Presidential Bowling Lanes

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 | Bowling shoes | No Comments

There’s chatter that President-elect Barack Obama plans to tear down the White House’s bowling lanes when he takes office. Apparently, his low bowling score during the campaign was something of a unsatisfaction. He’d prefer to stick to b-ball. Better known for his basketball skills, Obama recently chattered on the Jimmy Kimmel show about his plans to put in a basketball court instead of the Presidential bowling lanes.

Noting that Obama shamefully scored a 37 for 7 frames at a bowling event during the Presidential campaign, the Pro Bowlers Association is offering to give him free lessons from a professional. PBA stars like Billy Oatman and Norm Duke are offering their services.

What’s next? Free bowling shoes? Give the man his own ball? What does it take to keep the future president of the United States from getting rid of the same Presidential bowling lane that was first installed by Harry Truman? The same lanes that Richard Nixon is bowling in the famous poster above the Dude’s living room in the Big Lebowski? Should we bribe the president with pro lessons and free bowling shoes, just to give bowling another chance?

Bowling is an American sport. It’s easy, accessible, and intensely social. It brings families together, keeps the kids and mom and dad entertained. Perhaps if Obama got just a taste of that magic, could really feel the launch of the ball off his fingers as it flies into the pins, then maybe he’d change his mind. Maybe he’d just put the basketball court in next to the bowling alley and leave the Presidential lanes alone.

I’m sending our future president his own bowling shoes. He needs to get to understand what bowling is about. Let’s give him his own ball, and make sure it fits his hand. Then maybe he’d give bowling a try. Basketball is American too, but bowling keeps on giving. Americans of all ages can enjoy, from six years old to 90.

Although the thought of Richard Nixon turning over in his grave at the sight of a basketball court in place of his bowling alley is rather appealing…
