Obama Hits the Court With the Tar Heels
Posted Apr 30, 2008
Say what you want about his politics or, for that matter, his bowling skills, but Barack Obama is taking advantage of the perks that come from being a national political figure. Tuesday, he played basketball with Tyler Hansbrough and other members of the UNC basketball team as a guest of Coach Roy Williams. In contrast to his unfortunate foray into bowling last month — when he rolled an embarrassing 37 — basketball is Obama’s game.
