Obama goes one on one with Kimmel

Barack Obama talked basketball this week with Jimmy Kimmel. Obama, whose high school basketball team won the Hawaii state championship in 1979, diplomatically said he was a Bulls fan when asked if he was rooting for the Celtics or the Lakers in the NBA finals. The presumptive Democratic nominee said he manages to play a pickup game about once a week while on the campaign trail and (jokingly?) said he'd replace the White House bowling alley with a basketball court if he's elected.

To Amy's likely dismay, the interview ended with a via-satellite fist pound between Kimmel and Obama.

  1. I will accept the use of the fist pound because the situation called for it.

    However, Barack Obama should not start using the via-satellite fist pound to end every interview. Or else he will get a sternly-worded letter from Stop the Political Fist Pound Now.
