Two successful baskets from 22 shots isn’t anything to write home about for basketball fan Barack Obama.

By Declan Whooley

The American President joined players from the Women’s National Basketball Association and a team of young girls in a shoot-out against an all-male team yesterday, but his accuracy, or lack of it, was the main talking point.

A famed fan of a number of sports and in particular basketball, he needed 15 attempts to get the ball through the hoop, with a final score of two baskets in 22 shots.

“Oh, man,” Obama said as his shots kept hitting the rim. “Come on. Come on. Did you see that?”

Not a great return for the President. Maybe he sould have said “Is feidir liom” during the shot-taking exercise for extra motivation.
