Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts thought it would be a good — again,
that's good — idea yesterday to ramble for 10+ minutes yesterday
on the Senate floor about his fantasy game of basketball with
President Obama, during which they would discuss policy. This is

could actually invite me," Roberts said on the Senate floor.
"[E]verybody knows the president is a very good basketball
player."  Roberts, who said he also plays basketball, then laid

shouldn't be more concerned with increasing the debt ceiling
past the 2012 elections and working on a long-term solution for
solving the crisis," said Roberts.  "He would probably go to the

to emphasize…that he…seems to be fixated on one specific
industry," said Roberts, adding
