In a stunning move, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has announced he is withdrawing from the 2008 presidential race to take over as the head coach of Princeton University's men's basketball team. In a hastily arranged press conference, Obama cited the opportunity to compete against his brother-in-law, Brown Head Coach Craig Robinson, in the Ivy League.
"It has always been a dream of mine to be elected to the presidency, but my secret first love has always been basketball," Obama said. "When I first began dating his sister Michelle, Craig challenged me to a game of one-on-one. Even though he was this big star at Princeton back in the day, I was beating him 10-9. But he banked in a two-pointer and then, even though we had explicitly agreed to the 'win by two' rule, Craig took his ball and went home. Let's just say, I have never forgotten about that game."
While he drops out of the election today, college basketball fans should feel comforted that he'll still be around.
