Baller-in-Chief

Love or hate, voted for or not, President-elect Barack Obama will be stepping into the White House very soon and his every move will be observed.

One thing that Obama loves to do is ball. The team over at Black Fives has created a new website appropriately called: Baller-in-Chief.

The blog covers everything about the basketball activities, interests, skills, and health of President-elect Barack Obama.

Latest Poll (on the top left section): Could Obama beat you in basketball? Before you vote, you might want to check up on his skills and fitness regime.

So far: Maybe 29%, 10 votes — No 32%, 11 votes — Yes 38%, 13 votes.

I voted No, that he couldn’t beat me. Sorry Barack, I think I could take you.

Fitness Notes: The 47-year-old, who takes office on January 20, works out daily at the gym and tries to play basketball once a week. His doctor said in May that he was in excellent health and often jogged 3 miles a day and was fit to serve as U.S. president.

Plans: Here is an interesting article on Obama’s plans not to smoke in the White House (He quit but it still is tough). Ironically, the White House no-smoking rule was imposed by former First Lady Hillary Clinton, now Obama’s nominee for secretary of state.

Also, check out a NY Times article on the president-elects Dream Team (a few of the top cabinet choices are ballers as well) and his renovation plans of turning the current bowling alley into a basketball court.

Change is happening one ball court at a time!
