling so that he could get a better score. Right.

Obama bowled badly, laughed at himself for doing so, and came off just fine as far as I'm concerned. You're entitled to disagree, of course.

I don't see any lapse in judgement. Obama probably felt, and rightly so, that most people might have more pressing concerns, in judging a presidential candidate, than bowling scores.

Hugh,

He only bowled only about seven frames and let a child roll one of those.

He was clearly not trying for a high score.

With the many legitimate criticisms that we can point in his direction, I don't think his bowling score is one of them.

Its funny the things that stick in our national consciousness.
