Good, but not Good Enough

Compared to what?
He cannot perform one of most basic American pastimes: bowling. Everyone (aside from those who live in New York, LA and Washington, DC) has bowled at least once in their life. And virtually any first-time bowler can manage better than the score of 37 (out of 300) that Obama bowled in 2008. Not a single boy in my son’s Cub Scout day of bowling managed a score of less than 70. No less than an MSNBC host likened Obama’s bowling skills to that of a little girl.
I’m reminded of the time I took my future wife and her son bowling. I’d just told them I hadn’t bowled in eight years. Of course, my first bowl was a strike! Which is almost what Obama managed in his whole game.
Needless to say, I won that bowling outing.
She got me back later. I thought I was hot on the billiards table. I didn’t know that she had some billiards experience. No, she was hot; and not because she was naked. She beat me three-ways from Sunday. (someday I’m gonna look up that saying.) I’m thinking of taking her to pool-halls and using her to make money. She has an intuitive grasp of geometry and vectors. And she can probably distract the opponents by judicious use of cleavage.
