so our world as we know it is falling into a dark abyss.
or not.
but regardless, america has a vastly failing economy, we are in a war that is long overdue, and every other country in the world hates us, so we aren't far off.
in a time where the hope that a new president brings us is crucial, and a time where his plans to help america can literally make or break us as a nation, lets talk about... the president's love of basketball?
In Hoops Fans Can't Wait for Obama to Take Office, Jeff Zeleny talks about the President Elect's love of basketball, and how he going to be horrified when he sees the dismal court on the White House grounds. Although I do understand that this is a light article, I was assuming that there woulid be a connection to the way that Obama will run the White House or SOMETHING, but as the article came to a close, the only tid bit I walked away with was that the Basketball makes third graders think that they can be president one day.
Note to self: please don't write pointless articles and not connect them to current events.

Here's a connection: Read http://www.time.com/time/specials/2008/personoftheyear/article/0,31682,1861543_1865068_1865096,00.html. This article is written by Barack Obama's brother-in-law, who is the head basketball coach at Oregon State University. He says that teh way Obama plays basketball tells a lot aout his personality: he is a hard competitior, yet willing to share the ball. He also isn't too cocky about his playing and is willing to admit defeat. These traits will follow him from the court to the Oval Office.
