yeah, i mean he made the comment in jest on Jimmy freaking Kimmel. It wasnt like he was at a debate.

now im sure if Hilary jested that she wanted to replace the bowling alley with a spa (or something stereotypical) there'd be similar uproar.

IIRC-the bowling area replaced a pool as some point in time.
When I saw this on TV I had a feeling that this was going to happen.

FYI, CNN also had the story on their site; I guess that's funny/sad as well.

Both of which are cooler than a basketball court.

Just wondering where the CNN link is?
I found a reference to Fox New/AP story but none on CNN itself.

All in all, seems to be either a poorly written and/or edited story.

If one saw it, it was a very much tongue in cheek comment.

And as I pointed out, things do get changed all time in the White House.

And as someone at my gym pointed out: "Just how would members of of Washington Sport Clubs ( or any other) feel if they were told that the gym was closed for a few hours?"

But then again, the Congress has a rather large gym of their own.
Could the President use it?
