Bowling Lefty

Barack Obama was in Pennsylvania on Sunday trying to show that he was a regular guy, but succeeded -in my mind- in doing the opposite. For a "down to earth" campaign stop Obama bowled a game at the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center.

Now I'm a pretty bad bowler who's probably gone twice in the last five years. If I crack 130 that's a great game for me, but on the other end there's little excuse for dipping below 100. Barack Obama bowled a 37.

Maybe it seems like nitpicking, but that score is just too low to go without comment. In the exact opposite spirit as was intended Obama showed that he is so far removed from the average guy that he apparently has never handled a bowling ball before.

And in an extra bit of useless irony: he bowls lefty...

**UPDATE** Watch this video where Mary Katherine Ham tries her hardest to bowl a 37 - the only rule: No intentional gutterballs.
