Evidently President Obama’s wanting to play basketball with the guys is disturbing to some people.

I am unclear why this is so.

Sometimes guys like to hang out with guys in their free time. The President lives in a house with three females. He works in an office with gals and guys. Why shouldn’t some of this free time be with his male friends? Aren’t single-sex hang out times different (not better just not the same) than mixed situations?

This desire by the President to play basketball with his male friends is normal and says nothing about his views on anything that should be in the public interest.

Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
GIVE NOW
