Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, is spending his free time attending sporting events. On Wednesday evening, he attended the Los Angeles Clippers game against the Detroit Pistons, reports TMZ.
Obama was in great spirits, sitting courtside next to Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife, Connie Snyder.
When the announcer declared over the stadium that Obama was in attendance, he stood up and greeted the crowd, waving to the stands. The former president was also presented with a Clippers jersey featuring the number 44 and his name.
It seems Obama had a wonderful time, as the Clippers managed to win the game 123-115, delighting the esteemed guest.
It is notable that Barack attended the game without his wife, Michelle. The previous day, he had dinner with his daughters Sasha and Malia without her. This has sparked a wave of speculation in the media about potential issues in the couple's relationship.
No comments have been made on this matter yet, and Obama is still wearing his wedding ring, so it is quite likely that these are just unfounded rumors by journalists.
