Give the President a Break

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.
