Obama Could Use Another Pair of Athletic Shorts

Last week, Robert Gibbs presented a photo of President Obama stuffing Reggie Love during a pick-up basketball game. It made headlines because Love played college ball at powerhouse Duke. But it was also the latest in a series of photos taken of the President playing his favorite sport where he's wearing pants instead of shorts. He seems to rotate between two pairs of pants when he hits the court, a pair of dark pants and blue Nike warm-ups.

Finally, The Dagger found a picture of the President playing in shorts:

Quite an improvement over his shorts of yore:

I can't help but wonder, though, why Obama doesn't show off his current pair of shorts more often. Uncovering his calves might even help Obama cover his man better.

Our President is better built than most men. Wearing pants distracts people from paying attention to his behind and to his front. It's better for people to notice his pants than for people to notice and comment about his ass and his manhood.

I think he'd have more fun and be a better player in shorts, but I think if he does so, he should make sure not to be photographed in his shorts.

Keep in mind that Black men are seen as sex objects by many in our society. Being seen as a sex object rather than being seen as our President ill serves Obama and our country.

It is striking how good he is at so many things.

It's no wonder that the Republican talking heads are so jealous of him.
----They've always been the boys who weren't great at anything who channeled their resentment into hatred. And he's the All-American "star" (as Michael Steele likes to call him) that they could never compete with.
