78 year old blind guy out bowls Obama

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.

    Ah. Of course. Sorry, the subtle sophistication of the conservative mind sometimes eludes me.

    Yeh, that it would.

    and THAT confirms … that he’s easy to make fun of, and his campaign staff are over paid.

    It also illustrates that being able-bodied or not is rarely relevant.

    Most illuminating.
