Leader of the Free World can't sink a free throw

4/10/2012

President Obama loves his hoops, but his shooting prowess wasn't on display Monday when he took to the court during the basketball-themed Easter Egg Roll. The commander-in-chief was joined by a slew of kids, the Harlem Globetrotters and former NBA players Mitch Richmond and Darryl Dawkins, who witnessed him miss seven shots (with a ball that had his face imprinted on it) before finally finding the net. Later, from three-point range, it took five attempts before one fell in.

Perhaps he didn't want to do the pushups required after each point scored. This presidency stuff is getting in the way of Obama's game.
