Obama bowls like a girl, whats he trying to prove?
That he can relate to the blue collar voters in PA?

His inexperience is really showing.

66. Is this the biggest issue facing our country?
Desperate doesn't explain it.

4. We need, like, 100 threads on Bowl-Gate. Because it's a campaign killer, for sure.

18. I bet you miss a lot of points on analogies on standarized tests
Obama to bowling is not Kerry to windsurfing (or to cycling or ice hockey). Kerry actually is an accomplished athlete.

Now Bush riding a bike, that works.

16. "like a girl"
I am a "girl" and I can't bowl for shit, nor do I particularly CARE for bowling. If I did, I would be a much better bowler. Ergo - people who do not bowl may or may not be "good" at it.

Jeez - and who the hell cares anyway?

17. What does bowing proficiency have to do...
with being an effective and intelligent leader?

Sheesh, I bet W is a craptastic bowler,
especially after a couple beers under his belt.

Obama was campaigning, which means getting out with
the real people, and letting them see that he's really
human. He also bottle fed a calf, worked out at a gym,
and ate a burger with onion rings..

Why should his bowling skills be judged?

He's a constitutional scholar,
a Harvard man, a brilliant litigator.

since when does he have to be like Bush?

By the way, he only bowled 7 frames, you knew that, didn't you? Not that it makes much difference. Apparently he's a hoops guy.

31. Folks, don't come to Jackson Hole with your skis or a board!!
I know, that's not something most of you would ever do, but if you did you'd see a VERY popular bumper sticker that says

SKI LIKE A GIRL!!



It's on the back of the vehicles of some of the best steep skiers and boarders in the world. They've pretty much taken back that phrase, at least around here. The first thing I think of when I see 'Do X Like a Girl' is A.J. Carghill dropping a 80' cliff into a 50 deg chute and carving warp speed turns 1,000' to the flats. Un uh, not me!!

37. I don't believe bowling is gender based, I also believe it's possible he threw the game on purpose.
Many people try not to out golf their boss, the bowling alley was full of potential bosses come election day. I believe Obama succeeded in not offending any of them with superior bowling.

I'm a good bowler(best league average 219) and had all I could handle from them.I'd guess 90% of male league bolwers wish they could bowl like those *girls*
