White House ‘Scrubs’ Obama’s Missed 3-Pointers From Official Video?

White House Scrubs Obamas Missed 3 Pointers From Official Video?

Image source: YouTube

The White House‘s latest video recap of President Barack Obama’s week showed him urging passage of the Buffett Rule, taking part in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll and neatly sinking a 3-point basketball shot.

Missing? The four previous baskets the president didn’t make.

Check out the official White House footage of Obama making the basket (at the 1:47 mark):

Now see what actually happened:

BuzzFeed describes the omission as “White House Scrubs Obama’s Missed 3-Pointers in Weekly Video,” though the White House could argue the misses weren’t worth showing and were scrapped in the interest of time. After all, would you expect an official White House video of any president to paint him in an unflattering light?

    I want to scream from the rooftop

    nothing is true that comes from him
    he is an actor
    Glenn glenn glenn.. you are putting the pieces together Louie, Wright, Achmadinejad.. who do you they are working for????? come one now.. connect the final dot.. OBAMA IS Muslim working for Islamic takeover.. it is true
    Glenn is so smart but he just won’t see the obviious. I knew Barry and Ach were friends.. how? he is the only one Obama hasn’t taken out. They are all working in concert with the man that no one knows anything about.. that clearly hates this country and got to power with lies and corruption
    They will stop at nothing.. they are on a roll.. and they see the finish line.
    They are training forces to combat we, the people.. When will people see it? when they come and say.. hey.. we want to help you crackers so come with us.. get in this van and we will take you to……………………………………!

      What’s the big deal? Obangos ego is so leviathan he can’t admit failure at anything.

      As though throwing up a round ball and having it go through the hoop every time would make it fun or challenging.

      You have to know these clips go on DVD and he takes them home for the ‘family’ archives. “Look at daddy” he never misses.

      I think Glen and many others really know whats going on but its like the period we lived in where no one would believe those who said the NWO was real, TV influences ourlives more than anyone wants to admit, and that the multiculture is a failure of epic proportions.

      Of course BHO is a Muslim or worst case scenario a very sympathic soul to their cause which is world domination. Listen once the reigns of power have fully shifted from the White dominated Western nations its all over. I cannot see the new people incharge caring one wit about the White Americans of European descent or problems in America or elsewhere….Just look to South Africa if you think this statement is BS.

      People are being polarized against White Americans by the up and coming minorities whos parents and grandparents were given a hand up and a hand out in this great and generous land, but their children have been poisened to believe its been White Western culture that has created the third world and kept them in that state but its been their own corrupt governments instead.

      We now can see how the anti-christ will rise. They are calling for a one leader to bring the EU together. Soon they’ll be calling for a dictator here to settle our issues once and for all which will come when this WH crashes our economy.

      He is a Muslim by birth and I think Islam is his game, I also think Eric Holder has converted to Islam, they both are quiet fond of Muslims, adore the Black Panthers, Farrakhan. Farrakhan called Obama the messiah, and people listen when the messiah speaks, he was selected before he was elected. Now why would the leader of the nation of Islam call a “christian” as Obama claims to be, the Messiah in front of an Islamic audience? Glenn sees things, he just don’t want to go down the “it might be a conspiracy road.” He wants to be taken serious as the radio clown gig, and won’t touch the birther issue except to make fun of it. That really irks the heck out of me. Glenn, where’s your FBI, Private Investigators and retired Law Officers, your photoshop experts? Before you make fun of it, consider you’ve done nothing to disprove it or prove it. Really just shut up about it.

      Yeah great story Blaze.

      I mean, I totally believed the video included every other second of the day in its grand total of 4 minutes and 28 seconds. Clearly the only thing they omitted was 4 missed baskets.

      I mean really, have you not heard of a “highlight reel”, or are you too busy orally cleaning your own colon to know what that is.

      I literally want to backhand all of you that think this video is somehow deceitful. really… Really… REALLY?

    One more example of the leftist “God Emperor” being shown as some kind of “perfect, unfailing being” for all the world to bow to and worship and pay all due homage. They are constantly rewriting and trying to expunge history for their own propagandist falacies.

      I don‘t think it’s as bad as people are making it out to be. Seriously, anyone, anyone who is going to make some video collage or whatever you want to to call it, is going to use the best footage, it’s just common sense. This happens all the time, even normal people who post clips on Youtube, usually do some kind of editing.

      Now if Obama were to go out and say that he made it on his first shot, then that would be something to be a little upset about.

    Obummer throws like a girl, is lousy left-handed golfer (like me, so thank God for Bubba’s win at Masters to put left-handed golfers back in vogue), he doesn’t bowl well, when Obama tells Leno he has been working on his form by practicing in the White House’s basement bowling alley. Unfortunately, all he says all he can muster is a paltry 129. “It’s like — it was like Special Olympics or something,” Obama says. No published his “Barack-etology 2012″ results I’m sure those were just as abyssmal on his record the past 3 years.

    Obummer, do what you do best while on camera, lie when you speak… it really can’t be that difficult with teleprompters.
