Obama Bowl-A-Rama: Watch The Gutterballs Roll

Huffington Post   First Posted: 04/08/08 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:30 PM ET

Obama Bowl

Obama went bowling in Altoona, PA on a campaign stop, and proved one thing he's not good at: bowling. He was so bad, scoring a 37, the team at "Morning Joe" have already dubbed it the Altoona Massacre.
From the AP:

"My economic plan is better than my bowling," Obama told fellow bowlers Saturday evening at the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center.


"It has to be," a man called out...

A large crowd later expected later Sunday for a campaign rally at Penn State.

The night before, it was Obama Bowl-a-Rama.

And it was clear from the start of the evening that Obama was way out of his league, certainly any bowling league.

His bad bowling score must be the Clintons' fault, I bet.

Why are 200 people arguing about a bad bowling score?
08:51 PM on 03/31/2008
Because it shows that Obama has the Wright stuff to play gutter politics?

This is proof that Obama hates white people: look at the symbolism of Obama using that BIG BLACK BOWLING BALL to try to knock down a bunch of WHITE PINS. Imagine what he'll do if he gets in the WHITE HOUSE!

PAINT IT BLACK, BABY!

Barack's bowling ability is long on style, short on ability and pretty silly with a tie on but so effing what? Politicians posing as sportsters is essentially lame-o, like the first bitch throwing the first pitch last night. But I do kinda think those crappy Obama bowling shoes would go much better with one of Hillary's mustard yellow pantsuits.

37 is terrible. I bet Hillary could bowl 300 with bullets flying over her head.

As a life-long member of the democrat party, I cannot suppurt anyone who blows at bowling. What if for example, Obama is president and whatever people we are trying to destroy next have a leader that likes to bowl and he challanges Obama to a game of bowling - winner take all.

What then, America? Answer this fellow librals yes or no. Will a score of 37 be enough to mainatin our freedoms-- which are never free? and what will become of the children? do we want a presdient who can't bowl to save them? how many children will die becasue we didn't elect a good bowler?

please my fellow liberals, vote for McCain, he can bowl over 37 with his bad arm.

that is the kind of leader America has been waiting for.

Let me get this straight: Mr. Obama is supposed to be the person that will bring this country (and the world?) together if he becomes President? For crying out loud, he can't even bring his own Democrat party together -- it is the most divisive it has ever been. Just read the comments between Hillary supporters and Barack supporters on this site. He can't even bring one bowling ball and some pins together!

It isn't Barack the Uniter -- it is Barack the Divider!

Hillary is the one on a futile mission to destroy Obama. If anyone is to blame for the rancor it is undoubtedly Hillary.

i agreed with you. as a libral and life long memebr of the democrat party, i can not vote for someone what blows at bowling. what kind of message does this sends to our childrens? that you can be 'smart' and 'well speaks' but you can be the presidant with no ahteltic abilities? Bush played professional basball with the Texas Rangers! how do you like him now, mr. big man obama?

Another stupid story about this guy. WHo really cares anyway, except for the obsessed OBama fans.

Watching Obama reminds me so much of when GWB was on the campaign trail, trying to look with it, but not quite making it. Enough already....bowling, milking cows....puhleeze.

I agree. It is GWB all over again. Enough already is right.

If McCain bowled a gutter ball, he’d scream at the ball, blame it on Al Queda, then have one of his lobbyist’s speak with the scorekeeper.

He’d end up with a score of 301, certified by Charles Keating.

If, cough,when Obama bowled a gutter ball, he looked like a strap in floods and goofy shoes.

If this was the GE it would be ho Dukakis/Kerry helmet moment.

What in god's green goodness is "a strap in floods"?

Jezzzzibus, you've got the Bush virus!

it's not quite a bad performance as Dumbya throwing out first pitch last night, or his dad flabbergasted with going to the supermarket

He'll get plenty of practice in the next 8 years. The White House has it's own bowling alley.

yeah, let him run for pin boy. atleast he's qualified for that.
04:11 PM on 03/31/2008

Ah, pinboy? what's that? you're boyfriend's nickname?
04:18 PM on 03/31/2008
.

look, after 8 years of Bush, you republicans can't talk about who's not qualified. that's just sticking your whole foot, leg and half your a#$ in your mouth.

If his last name hadn't been Bush, he'd probably be working as the 'greeter' at the Crawford WalMart.

Yo! Relax a little. Take off your tie when you bowl. That alone can earn you an extra 100 points. Or delegates.
