It was running through my head the whole time - I just can't help it.

I try to be cognizant of that, trying to not confuse one issue with another. I wish I could say I was perfect on this, but...

I don't think he was saying that we should be happy about the prices. What I took from the article was that Obama was placing the blame for the high prices in the wrong place (by blaming "big oil"): something I happen to strongly agree with.

And it is a good thing that candidates aren't selected by bowling scores. Obama scored a 37 over the weekend.

Spare us: Obama bowls a 37 in campaign stop

Looks like he's wearing a watch on both wrists, but I assume the right hand is a bracelet of some sort. I'm amazed he actually bowled a full game (assuming he did).

He's a lefty so that's good. But the other day I saw video of him signing something and it looks like he's a wraparound lefty which is bad (self loathing TRAITOR!). Plus, he is wearing his watch on his left wrist, which to me is odd -- since I use the hand so much I find it generally irritating to wear my watch on that side, but I don't know how common that is.

I use to have a bowling average around 200. I wonder if that means I would be a better president.

His bowling score alone would make me vote for him. I bowled a 52 my first game!

(As a rightie, I can't stand wearing a watch on that wrist. Never thought about it until Alex mentioned it.)

Unless bowling scores have an inverse relationship to presidential ability.

Nope....I was thinking about cheese balls myself:)

:D

Some people maybe don't have the necessities to be good bowlers.

As a longtime bowler myself, any celebrity's ability to knock 'em down with style immediately raises their status with me. On the other hand, since the PBA has unfortunately entered a hard-ass attitude era, my feelings about bowling and its cultural/political relevance are more equovical.

For anybody interested in the underlying issues in the ministry of Black Liberation Theology (the form preached by Obama's Rev. Wright) there will be an interview with the founder on NPR's Fresh Air this afternoon.

I don't suspect that it will make many people look at Rev. Wright issue differently but should expand the contextual understanding of it.

Bowling while wearing a tie..... dork.

He should at least have sent some aide out to get a custom bowling shirt made for him with Obama 08 on it or something.

I used to wear my watch on my right wrist as a lefty, but got tired of people bugging me about it (for some reason, it was a big deal in elementary school) so I just learned to deal with the minor annoyances having it on my left causes. At this point I don't even notice, though I do take it off or switch it to my right wrist to bowl.

I used to wear my wristwatch on my left wrist.









Then they invented cell phones. :p
