Former President Obama wasn’t identified with his typical title as the 44th president of the United States in the first installments of a Michael Jordan docuseries that aired Sunday on ESPN, but rather as a “former Chicago resident.”

A graphic in "The Last Dance" identified Obama as a “former Chicago resident” and another labeled former President Clinton a “former Arkansas governor."

Twitter users were quick to call out the designation as clever and an understatement.

And why were these two clowns consulted in this documentary?

I'd betcha Bammy never attended a Bull's game. We know what slick was doing during the 90s.

I think those captions were deliberate.

Ya think?

He was never eligible under our Constitution.

A person born a British subject/Kenyan national is not a natural born citizen even if born here anymore than the last King of Thailand or Boris Johnson (both born here).

I once saw Michael Jordan as having been quoted,when asked why he never talks politics,as saying "because Republicans buy sneakers too".

Smart answer! Too bad more "celebrities" didn't follow his lead.

Obama was a Chicago resident in the 90s and Clinton was in Arkansas when Pippen was coming up there in college.

Did you see this? It was terrific.

Saw some. Definitely gotta see the whole thing. That was a crazy year for sure. We knew the Bulls were gonna blow up, it was just a question of if they’d win first.

When Bill Clinton was asked, “How is Hillary’s head?”

His reply was, “Well, she is no Monica!”
Disgraceful reprobate.

Well I'm going to go way out on a limb and speculate that Obama's title was because he was merely a fan at the time and that Clinton's title was because he was governor when Pippen was at Central Arkansas. If Trump were interviewed he'd probably be identified as "Knicks Fan" or something like that.

And I agree with the above comments. So far it's a great documentary.

He’s originally from Kenya Africa, he spent a couple of years in Hawaii then he went to Indonesia to practice his Muslim studies in Jakarta under the tutelage of his stepfather, then back to Hawaii for High School... After which he went to university and with the help of affirmative action he went off to Harvard Law... He worked as a ‘community’ activist *i.e. Socialist and with the help of Reverend Wright and other racist entities he weaseled his way into politics... Then they made him President.
