WASHINGTON -It was a family affair for President Barack Obama at the Oregon State-George Washington University basketball game Saturday.
Brother-in-law Craig Robinson is the Oregon State coach. And the president brought along first lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha, and mother-in-law Marian Robinson.
The family sat courtside in the half-full Smith Center, munching on popcorn as Oregon State (2-3) handed George Washington its first loss after four victories.
After leading comfortably for much of the game, OSU survived a late rally by GWU to win 64-57 in front of a boisterous crowd.
Naturally, the Obamas were intensely interested in the outcome. Obama and Mrs. Robinson clapped when OSU scored. Mrs. Obama smiled and clapped, too.
Obama, an avid basketball fan who likes to play the game himself as often as he can, spent the past two days out of public view, enjoying Thanksgiving at the White House with family and friends. After the game, the president returned to the White House.

This nutcase Obama, who suffers from delusions of grandeur, should be locked in a rubber room with his teleprompter. Then he can keep talking about his great plans! By the way, last week a Gallup poll came out that states 54% now believe that Obama was dishonest during the campaign for President. In other words a majority agree what I have known all along: OBAMA IS A LYING SACK OF CRAP!

I hear a lot of Leftists blame Republicans for not supporting this LUNACY. The fact is, a lot of INDEPENDENTS like myself voted Against the DEMS last Tuesday and many conservative INDEPENDENTS will continue to OPPOSE this Authoritarian SOCIALISM being foisted on us by this REGIME! This is far more IMPORTANT than PARTY POLITICS!

The sorry, worthless son of a bitch hasn't done anything yet that has been positive. Why would we expect him to move in a correct direction? The "stimulus" bill only rewarded party hacks, and entitlements, with a goal of buying the next election. There was not a chance in hell for sustained jobs, a point now proven. Even though the infrastructure in this country needs attention, only 5% would address those issues! All this Dictator WANNABE has done is generate huge deficits, destroy the foundation of our currency, and increase government control. He should already be jailed as a TRAITOR. With his push on SOCIALIZED MEDICINE and support for the disastrous CAP and TRADE for a problem that may not exist, it is clear his administration is NOT about the good of America!

Two things I got out of this. First Obama's mouth was moving, so he must have been lying. Second his speech writers have been busy, the question is did they explain to him what he was saying? I keep hearing Obama is a lawyer, but actually I think he was a snake oil salesman and I trust him about as much as I trust a snake oil salesman.

The administrations bible, Rules for Radicals, teaches that using mainstream subtrefuge through programs like health care and the environment is the only effective way to destroy a capitalist system...bankrupt it...then the only answer is Big Brother. This is intentional people, wake up! Repub, Dem, doesn't matter. They all have to go.

Great comment! Here's one for you. Our Constitution is written on 17 pages and has ran our country for 235 years. Why in the world would the Senate and Congress need a bill on 2000 pages to run our Healthcare system? Simple, they have so much junk hidden in those pages it will take 20 years to find them all. How can anybody with a brain in their head be so naive to believe in OBAMACARE????? The time has come to impeach our wanna be dictator. Go to www.impeachobama@impeachobamacampaign.com to sign the petition.

I wonder where his next vacation destination will be. I already know when...he hasn't got off of the last one yet. What a pathetic excuse for a leader.
