It's a popular myth that the president's favorite game is either golf our basketball. Yesterday he went a long, long way towards dispelling those notions.
Though hardly surprising, Mr. Obama simply could not help himself. He just had to join in all the fun associated with the hottest game in America called, "Let's Pretend."
In case you don't know the rules of the game that is now sweeping the nation, you can click and learn all about LET'S PRETEND.
Nope. Forget about golf, and forget about basketball. It is Let's Pretend that is the rage all over America these days, even in the White House.
Concern over gun violence might have prompted the president to address the failure of super-strict gun control laws to curb hundreds of black-on-black murders in Chicago. And if he were truly serious about ending racism, he could have condemned the outrageously racist laws in his home state of Illinois. Instead, based strictly on his own skin color, he chose to compare himself to a 17 year-old who had been recently suspended twice from school for being in possession of burglary tools. The fact that this individual also got himself killed while he was committing a violent felony at 3:00am was also irrelevant. As the name of the game implies, when you play Let's Pretend facts don't matter. The only thing relevant in the game played at the White House yestereday was the president's skin color.
Some people were surprised by how strong the president's game was yesterday, but not the Clintons. Though Bill and Hill also dabble in Let's Pretend, they are not able to compete at the same level as the president. This explains why Bill still prefers golf.
