SUMMARY: On MSNBC, Reuters' Jon Decker raised the issue of Sen. Barack Obama's bowling performance and stated: "[T]his cuts to 'is this person real? Do they connect with me as a voter?' You know, for someone who's in a bowling league in northeast central Pennsylvania ... they can't identify with someone getting a 37 over seven frames." Decker's comments follow those of MSNBC figures, particularly Chris Matthews, who have purported to identify actions or characteristics of Obama that they claim suggest he is not a "regular" person and is out of touch with average Americans.
