Obama's Dainty Balls

Posted by Katie Halper

Obama has a prissy side. And he lacks the "balls of Reagan" that Americans need and want.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-hosts and co-real-men Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist showed fascinating footage of Obama bowling in Pennsylvania and discussed the nominee's "dainty release" and the way he  handles his bowling balls.

SCARBOROUGH:  Americans want their president, if it's a man, to be a real man... I remember Ronald Reagan goes to South Boston. He holds up that beer mug. He's a real man. And I guess Barack Obama's trying to do the same thing, too... Awful. Good Lord. Oh my God. Oh, this is awful.

GEIST: Started out nicely, got the Velcro shoes.... But then he started bowling. The score you're really after in bowling is 300; that's a perfect score.

SCARBOROUGH: But, you know, if you get 200, you're a good bowler.... You get 150, you're a man -- or a good woman.

GEIST: Out of my president, I want a 150, at least. Barack Obama bowled -- well, you can see his form here --

SCARBOROUGH: Hee!

GEIST: A 37. That's a three, next to a seven.

SCARBOROUGH: Baby, if you go to Altoona, Pennsylvania, on a Saturday night and you're going to try to bowl --  Oh, that's so dainty. Ugh. What a dainty --  That is such a dainty release.
 
GEIST: Oh, it's like a children's birthday party.
 
SCARBOROUGH: I've got a feeling he -- he didn't go bowling in Cambridge that much. That's a guy that's been studying a lot of -- reading a lot of books.... Not bowling.
