President Barack Obama’s basketball buddy may have gotten a busted chin during a pick-up-run with the Hoopster-in-Chief, but it was the president whose game got busted later in the day.
Comedian Wanda Sykes rained long-range bombs on Obama’s basketball prowess as the headline act at Saturday’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner, humorously telling the president that he shouldn’t thump his chest about his game.
Obama, whose basketball nickname in high school was “Barry O’Bomber,” is a hoops enthusiast who played pick-up faithfully during last year’s presidential campaign and entertained his hometown NBA Chicago Bulls at the White House earlier this year.
“I bet you think your game is really nice right now, don’t you? Yeah, you really think you got good moves,” Sykes told a packed hotel ballroom with Obama sitting near her. “C’mon, nobody’s gonna give the president a hard foul with the Secret Service standing there.”
“He’s probably bragging and everything,” Sykes continued, “’You should have seen me today, baby, I was ballin’! They’re just stroking your ego, like ‘Ohh, Mr. President, you really shook me that time! I thought you were going this way, I saw Secret Service do this, so I went that way, right to the hole, right to the hole.’”

And they wonder why there is so much hatred in our nation. Well MR president, you hang out with the thugs of the world and you turn your back on our oldest allies. You have a hateful celebrity make fun of your political opponents. Is this the change we can believe in or is it payback time?
