I’m Not Sure What the Record For This Is, But I Think He’s Got It Now

Between March 24th and November 9th, 1993, Micheal Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves sank 97 straight freethrows, setting an NBA record.

That sort of phenomenal precision in hitting a mark remained unsurpassed until September 23rd, 2009, when President Barack Obama managed to smile exactly the same way 130 consecutive times.

I stand in awe of this man’s physical prowess.

  2. Here I was, thinking this post was going to be about the number of people O-bah-muhh has thrown under the bus.
    Maybe that’s what he is thinking of, when he’s smiling that consistant smile.
    Unseen in the photo(s) of Barack, with his same wooden(plastic) smile, The PuppetMaster, George Soros, has his tentacle up Barack’s spine, and is tapped into his brain stem.

  3. Sorry folks, Obama wouldn’t have worn the same exact tie 130 times.

    Sorry, Kid. When I wear a tie, I usually wear the same one all day. If you click the link, you will read the following:

    On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself — the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr (link below). And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure.

  4. I looked at the curtains and wall behind him. He shifted his feet between photos, presumably to shake hands and schmooze with the other VIPs, but when the camera man said “Smile” he zipped right back into ‘cardboard cutout mode’! Not only the same smile, but the exact same pose. Very Creepy!
    (Didn’t Teddy Roosevelt once shake hands with 6000 people in a single day?)
    Samson killed 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass, but I don’t think he smiled at them (or shook their hands first).

  5. It doesn’t matter how much I hate the guy, I’ve got to admit, that’s impressive. This is slightly below Al Franken drawing the map of the US freehand in terms of people I hate doing impressive things.

    Obama smiling, and jawbone of an ass in the same post? And you didn’t make a direct connection?
