Obama Attends Washington Wizards Basketball Game

The YouTube clip is just an example of my comment I'm going to make. Obama loves sports, particularly basketball. I was watching Kentucky Wildcats play South Carolina the other night and there were the commentators showing a phone call from Obama to Calapari and the Kentucky team members during a Haiti telethon they were having. I am watching the Duke vs Georgetown game right now and here's Obama again at the game with his commentary. I think a deal should be made that Obama would give up the presidency in exchange for being the NBA Commissioner or President of the NCAA sports organization. He would probably be good at it, at least, he would get the celebrity status he wants. The U. S. Presidency is to important for him to use to get his celebrity status fix. What do some others think?

How nice!

Obama has another play date to watch a basketball game.

I’m su pleased that Obama has the time for this while our country is sinking lower in the toilet.

Let him stay on the BB court or in the stands everyday and not in the WH.
Would do the nation a world of good! Now get to work on that jump shot Barry and practice every and all day long.

I think if I see the camera pan him one more time, my TV is going to receive serious damage.

Was he packing heat, in case the Wizards players started shooting at each other?

Obama went onto the court to talk with the players. It was easy to pick out Obama-—he was the shortest.

Dear Leader is a six year-old in a man’s body. He’d screw up the NBA, NCAA, BCS, whatever else he touched. But yes, he does love his sports.

I think it’s great that a foreigner likes a game invented and dominated by Americans.

Have you seen the final family tree yet?? It’s like a matrix.

Will another half-sister or step-brother once removed pop up from somewhere else??

So will mine! Glad there wasn’t anything handy to hit the screen with when I saw him at yet another one. He goofs off more than he works, it would seem. It says a LOT about Him, when so many poor people are in such dire straits financially, many living in tents, etc. He doesn’t appear to give a “Tinker’s damn” either.
