Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama met with UNC basketball coach Roy Williams, toured the Smith Center and practiced with the Tar Heels this morning in Chapel Hill.
Obama no match for UNC's Heels
By Anne Blythe, Staff Writer
CHAPEL HILL - The North Carolina primary only a week away, Sen. Barack Obama turned on the full-court press Tuesday morning.
The Democratic presidential candidate scrimmaged with the UNC Tar Heels at the Dean E. Smith Center.
In the early morning work-out, the senator dodged elbows, sprinted all out and zigged and zagged with his competition -- much like a politician on the campaign trail.
Only hours after trying to score big political points in front of thousands at a Smith Center rally Monday night, Obama suited up in black sweat pants and a gray T-shirt hoping to make a few more points on the hardwood.
Yes, they actually held a rally for Obama in the Dean Dome...
But overcoming the likes of Tyler Hansbrough, the national collegiate player of the year, proved difficult for the 46-year-old presidential hopeful.
Just a sidebar...but yes Tyler is returning to play for his senior year...three other players (Green, Lawson, and Ellington) may not.
With more than a dozen members of the national press corps and several local TV crews watching on the sidelines, Obama took on the tough center, but missed to a resounding "ooh."
"I thought I had one over the national player of the year," the candidate said.
Obama kept up with the run-and-gun pace for at least five minutes before benching himself. When he got back in the game, Coach Roy Williams, who was watching from a chair on the sidelines, called out: "You guys are leaving the next president of the United States wide open."
Yep...that made me dry heave!
Before hitting the hardwood, Obama toured the Coach Bill Guthridge Locker Room with Williams and his wife Wanda.
Reporters were not permitted to get close enough to Obama and Williams to hear their conversation or to ask them questions.
Obama spent the night in Chapel Hill following a rally late Monday at the Smith Center. He was scheduled to speak this morning at the Joel Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, before heading to a town hall meeting this afternoon in Hickory.
And then he just HAD to go to my hometown and do a drive-by political speech...

Well, after UNC's post-season performance, I guess they need all the help they can get.

:bs: WAY to general remark, Brother. They performed extremely well in every post-season game up to the Final Four game with Kansas...and, I agree, that game was nothing for the Tarheels to be proud of at all. "It was horrible!"

Don't worry... In Barrack's America, he's going to "change" everything for the better. Nobody will lose any games, once he becomes Emporer of the United States.
