Obama Joins CBS Announcing Booth During Duke-Georgetown Game
Monday, February 01, 2010
Over the weekend, there was some great College Basketball games, but all the focus was on Duke and Georgetown because Barry Obama was in the house. For most of the game, Obama looked on courtside, but in the second half he decided to stop by the booth and chat with Verne Lundquist and Clark Kellogg....
Not a bad job really. They didn't make him do a whole lot of play by play, but I really enjoyed the "go to the right" joke.

Barry Obama? Who's that?
Sounds like hollywood wags has written this post. Barry Obama!
@ SSR: I'm sure he'll have some comment on this eventually. ;-)
Now, if ole Barry boy would spend some time cleaning up his mess in Washington...wait, forget that! Maybe he and Biden attending basketball games IS the best thing for the country, right now! I got seasn tickets to the NETS, Barry, go watch every night!
"best color man in college basketball" funny comment Mr. President.
This would not be the first time a sitting president has done announcing for a major sports contest. Ronald Reagan joined Harry Caray and called play-by-play for part of an inning in 1987 at Wrigley Field. Reagan was a PBP man in his early years.
wow does he care more about going to basketball games or fixing the country, or wasting money on Haiti when theres tons more problems in our own f-----g country???
The best part was when Duke lost.
