Obama a Wii user, plays Wii Sports Bowling

We’ve heard stories of celebrities getting in on Wii action in the past, but according to the New York Times, President-elect Barack Obama is interested in the console as well. Obama purchased the Wii for his daughters this Christmas and has managed to sneak in some time to play Wii Sports Bowling.

“Mr. Obama said he’d have his hands full attempting to rescue the American economy. But he has gotten in a little practice in bowling lately on the Nintendo Wii his daughters received for Christmas. Mr. Obama, who famously struggled in bowling during last year’s Democratic primaries, said he performs better in the video game.” – New York Times
