Obama calls 14 y.o. boy a pig
After speaking, with his short sleeves rolled up on a picnic table, to the family, the presidential candidate got challenged to a game of PIG, a shorter version of the game HORSE on the family’s driveway basketball hoop by stepson Aaron Villicana.

"I’m feeling a little pressure," Sen. Obama, D-Ill., said when he hadn’t made a shot after a few tries. Villicana sunk a shot and then Obama retaliated with a swish.

...........

"He’s tough. He keeps on coming back," Obama commented, and then referencing the parallels to his long struggle on and off the court quipped, "He’s like Hillary."

With that Obama shot a jump shot and sunk the winning basket. (Villicana ultimately missed his shot, putting an end to the game.)

Final Score: Obama: P, Villicana PIG.

1. I guess a 'snort' would be appropriate here.

12. Then you came here with both eyes open- it gets pretty rocky sometimes.
Even so, it is never boring. Happy posting!

19. the game would go on a little longer
because you had tro make the same shot (say a reverse lay-up, or a left-handed hook shot) and then prove it at the end-so after your opponent (or you) missed the last shot the shot had to be made again...which made it more of a challenge
