LONDON — President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron might
have big issues to confront – say, a debt crisis in their respective
countries. But for a brief moment on Tuesday, they put all that aside
for a game of table tennis.

Yes, they played ping pong.

"Who wants to take me on?" Obama asked as he walked into the Globe
Academy school gymnasium filled with teenagers, his jacket off and
sleeves rolled up.

Obama and Cameron launched into a brisk game of two-on-two table tennis: The World Leaders vs. The Students.

The president's competitive streak quickly came into full relief —
sighing when they missed points, high-fiving when they scored, and
making excuses when the ball fell just short of the table.

"Tennis is a sport," Obama said, trying to comfort Cameron on one of his missed shots.

They didn't keep score, but suffice it to say, the ping pong battle was one that the world leaders appeared to lose.

In the meantime, while Obama was having fun playing games, 112 residents of Joplin MO went to their deaths and another 1500 went missing in the worst tornado in over 50 years. I doubt Obama noticed.

What bothers me is that you defecate on him every chance you get.

It's a good thing you're saying it yourself, cuz everyone else I've spoken to says you're a PT (Progessive Turd.)

Oh my...an insult! Actually everyone I've talked to says you're a rwnj with nothing but hate to spew. Does it bother you that you never make a valid point?

Okay. So if I say, "somebody said you...........", then the best you can come back with is "somebody said you.............."

Not very original are you?

And BTW, I said nothing that was an insult. I merely informed you of what others, including some of your so-called friends, say about you.

I guess the truth hurts, after all.

Not at all I love to hear the truth especially when it's told by a truthful person. So tell me, does it bother you that your responses would put anyone to sleep?

Typical Obama reaction. Let's wait until Sunday to respond to the single deadliest storm in 60 some years. Meanwhile, Oklahoma and other Mid-West States are getting pounded again.

Obama is out having a jolly old time , while many of his taxpayers will never have to worry about paying taxes again. He should be getting worried about his country and taxpayers being destoyed by storms. Enjoy while you can Obama, because any day the money could come to a halt.
