varropdxI'm a former Pittsburgher of Eastern European ancestry. Bowling is part of my culture; my grandfather used to always take me to Princess and Village Lanes in Whitehall and Carrick Classic Lanes in Pittsburgh. Bowling was something fun that you could do your entire life, and not boring to watch on TV, unlike golf. But Obama did something very, very bad on camera. More after the jump.
It's good that Barack Obama tried his hand at bowling during a campaign stop - bowling is a quintessential activity and sport of the average American of all ethnicities and most classes underneath the Stuff White People Like line.
But Obama must distance himself from a gaffe similar to the Jimmy Carter "killer rabbit" or Lyndon Johnson picking up his dog by the ears.
Barack Obama was caught by the media bowling a foul.
Look at his right foot. Over the line! It's as bad as his pastor saying "G-d damn America" in a sermon Obama may or may not have heard, or the speculation of a billionaire media magnate as to what Obama did in the poor neighborhoods on the South Side of Chicago! Why, Geraldine Ferraro would think they counted his score on that ball, but wouldn't if he was a woman!
And the ball, like Obama, is black. Need we say more? (/snark)
MARK IT ZERO!
