I thought this was going to be about his disastrous game of bowling in a stop in Pennsylvania.
He bowled a 37, according to reputable sources:
Spare us: Obama bowls a 37 in campaign stop (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080331/NEWS07/803310358)
I've got to say it folks: his campaign is now essentially over.

37? How is that possible? Did he bowl all ten frames?

Yup. It's called "stinking". I expect to see a Hillary campaign commercial showing her and McCain bowling strikes, any time now.

Is there still a single lane bowling alley in the White House? Maybe Obama's running so he can practice in private. :)

My 6 year old can bowl better than a 37.
When I told my wife about Obama's 37, she asked if that was bad. I explained that someone who absolutely sucks at bowling would roll a 50. I bowl once every decade or so and I can roll 130 - 150. 37 is not just bad, it is unbelievably, embarrassingly bad. Is he too weak to lift the ball?

His form doesn't look that bad -but the pants are way too tight for good bowling.

So much for the sports stereotypes.
I'm lucky if I can break 100.
In real life, anyway, I rock at bowling in Wii Sports. :)
So much for the sports stereotypes.Speaking of stereotypes, Obama apparently wears a size 13-1/2 shoe. And he's black. He must be hung like John Holmes. Or Lyndon Johnson.

http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/03/31/art.50.gik.jpg 50 Cent says he was impressed with Obama's speech on race.

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/candidates/hillary.clinton.html) appears to have lost a high-profile backer to rival Barack Obama (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/candidates/barack.obama.html).
Rapper 50 Cent, who told Time magazine (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1660635,00.html) last September he was supporting the New York senator's White House bid, now says he has decided to shift his allegiance to Obama.
The multi-platinum star, born Curtis Jackson, told MTV News Friday (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584384/20080328/50_cent.jhtml) that Obama's recent speech on race was the deciding factor for his decision.
"I heard Obama speak," he said. "He hit me with that he-just-got-done-watching-'Malcolm X,' and I swear to God, I'm like, 'Yo, Obama!'
"I'm Obama to the end now, baby!"
But the musician also admitted he's lost interest in the protracted Democratic race, and may not support either candidate.
"To be honest, I haven't been following that anymore. I lost my interest," he said. "I listened to some of the debates and things that they were saying, and I just got lost in everything that was going on…Don't look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, '50 Cent, he don't know, so don't ask Fiddy.'
He also said he didn't think the country is ready for a black president.
"I just think there's people that might not be ready for an African-American president," he said. "It'll be an issue, believe it or not."
"You've got to be conscious of racism, period," he continued. "And it's still there. We don't deal with it as often as my grandparents did. My grandparents grew up in South Carolina, so they experienced the heart of that."

You'd think he would have been better taught by Rev. Wright how to use big black balls to knock down white pins with red necks. ;)

Well played.
That's what I thought it was, too.
As for stereotypes, I think they still hold. This is bowling; he's not supposed to be good at it.

I liked that too.
Separately I found it ironic that photoshopers don't seem to show Obama smoking pot without also emphasizing his skin color.

What are they doing? Making his skin darker (like Time did with the OJ mugshot cover)?
