Tough Politics
I don’t usually discuss politics much, but this snippet was relevant to my interests:
Obama set the tone early on the trip, stepping on a basketball court before a cheering crowd of U.S. troops and calmly nailing a 3-point shot.
“As soon as he hit that 3-pointer, I knew it was going to be a bad week,” Republican consultant Joe Gaylord said.
Wow! That is actually pretty good, considering the amount of pressure he should have been feeling. I don’t even know why this situation came about, but I would like to see more of this from all presidential candidates.

Not bad but nothing tops reading fairy tales - upside-down instead of easy mode - during a tourist err terrorist attack.

haha, yeah it is a bad week for Republicans. 200,000 people went to hear him speak in Berlin while McCain visited a German restaurant and had sausages..

All the cool kids read their books upside down.
Also, I did not know that Obama was left-handed until I saw him drain that shot. I was just thinking “There’s something odd about his follow-through…” and then it hit me like a patriot missile.

BTW I was just reading some of those youtube comments and they are (unintentionally) HILARIOUS. Youtube comments are always the best.

I’m left handed too you know! *is waiting for praise* =3
So the way left handers shoot is weird? I don’t play sports so I wouldn’t know, although alot of people like to point out how I write
“ARG! I BE A PIRATE” they say *ba dum psh*

It’s not weird, it’s just reversed so I noticed something was subtly different when he took the shot.

*off to shoot the “correct way”* =3 to tell you the truth, whenever I tried the “left handed” way of doing things (for sports) (when I was forced to play gym), like baseball and dodgeball, it would be alot worse than my right hand… and I pretty much do everything with my left hand! So yea, I’m weird, but you probably figured that out awhile ago XD
Hmm, and I read my previous comment, and it might have been a bit misunderstanding so I’ll rephrase it:
People like to say “ARG I’M A PIRATE” when they see me write, because left handers write with a “hook” *ba dum psh*
