Obama's Dream Team

Forget Team of Rivals. As Obama said this week, his cabinet could easily take on all comers in a game of hoops. The Wall Street Journal confirms the Obama team has "serious basketball credentials" and several of them are hoping for regular court time once the new president is settled into the White House. The NBA has reached out to help the White House install a regulation court and Obama is expected to host weekly games. Requests to participate will be handled by Rahm Emanuel. Not everyone is a fan of the idea: The White House already features a bowling alley beneath the north driveway, installed as a birthday present to Harry Truman, and the president of the Bowling Proprietors Association of America said it would be a "sad, sad day" if Obama makes good on rumors he will scrap it.
