Pbama Sinks The 8 Ball
Well, bowling isn't the only thing he's bad at.
He can't play pool (billiards for you purists), either.
From al-Reuters:
Barack Obama loves it. And he decided to spend part of a 6-hour campaign stop in West Virginia — just one day before the primary election there — playing pool.
“The sign of a misspent youth,” Obama joked as he walked around and eyed the table in the smoky Schultzie’s Billiards in South Charleston.
“Obviously I wasn’t doing wholesome things like bowling,” Obama added to laughter, referring to a horrible showing in the bowling alley during a stop in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago.
The days of his youth came back quickly in the game against against Paul Scott, a local army veteran of the Iraq war. From the opening break, Obama sank several good shots — drawing some shouts of ‘whoa’ from the steadily growing crowd.
“Oh, it worked,” he said after he made one particularly tricky shot that sunk a ball into the opposite corner pocket. He also hammed it up for the crowd of photographers: contorting himself as he played with the idea of a behind-the-back shot.
The men played a gentleman’s game of pool, continuing on even though Obama sank the 8-ball early on. ”That’s what you’re supposed to do with a senator,” he said to his opponent as they kept playing.
After Scott sank his final ball with one of Obama’s remaining, the presidential candidate shook his hand and patted him on the back.
“I didn’t embarrass myself,” Obama said, then went on to the business of campaigning during his final minutes in the state.
Something tells me this isn't the first time - not by a long shot - that Pbama has sunk the 8-ball.
