    Why, are we sending a message that a US President cannot be a human being.  I would order a poster size of this image - I love it.  He has been working hard to get things done in his very short tenure as president.  I love the fact that he is cool enough to go to a Wizards game, kick back, and knock a couple down.  There is nothing illegal about it.
