Obama to Watch Basketball Game on Carrier that Tossed bin Laden Into Sea…
Is Obama bringing the carrier home just for the “Carrier Classic” in San Diego to use the military as a photo-op for the Obama campaign? This MAY be the most expensive campaing stunt in histroy!
President Obama will be aboard the carrier vessel that buried Osama bin Laden on Veterans Day Friday, but not for an event related to terrorism or military action – he’ll be there for a basketball game.
Obama will be attending the “Carrier Classic” in San Diego, a college hoops match-up between North Carolina and Michigan State.
The USS Carl Vinson also happens to be the carrier that buried Usama bin Laden at sea earlier this year.
The carrier will serve as a backdrop for one of the president’s favorite past-times, as he’s an avid basketball fan – both as a player and observer. Obama plays often in Washington and even helped coach one of his daughter’s school teams last year.
He’s also attended several NBA games as president.
This will be the first game on an active carrier of this kind.
The college players will be dribbling on the 1,092-foot, nuclear-powered carrier and playing to a crowd of mostly active military personnel. The event is not open to the public.
