obama should focus on this ed up country
I like Obama but his nonstop sports opinions are kinda his "ranch in Crawford". Shut the up, stop filling our your ty brackets, and stop wasting time courting LeBron. We all know he's going to Dallas.

Obama envisions LeBron with Bulls
By Melissa Isaacson

Include President Obama as another Chicago Bulls fan rooting for LeBron James to move to Chicago.
"He doesn't want to tamper," senior adviser to the president -- and former Bulls season-ticket holder -- David Axelrod said. "But as a Chicago fan, the president thinks LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform."
James, whose Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs Thursday by the Boston Celtics, becomes a free agent on July 1. Many believe he could be headed to the Bulls.
The president, a former U.S. senator from Illinois and state senator from Chicago, never has shied away from his sporting roots. He frequently wears his Chicago White Sox cap; has attended a Washington Wizards victory over the Bulls last season, and also hosted the Bulls on a tour of the White House.
And Obama just couldn't resist slipping in some trash talk when the Los Angeles Lakers visited the White House following their 2008-09 NBA le.
"I'm especially excited to meet Coach Phil Jackson, the 'Zen Master,' " Obama said. "I've been a fan of Coach Jackson's ever since his days running the triangle offense in Chicago. I want to congratulate him on his 10th NBA le, the most in history, but I do want to point out that six of them came with the Bulls."
Later, Obama playfully taunted Magic Johnson as he re-enacted Michael Jordan's "spectacular move" from Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals when Jordan, in mid-air, switched the ball from right to left hand before laying it in.
"[The Lakers] won the first game, so they were feeling y ... [John] Paxson was hitting all those shots ..." Obama said.
Obama also filmed a video tribute to Johnny "Red" Kerr for the beloved Bulls announcer's retirement ceremony in February of 2009. Kerr, who died of cancer just 16 days later, cherished the moment.
"Back at the house, we had TiVo'd it and Dad was watching it smiling, watching the tribute from the president," said Johnny's son, Matt. "I said, 'Pretty cool,' and Dad looks at the TV and says, 'Thanks, O.' "

+1 that's great Obama now do something about the worst recession since the 1930's.
Lebron to big D together he and dirk will d-boogie all over the rest of the league on their way to 2 or 3 rings..make it happen Cubes..under mayor James Dallas will change it's name to "New Dallas" and become Hollywood 2.0
I mean think about it..Lebron motha in James..Jerry motha in Jones..jerryworld stadium..mark motha in cuban..huge market that's relatively unaffected by the recession..BIG PARTY IN BIG D FOR YEARS TO COME!!!![]()
He's the POTUS. I don't see how that's not tampering. Enjoy your next five drafts without any picks Chicago.
To his credit, he has more basketball experience than political experience.
He should also stop breathing, eating and taking dumps. I'm sure you guys don't waste any precious calories of your own chewin!
Somebody move Obama's jaw for him. Jesus go work his jaw so he can concentrate on the economy.
Sup blake dynasty, will you also be partying in big D after the finals celebration?
DoK bashing Obama. Of course he's from Arizona. Classless.
Kiss of death.
Just assume Chicago is out of the race for LeBron. Geez, Obama is a slow learner.
Here, I have a little test for you. Which do you think is correct?
Estimates are that the percentage of Arizona residents that approve of the new bill is:
A. 25%
B. 5%
C. 45%
D. 70%
Hint: It's the highest one.
he needs to stfu with all the sports opinions. getting pretty ing annoying.
A little below the percentage of American residents that approve the bill then.
typical utsa liberal teachings
Do you live in Boston, or the North East in general? If you do, than I couldn't care less what you think about the border.
why would I party in Dallas after the finals celebration?
why would you party in Dallas after the finals celebration?
LeBron will either stay with the Cavs or go to the Bulls. That's it.
im talking about after the 2011 finals when dirk and lebron win their first of 3 rings together..you'll be here wont you scrah? just like the cowboys, everyone was a cowboy fan back then.
It's disgusting that 70% of Arizonans support that bill. What's funny is that Mex knows I'm a liberal who voted for Obama.
The Mavs will NEVER win a
NEVER!!!
