HOOPS

Barack Obama Is President of Kuwait, Afghanistan and Basketball


Hey did you hear Barack Obama is doing this worldwide terror tour with his senator friends? Look at those crowds, of soldiers! (Yes, also a lot of them are black. This is true in real life, too.) We can’t really hear what Obama is saying, but he gets a lot of applause, and then he makes a THREE-POINTER FROM DOWNTOWN and he hasn’t even changed into workout clothes. [YouTube]

    The audacity of hoop.

  2. villageatrois says at 11:58 pm, July 20th, 2008

    Three-pointer, yeah, yeah, yeah. Doncha know that Dubya once cheered for a free-throw at Andover?

    What’s wrong with you people?

  3. Paultardville says at 12:03 am, July 21st, 2008

    Playing one-one-one with your president is the new having a beer with your president.

  4. ReverendGreen says at 12:06 am, July 21st, 2008

    A terrorist fist three-pointer! (I don’t care how outdated that flap was)

  5. tepid sunshine says at 12:12 am, July 21st, 2008

    Oh, that butt! We, the American people, deserve more “behind the scenes” coverage like this.

  6. obfuscator says at 12:25 am, July 21st, 2008

    Not the prettiest form I’ve ever seen, but it’s fundamentally sound. Typical for a left-handed lefty leftist Marxist two guard.

  7. Paultardville says at 12:30 am, July 21st, 2008

    obfuscator: I hear he can’t shoot going to his right.

  8. UnreliableNarrator says at 12:42 am, July 21st, 2008

    All cool points immediately lost for wearing an IT-help-desk style belt-clip for his celly.

  9. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 12:43 am, July 21st, 2008

    tepid sunshine: I had to play that several times…. just to make sure it wasn’t doctored, not that I was staring at his ass. I’m a cynic, first and foremost! I swear!

  10. FreshCliches says at 12:53 am, July 21st, 2008

    Sadly, McCain’s version of taking it to the hole has something to do with his trollop cunt wife.

  11. itgetter says at 1:08 am, July 21st, 2008

    McCain would school Obama in a little one-on-one if they were playing the bball he enjoyed as a child.

    Various headlines we can look forward to tomorrow morning:

    “Terrorist Fist-Basketball.”

    “Mr. Smith Goes to Afghanistan.”

    “Just Why Did Obama Only Shake Hands With teh-Non-Whiteys?”

    “Kittens: Why so Cute?”

    After a weekend of slow news (minus a few unfortunate local accidents) it’s good to see Barry hit the three.

  13. shortsshortsshorts: Slow news? The whole Maliki business is unfolding like whoa!

  14. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:25 am, July 21st, 2008

    AxmxZ: A bump in the road and nothing more.
    Maliki used to work for Our Genius President (TM) for fuck sake.

  15. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:38 am, July 21st, 2008

    AxmxZ: Since this has not yet been covered by Wonkette I have no idea about which you speak.

  16. Mr-Clark says at 1:46 am, July 21st, 2008

    Ken Layne,

    Sen. Obama stole the election for Kuwait from Sen. Clinton. Ironically, Sen. Obama is also the President of Bowling.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

  17. dilhavarti says at 1:58 am, July 21st, 2008

    Paultardville: all really, really, ridiculously good-looking black presidential candidates can eventually learn to shoot right handed and become ambi-shooters.

  18. Mr-Clark says at 2:01 am, July 21st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: “Terrorist Fist-Basketball.” That’s clever! I’m not awake enough to be anything except lame this evening. OK, it’s the Codeine, Diazepam and NyQuil combo for a goodnight’s sleep that I came up with. We’ll see if it works.

    So, ignore my lame posts…I even forgot I can cuss on here. Too much time on The Political Machine. Well, I have to piss and sleep. Enjoy.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

  19. dilhavarti says at 2:05 am, July 21st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Hoopy Kills Czechoslovakian Prime Minister With Piano Key Necktie.

    I’m so happy Obama is hot.

  20. dilhavarti says at 2:10 am, July 21st, 2008

    UnreliableNarrator: He’s making nice with the Netroots, yo. It’s a prototype for “the button.” Think Spaceballs “Just Plain Yogurt” Moichindising!

  21. Neilist says at 2:46 am, July 21st, 2008

    UnreliableNarrator: Hey, I wear one of those IT geek belt clips, and I’m not a . . . .

    Oh, wait.

    Hmmm.

    Never mind.

    (Those guys behind Hopie look kinda . . . well . . . Muslim . . . to me.

    Muslim geekish, in fact.

    Anyone else?)

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:49 am, July 21st, 2008

    Mr-Clark: To Bed, Mr. Clark. But you are generally laufhable at the later hours, especially after long periods of drink.

    dilhavarti: “WALNUTS causes the reunification of Czhechoslovakia through a misstatement!”

    Should be a sure bet.

  23. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:50 am, July 21st, 2008

    laughable?.

    /fixed…..

    @shorts:Ya you suck.

  24. Aurelio says at 2:53 am, July 21st, 2008

    I suppose he will want to install a basketball court in the White House.

  25. Dr. Spaceman says at 3:44 am, July 21st, 2008

    Aurelio: There is one, but it sucks.

    If video of Obama dunking over someone ever leaks, well, forget it. President For Life.

  26. gurukalehuru says at 4:08 am, July 21st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: A few years back, when the Czech Republic was competing against Slovakia for the world Ice Hockey championships, the joke was that all we needed to do was reunify and we could cancel the game. Anyway, we won.

  27. gurukalehuru says at 4:10 am, July 21st, 2008

    Compare this with footage of George and the plastic turkey. Somehow, the reception here seems more heartfelt.

  28. Serolf Divad says at 5:30 am, July 21st, 2008

    Are you shitting me? He ends his appearance by throwing a perfect three pointer? Now I know he’s the second coming of Jesus. No wonder the Evangelicals are shitting bricks over this guy. They’ve had a free ride this whole time, telling their flock that the Bible was all about hating poor people, gay people, and people who are different from you. And now Jesus is in town, and he’s going to set a few things straight. Well, Hallelujah, brothers and sisters! Hallelujah!

  29. Lazy Media says at 5:43 am, July 21st, 2008

    UnreliableNarrator: How else do you carry a Blackberry? Do cool people have enormous pockets or something?

  30. Lazy Media says at 5:47 am, July 21st, 2008

    He cheats with his international 3-point line, though. See how it touches the top of the key? Bitters know that the NBA 3-point line requires hard work, and isn’t handed to you along with your Ivy League degree and secret Muslim handshake.

  31. Holy shit, that was from an aircraft carrier-length away! Holy shit. What if he had missed? To trust yourself that much to make it takes, hehe, balls.

    Also, something about hoops should’ve been in the latest Jib-Jab thing. Oh, well.

    Serolf Divad: Yeah, pretty much. That’s hysterical.

  32. WonkaBee says at 6:04 am, July 21st, 2008

    UnreliableNarrator: …. IT style belt clip …..

    President of Queue-Wait ?

    aaaaaarrrgh where’s my caffiene…..

  33. Happy Fun Ball says at 6:44 am, July 21st, 2008

    Barry never gets criticized for this, but be plays hoops in sweat pants and tucks his shirt into his pants when he plays. That is SO not gay. It’s very Suburban Health Club. America deserves more flava than that!

  34. Delicious says at 7:40 am, July 21st, 2008

    News Alert: He just arrived in Iraq for his meeting with Al Qaeda and to pay his respects at the grave of Saddam, his uncle.

  35. Johnny Zhivago says at 7:40 am, July 21st, 2008

    The question is, when he visited the deep desert spice mines, did he wear his stilt suit desert fashion?

  36. eyesfriedopen says at 7:46 am, July 21st, 2008

    Typical main stream media Barrylovin’. They don’t show you his feet in that footage. He was over the line, people! He’s lying to you again, and you just lap it up like so much hope juice! [insert socialist Muslim rant here]. MORANS!

  37. eyesfriedopen: Yeah, the last time you see his feet, he’s got a toe on the line, and if anything he gets a step closer to the hoop before he shoots. That’s a two, people, a two!

  38. ForTheTurnstiles says at 8:05 am, July 21st, 2008

    Josh Fruhlinger: Right. It’s a Larry Bird trey. But for a half-African like this Ime Udoka guy… yeah, a two.

  39. itgetter says at 8:26 am, July 21st, 2008

    eyesfriedopen: Why does Barry hate basketball, and by extension America?

  40. bitchincamaro says at 8:27 am, July 21st, 2008

    gurukalehuru: Way OT, but reading The Hockey News online yesterday, I discovered that their spreadsheet roster thingy lists hometowns for the Czech players as “(*town), Czecholsovakia”. The fucking Hockey News can’t even get it right. Not that I cut slack for Walnuts. Though to be fair, he did sink his left nut in his right pocket playing pocket pool yesterday.

  41. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:21 am, July 21st, 2008

    It looks like the qualification question for President has changed from “Who would you want to have a beer with?” to “Who would you want on your B-ball team?”.

  42. stolichnayaaa says at 10:27 am, July 21st, 2008

    A terrible thought just occurred to me- what if he fouls out before November? Who is coaching this team?

  43. NoWireHangers says at 10:54 am, July 21st, 2008

    Bill’s Sax = Barry’s Balls

    Hear that all you Democratic Presidential hopefuls? Can you twirl firey batons of Hope? Can you play God Bless America on the theremin? Can you do 76 one-armed push-ups? Better get cracking if you wanna be Presznit.

  44. LBOtomist says at 11:27 am, July 21st, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Isaiah? Is that you? No wonder the knicks suck, with you spending all your time on the intertubes surfing for buttsecks and commenting on Wonkette.

  45. Outstando says at 12:02 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Who let all those Muslims into the army?

  46. choom gangster says at 12:53 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Dr. Spaceman: I’m hoping we’ll see an ad like the famous Nike Jordan ad where Obama does a super slo-mo dunk from the free throw line.

    also Barry you need to start dressing less like a 35-year-old midlevel IT supervisor

  47. Accordion-o-rama says at 1:20 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Could someone please create a side-by-side of video of
    Obama sinking his 3-pointer and Bush falling off his Segway?

  48. bernadette says at 2:06 pm, July 21st, 2008

    I’ve had the pleasure of standing on stage next to that amazing ass… rather, Presidential Candidate. Need I mention hands as soft as silk sheets?

  49. GlennBecksTaint says at 2:54 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Now look at all the black people in this propaganda piece, of course they all love him. They’re soldiers, they don’t represent the REAL America! Let’s see Obama’s hybrid ass on a Virginia golf course. Carry my clubs, caddy.

  50. FreshCliches says at 2:55 pm, July 21st, 2008

    bernadette: Combine the aforementioned body parts, and you’ve redefined “fist bump”.

  51. natoslug says at 2:59 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Forget Obama’s ass, I miss the Slim Slacks girl’s ass. And this was going to be the week I finally looked at her face.

  52. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 3:01 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Hopey got back. Thank God!

    As a mentor once told me, Never trust a man with no ass or a single eyebrow. (He didn’t mention stubby, tortured arms or a cancerous hog jowl, but I wouldn’t trust such a man either. Oh, wait…..)

  53. Accordion-o-rama says at 4:38 pm, July 21st, 2008

    Accordion-o-rama: Just to clarify, I was referring
    to Obama’s BB expertise, not his phallus.

  54. Barry O’Bomber!
