WTOP’s Mark Segraves has a nice little scoop—apparently President-elect Barack Obama played basketball at the Marie Reed Community Learning Center in Adams Morgan on Sunday. According to his spokesperson, he left the Hay Adams Hotel at 5:15 p.m. and and played basketball for 45 minutes. But wouldn’t the center have been closed at that hour? Indeed, but Mayor Adrian Fenty arranged for it to be opened for the president-elect.

At this frenetic pace, Obama could well see more of the District than any of the 43 presidents before him, and before even being inaugurated. While his weekend trip to Ben’s Chili Bowl has been derided by some as a predictable stunt, playing basketball at a local community center is something we don’t think any president has done before.
