Look what happened to Truman. The papers had the headline already printed for the next day that Dewey won. I hear Obama is even planning on putting a bowling alley in the White House since he is already president. Can we say Smug? This should make us all mad!!!
The White house already has a bowling alley. I remember hearing about it when I was a kid on a trip to Washington, DC. Check out the link, there's pictures of Nixon bowling, lol.

The White House Bowling Alley is a one-lane bowling alley in the basement of the White House under the North Portico.

Bowling lanes were first built in the ground floor of the West Wing as a birthday gift for President Truman in 1947 (in the location of the present-day Situation Room); Truman didn't care for bowling himself, but allowed staff to start a league. These were moved to the Old Executive Office Building in 1955 to make way for a mimeograph room.

In 1969, President and Mrs. Nixon, both avid bowlers, had a new one-lane alley built (paid for by friends) in an underground workspace area below the driveway leading to the North Portico
