The elitist are all over Obama about his bowling skills. However, they can't even report his score correctly. It is 47, not 37.

I'm an Obama supporter but I thought this was pretty funny.
I have a feeling that Obama purposely played a bad bowling game so it would get on the news ... putting the Wright controversy one more step behind him.Quote:

Have you considered that he may just be bad at bowling and the press, consisting of humans much like us, are simply glad to take comfort in knowing that anyone in the limelight is actually fallible, flawed and imperfect?
I certainly haven't, that's just preposterous.
I don't know, the score just seems really really low.Quote:

I once scored four perfect 10s. For the person in the next lane.
No way!
And Obama just looked like he was bad.
I think we should all drink the "kool-aid" next time a comet passes within 990 trillion miles of us. Who's with me?!?Quote:

How could anyone score a 37 in bowling? I can understand Mendhak playing badly, he probably wasn't all there, but a normal person? Incredible. I've gone bowling about a half dozen times in my life, and I've never even SEEN a score that low.
I guess it is supposed to give us a good feeling, like he is just another good old boy who likes bowling and beer. Whoop de-doo. But honestly, would you like a president who is great at bowling?
It's so funny that none of you realise that his bowling score is totally irrelevant to anything. The entire point of the exercise was to get people to talk about him, and it's obviously working. Props to his PR people.
Egg-zachary! :eek: I've never played a game that ended in a score with less than three digits... :(Quote:

I smell a conspiracy here. Can we get the Warren Commission to investigate how his score was so low? There is obviously something else going on here that we are missing.
Only when I need lend credibility to my post :afrog:Quote:

Well, ridiculously low or high score will generate headlines over an average amateur score.Quote:

It takes a pro to score that low. I knew a guy with two fingers who tried and couldn't score lower.
Weird creatures, three eyed frogs, two fingered guys, what's up next?
Stop thinking what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking.
