Remember when Barack Obama's poor bowling skills doomed him forever to the political hinterlands?

Wasn't that awesome?

President Obama will now have time to work on his game at the White House bowling alley.

Or maybe not. More memories.

INDIANAPOLIS -- He hasn't yet won the Democratic nomination for president, let alone the November general election. But already Illinois Sen. Barack Obama says he has some renovation plans for the White House.

"I have sworn that we're taking out the bowling alley in the White House and we're putting in a basketball court," he said, according to a pool press report of his visit this afternoon to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle, Ind., today.
