How many Presidental Candidates have played basketball with local folks?  I will tell you the truth I really like this guy and think he could be the answer to the mess we are currently in.  Our country couldn't be in any worse shape.  We change and we need it soon.  Another republican will continue the downward path we have taken the last 8 years.  Who to blame is another question, I just feel so much hope when I listen to Obama speak or when I read articles like these.

Great write up.

He's such a great person that he has been subjecting his two young daughters to Rev Wright their entire lives. This Wright guy preaches things like the US gov't created AIDS to kill black people in his church.

Hopefully Obama did better at basketball than bowling (score-37). He may be slightly better than John Kerry at pretending to be a regular guy.

"He may be slightly better than John Kerry at pretending to be a regular guy."

I hope you're not one of the fools who voted for Bush because you thought he was a regular guy.  Yes, he owns an ranch and from Texas.  But he also comes from New England old money and is a Yale legacy.  Anyone can buy a ranch in Texas and run an oil business and baseball team into the ground.  It don't make them a good ol' boy.

Gimme a break!  Too many politicians are using sports, both college and pros, for their own personal agenda.  The BCS and MLB are proof of it already.  I really get sick of politicians because they are all liars and theives anyway, there is no Mr. Smith anywhere near Washington D.C.  The only way they got elected was by lying and once they get in office all they do is steal from the common working man. But I digress, if he was gonna play ball with a team to show he was a common guy; why not play with ANY team from Illinois or in a YMCA rec league?  Sorry too many politicians are insincere, no matter what their party, and I don't want 'em involved in sports as a way to promote themselves or their own agenda.

I am not real sure that the North Carolina Mens Final Four Basketball team, with numerous NBA players, is really comprised of "normal" guys.  It is good to see someone reaching out to youth, but this is really a political ploy in North Carolina, not to say that I wouldn't do the same thing.  I agree with the general gist though, we definitely need change and need a democrat.  At this point, I just hope whoever wins the nomination has enough left in the tank to take out McCain.

Obama is the real thing and America needs to take this chance and elect a great president. Maybe he even told Lawson, Green and Ellington to get their heads out of their asses and go back to college.

GO HEELS & OBAMA!

haha i don't think hansbrough and company qualify as "local folks". if he had played with me this morning thats another story. but thats besides the point. i went to his rally at the dean dome yesterday and it was absolutely incredible. he is such an inspiring speaker and i feel that same sense of hope you mentioned in your post.
