<!-- end .byline -->WASHINGTON ? There was a familiar voice behind the microphone during the Duke-Georgetown basketball game ? that of Barack Obama.
The president, attending as a fan, provided about seven minutes of nationally televised hoops commentary in the second half of Saturday's matchup of two top 10 teams at the Verizon Center near the White House.

=============================
We can add another to letterman/leno/oprah etc "look/listen at me" circuit.
You'd think he never got any attention growing up. :SIB

He is not allowed to check out a basketball game?

Give the man a break he was not smart enough to buy a ranch just before being elected for him to escape to 75% of the time.

Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter
Texas lawyer struck in face, chest with birdshot

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a campaign contributor during a weekend quail hunt on a friend's South Texas ranch, local authorities and the vice president's office said Sunday.

The wounded man, 78-year-old Harry Whittington, was in intensive care at a Corpus Christi hospital after being hit by several pellets of birdshot Saturday afternoon, hospital spokesman Peter Banko told CNN.

"He's doing well and in stable condition today," Banko said.

Whittington, an Austin attorney who gave $1,000 to President Bush's 2000 campaign and $2,000 to his 2004 re-election bid, was among a handful of people accompanying the vice president when the accident occurred Saturday afternoon.

Cheney, 65, visited him Sunday afternoon at the hospital, "and was pleased to see he is doing fine and in good spirits," Cheney spokeswoman Lee Anne McBride said. (Watch when Cheney's office decided to release information -- 1:23)

The shooting occurred about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Kenedy County Sheriff Ray Salinas said. He said his deputies are investigating the shooting but consider it an accident.

Cheney, an avid hunter, was shooting at a covey of quail on the Armstrong Ranch near Kingsville, about 30 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. The ranch's owner, Katharine Armstrong, said Whittington was about 30 yards from Cheney when the vice president fired.

Armstrong, who was with the group when the accident occurred, said Whittington was "peppered" with birdshot. Pellets hit him in the face and chest, but he never lost consciousness, she said. (Watch how a witness described the accident -- 6:34)

"I would shoot Dick Cheney everywhere, anywhere, and not think twice about it," she said. But she said, "The nature of quail shooting ensures that this will happen. It goes with the turf."

Then why was Dicky out hunting ? I think he broke the no fun rule.

Not to mention at least Obama is a good basketball shooter.

And you are an asshole?

Whats your point?

I think anyone who runs for political office has an ego, and anyone who runs for president has one.

To think you are good enough to run an entire country you have to think you are the shit.

You can not be a cowardly pussy like yourself there hedge.

How many weekends did Gee Wiz go to Camp David or "Pretend to be Cowboy" at Crawford ?

At least Barry is an athelete !

Quit being such a reactionary, I think the guy is a buffoon, but I really don't care if he smokes, if he wants to catch a game or whatever he chooses to do on a weekend. :shrug:

It's really not healthy to sit around and chastise people for every single move they make.

 

[shawn555]

The other day hedge you had no problem with him watching some basketball now today this.

Did rush tell you its bad to watch basketball?

 

[shawn555]

what is your point? everyone has down time after work, so what if wants to watch basketball, I would expect nothing less from the President:shrug:

:shrug:

 

[Lumi]

What I'm bitching about-- announcing bb games--trying to change ncaa rules on playoffs--playing the oprah-leno-letterman circuit-- ETC are not what comes to mind when I think of presidential duties--and apparently no pres before him has either--must be the "change we can believe in" theme"

I'm more concerned about him getting ready to announce today--that he's getting ready to sign biggest deficit in history (beating previous record of his last year) right after coming off state of union with his --reducing the deficit grift.

How stupid does he think people are--opps sorry about that.

So you would rather have a president who is on disconnect mode like Bush?

Bush spent the majority of his time on vacation in Crawford and you had no problem with that.

This president has said more transparency and he has not provided us with that on everything he has been more engaging with the public and I fail to see the problem.

I would much rather see him go to the occasional basketball game or go on Leno or Oprah once than hide in Texas for long stretches of time.

I have no doubt that this president is way more prepared on every issue than Bush was on any issue.
