Let's hope he's better at pool than he is at bowling.

SPRINGHILL, WV - MAY 12: Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) plays a game of pool during a stop at Schultzie's Bar & Hot Spot May 12, 2008 in Springhill, West Virginia.

P.S. After saying he thought wearing an American flag pin was akin to a false patriotism, Obama appeared with one in his only campaign stop in West Virginia. Photo here, story at Flopping Aces.
