the guidelines of such declarations suggest a higher standard than what is WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama couldn’t pass up the chance to see a college basketball game between two top 10 teams.
So on a snowy Saturday, Obama joined a sellout crowd to watch seventh-ranked Georgetown take on No. 8 Duke. Obama’s personal assistant, Reggie Love, played basketball at Duke.
UPDATE: Georgetown won the game in a 89-77 rout. Obama attended the game along with adviser David Axelrod, VP Joe Biden, press secretary Robert Gibbs, and special assistant (and former Duke basketball player) Reggie Love.
The president, who often plays in pickup games and watches his daughters’ contests, also attended a college game on Nov. 28 not far from the White House. That matchup was between Oregon State and George Washington. Obama’s brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, is the Oregon State coach.
Duke and Georgetown are using their game to launch an initiative to raise money for children in refugee camps in the Darfur region of Sudan.
