Baller-in-Chief

(From The Oval at USA Today Online)

Update at 11:02 a.m. ET. Basketball provides a lighter moment:

Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., ends his questions by asking Holder if he’ll do everything he can to defeat Obama on the basketball court (the president-elect is a regular player).

Holder, who played high school ball in New York City, says of Obama that “he’s 10 years younger than me. He plays a lot more frequently than I do. Having said that, I’ve got a New York City game. …

“If you give me a little time and a little space to get back in shape, I think I could hang with him.”

But beating Obama might not be a great idea, Holder jokes.
