You may have never thought you could get this political insight from a sports commentator, but former NBA Detroit Pistons star-turned-host of "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" on Fox Sports Network John Salley has defied expectations. Salley recently appeared on September 23 edition of "The Adam Carolla" podcast and asked Carolla a very pointed and insightful question.
"I have a question - do you hate Obama?" Salley asked. "Why are so many people who now hate him after just 266 days they loved him? All of white America. Not all of ‘em but the majority."

Even blacks are starting to wakeup:
According to the Pew Research Center, the president’s approval rating nationwide is now 10 points lower than last April. Included in this is a three-point drop in his approval among blacks.
You might say a drop in approval ratings among blacks from 95 percent to 92 percent is trivial. But I say not so.
If we assume this reflects the 16 million blacks who voted for Obama last November, a three-point shift means there are about a half million blacks who now have buyer’s remorse.

BECAUSE HE AN F-—ING COMMUNISTS !
It appears to be easier to play the race card rather than educate one’s self and learn what one is talking about.
Black racism gooood, white guilt gooood, affirmative action for those without the talent to fill the job they aspire to goood. Truth and knowledge baaaad.
Because he's a farking moron who's going to bankrupt us all before he gets us killed.
That's why.
The whole article is worth a read.
HE IS RIPPING US ALL OFF!!!!!
Now, do you understand?
Well said.
John, if you have to ask......
A lot of white guilt was assuaged, and now people wish they could have voted for a black person who isn’t a post-American idiot.
It isn’t about “White America” hating Obama, it’s about an empty suit who rules like a third world dictator, who has NOTHING positive to say about America and who’s a lazy narcisstic clown. I never thought anyone could make me look back fondly to the Clinton presidency but this a$$hat did just that.
The Liberals have done more to fan the flames of racism in the last 6 months than the Republicans and Independents have done in 60 years. It is not about the color of the man’s skin but about the nature of the man’s soul.
I think most (white)people thought they were voting for Bryant Gumbel, and they have now discovered it was Elridge Cleaver instead. I am seeing a pretty bad case of buyers remorse in South Florida right now.
“Former NBA Star..”
Not even close. John Salley was a scrub & just ended any chance or hope of employment in the NBA front office or bench.
Because white America ran out of Hopium.
Here’s a question—why is black America nearly 100% in his corner, come what may.
If ethnicity trumps all for you, you’re not a serious person or culture, and I don’t take you seriously. Blacks might say they’re being “loyal”. Charles Manson’s girls were loyal to him, I’ll give them that. What else you got?
Greeks, to name one ethnic group, may have been proud to have Dukakis run for President (I sure as hell wouldn’t have been if I was Greek) and no one could hold them at fault for being proud. I can’t fault blacks if they were proud of Obama for running.
But if, as an adult, you don’t bother to know, or explore, the issues or vote for a candidate you believe is best for America, then you don’t deserve to vote.
Of course, many blacks hate America, as does BO, and his policies are manna from heaven for them, or so they think. There isn’t a lot of critical thinking, or long-term thinking involved-just knee-jerk impulses. I think this blind mania has diminished them in the eyes of some, although many won’t say it.
What a idiot
