This comment, from the “Baller-in-Chief” article by Nicki Parikh for Tweed at Ogilvy Entertainment, includes an informed mention of this blog:
For those of you who are not yet convinced about President Obama’s ability to influence and his passion for basketball, there is a blog, Baller-in-Chief, that reports all the basketball happenings and interests of President Obama. The blog reports that 38% of those surveyed think they can beat Obama in a game of basketball. Well, the UConn women’s basketball team—the 2009 National Champions—lost to Obama in a game of P-I-G. As a die-hard UConn fan, I must say that should be fair warning that President Obama is skilled. Although, I can also confidently say that they had to have let him win!
Thanks, Nicki. Another way of stating this is say that only 38% believe they can beat President Obama. The other side of your stat is that roughly 46% of respondents think that they would lose in a basketball game against the president, and 16% aren’t sure.
