A bit more than a month ago, Obama took in some bowling. Showing he was in touch with the common man etc… less creepy than Hillary’s whiskey swigging, but somehow more pathetic.

He bowled a 37 in 7 frames and then gave up. 37?

For comparison, meet Dale Davis of Iowa. Aged 78, blind:

“If somebody comes up to me and says, ‘Hello,’ unless I recognize their voice, I have no idea who they are,” Davis said. “In the bowling alley, looking straight down the wooden lane, I’m completely blind. Everything is just very, very hazy.” …

On this night, the last ball flew out of his fingers feeling good. “The instant I released it, I thought I tugged it a real little bit,” Davis said. “But then I heard somebody say, ‘Brooklyn.’”

In bowling, a Brooklyn is a strike that “crosses over” the 1-3 pocket, a term that originated in New York, where people in Brooklyn had to cross the East River to get to Manhattan.

A second later, Davis’ ball crashed into the pins, unleashing a crackle that echoed through the four-lane alley. He knew all the pins had fallen because of the response of everyone who had been watching.

A perfect 300.

Hopefully this won’t be the only septuagenarian to whup Obama.
