ABSTRACT

The date was March 30, 2008. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were involved in a knock-down drag-out fight for the Democratic Party nomination for president. When Obama woke up that morning, he didn't realize that it would turn out to be an extremely embarrassing day for him. He was traveling in Pennsylvania and making extra efforts to exhibit the “common” touch. Unfortunately, one of the ways he decided to do this was to go bowling. It was a disaster. His final score was a mere 37! Now to be fair, he only completed seven frames so perhaps his score would have improved somewhat in the end.
