Alternate headline: World burns, Obama talks hoops.

Via The Hill:

President Obama made an impromptu stop at a Los Angeles diner on Thursday to have lunch with four people who have written him letters.

But he also had a chance to talk about his hoops game.

During the diner drop-by, Obama was asked about how he’s faring in basketball these days by two older gentlemen, according to a White House pool report.

“My shot’s broke,” Obama said, as he held up his arm and did a mock free throw.

“It’s my elbow,” he continued. “It’s my age. I get the chicken wing.”

Obama said he makes 8 out of 10 shots, “but not in one game.”
