That's the hand I use, well never mind..."

"A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Barack Obama'd Into Submission)"

Left-handed in all things Barack Obama is asked a planted question when he showed up at the Duke-Georgetown basketball game to watch and ended up in the CBS Sports booth with Verne Lundquist and Clark Kellogg for six minutes of play-by-play.

5:14 in Verne: "May I, can I be totally irrelevant? You're obviously a left-hander. Do you have any problems at all going to your right?"

Obama: "I went to the Republican caucus just yesterday to prove that I can go to my right once in a while. But there's no doubt I've got a stronger left hand."

I presume Verne was referring to dribbling...



"You know, I'm having fun."  Not the basketball game. The Republican thing as NYT's Maureen Dowd dissects in Sunday's column.  NYT likened it to marriage therapy. The Wash Post called Obama's appearance at the Republican retreat in Baltimore a boost Obama "badly needs."

  1. Such sessions ought to be mandatory annually between presidents and house members of the opposing party. Other possible applications of the idea:
    A session between Conan O'Brien and NBC management.
    A session between Joe Scarborough and MSNBC management.
    A session between Larry King and his former wives,

  2. I'm glad they televised the retreat q&a, because it showed how defensive he gets when questioned, how he lectures those who don't automatically go along with his views (Republican caucus and the general American population, or at least the taxpaying part)and how he spins. Oh no, job lost at the beginning of his term wasn't his fault. Oh no, no, no; proof right there that he hasn't a clue on how businesses operate -it called planning in advance b./c of all of the fun taxes heading down the pike.
    Glad he's having fun at America's expense.
