Baller-in-Chief

Here is yet another basketball metaphor to describe President Barack Obama’s propects at this week’s G20 Summit, from Sam Malcomson for a Huffington Post article entitled Barack Obama Joins the Group of 20:

I’m glad Barack Obama plays basketball. Because the other side is getting giddy. They’re sensing something – not victory, but a change in the game, a shift in momentum. It’s tricky to play in those circumstances. The West will have morale issues going into the summit; the Europeans have been playing some very messy ball these past few weeks; and the U.S. is not used to coming from behind. But Obama is. He’s been coming from behind all his life.
