Obama's 'got game,' and competition

The White House should invite Joe "the heckler" Wilson to play and then use him as a blocking dummy.

I volunteer to be the first one to commit a hard foul on that Wingnut goon Shimkus.

Steaming,

Wrong sport moron.

It's great to see the president play games while the dollar just slid 11% in the past six months, unemployment at 10%, teenage unemployment at 45%, mortgage forclosures still going up,too few troops in Afghanistan...yep, watch our leader play games.

Obama got game?

Who'd have guessed that?

Other than Hillary and McCain..

And of course Jack Ryan, Blair Hull, Dan Hynes, Alan Keyes......

The list keeps growing......

I can hear the fashion police cries now...why is he showing his legs? It's totally inappropriate for a president to drees so casually. There is a reason they make basketball suits.

(Tribune, in deciding whether or not to post this, refer to the post you allowed on October 7, 2009 8:25 PM, same comment, only the name has been changed.)

i think Donna Shalala should also be invited to play as center.

" David ", grow up !! Don't you have better things to do, than to post silly statements ? !! Try to read the Healthcare Reform Bill. You may learn a thing or two !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Hold your friends close. Hold your enemies closser.

It's a sad reflection on the current state of the Republican party that there was only one person young enough, vigorous enough and coordinated enough to make the team.

Ummm if it's Lefty Loony Diatribe . . . you know it's not the Real Bobbie Mobbie . . .

Is Marky upset because he's not invited? Mark is a real baller in every sense of the word so why not be included in this Obama love fest.

BRING TRANSPARENCY TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS NOW! TRUTHFUL AND WHOLE!

talk about silly statements there donny boy!

Does this guy ever work?!!!

They should invite Joe Wilson to play. Then, when he calls a foul on Geithner for hacking, the President can say "You Lie!"

Beer summits, shooting hoops, visiting the IOC to give one of the worst olypmic presentations ever. You'd think that Obama's job as president is to just have fun and not actually fix the economy, win the war in Afghanistan, or actually DO SOMETHING in office. If you think beer summits and basketball games will change anything in this country you live in the same fantasy world as Obama and his enablers at the swamp.

Does this guy ever work?! A good Republican would be hitting the country club with top business exectuives to get us out of this economic mess, or vacationing back at his ranch to ensure he is well rested to fight evil.

Dear Jeff and Paulo:

For all your complaining about Obama supposedly "loafing off" and not getting to the business of the country, how quickly you forget the weeks Bush spent on his ranch clearing brush and generally letting the country wheel around like the Flying Dutchman. Give us a break.

Hope Obama dunks one in this scumbags face. Probably nothing finer than watching the dunked basketball bounce off of the face of a retarded Republican underneath you.

yes this is finally the proof we have been waiting for, obama is a slacker because he is playing a basketball game. nevermind that bush took the most time off than any other president in the history of presidents. and i am sure the game isn't a ways to try to get bipartisan support and ease the tensions between the two parties so that maybe something can actually get done. i prefer both sides hating each other so much that nothing gets done to help the people of this country.

"There are a few killers who want to stop the peace process that we have started, and we must not let them. I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive".

-GW Bush 2002

Can this really be described as bi-partisan when there are 9 Dem congressman, 4 members of the President's cabinet, and only 2 Rep's?

We'll try this again for the Gestapo Trib Censors and apparently Mark Silva's hurt feelings regarding being challenged again.
Mark, rather than another puff piece on Obama, when will we see something from you, the Swamp or even the Tribune on:
1. Charles Rangell's continuing ethical problems, his scandals and the fact that the Democrats will not remove him the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee?
2. When will we see something on the undermining by the White House of Generals Petraeus (releasing his prostate cancer problems) and McChrystal?
3. Or the Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings, who it seems is a proponent of NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, which enables adults and how they can have sex with little boys and has literature that even why it's OK to have oral sex with 18-MONTH-OLD babies?
4. Speaking of czars, what about Far Left Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold taking on the Obama administration over its czars, skirting Congress and not sending anyone to testify at his hearing on the matter?
5. And why are you and the Marxist Censors at the Tribune so darn afraid of the truth and challenges? Or tell me what above is not accurate?

Notice who WASN'T invited?

Women.

Obama's is a guys-only event. Which is ok by me, however it looks a little hypocritical coming from a politician who claims he's "Mr. Inclusion."

yeah, GOP first----

does President ever work?

Just ask your failed candidates McCain and Palin whether he works.

Or ask Bill/Hill Clinton.

On second thought, don't ask.

Just keep deluding yourself with your own propaganda that he's "an empty suit".

It'll be easier that way to take you down again next year.

Do you honestly think a Republican who wanted in on the intramural basketball game would be denied? Methinks they're not basketball players...their kind of sport usually involves shooting defenseless animals.

Such a thoughtful and warming statement. the love is just oozing out of this persons pours!

And the constant comparisons to Bush?? you'd think the current president needs a little help to keep up.

Or a good Democrat would be hanging onto his gin martini in onehand collecting campaign cash in the other at a San Francisco fundraiser talking about those dumb folks clinging to their religion and guns acrosss the country. More arugala please! you don't know what arugala is? what a moron!

While Obama screws off on the basketball court, troops are dying because of his indecision and incompetence. Obama is a disgrace. This narcissistic fool has to got to go. It begins with the 2010 elections.

Let me see, visiting an ill grandmother - bad (Check)

Going on a date with his wife - bad (Check)

Trying to win the hosting of a major international event for the US - bad (Check)

Playing a TEAM sport - bad (Check)

So, now the Republicans have anti family, anti marriage, anti-US, and anti fitness messages attributed to them. What's next for the Failure First crowd, criticizing him for wearing shoes?

What a joke - another tax payer photo op for Barry the messiah.

...troops are dying...

Another armchair General from the Keyboard Battallion. How do you kill a troop?

I think a lot of the people criticizing how Obama spends his time should check the vacation record of the last president.

I LOVE that! Thanks for the chuckle and a great line. It goes well with "Right Trash".

From that photo it appears that the Pres still has hops!

"It's great to see the president play games while the dollar just slid 11% in the past six months, unemployment at 10%" What a bonehead comment. What is any president going to do about the dollar slide after working hours? Besides, the weak dollar makes our goods more attractive overseas. Unemployment is at 9.8% and long ago was forecast to go over 10% next year. But don't let the fact that GDP is in better shape and we have over 1 million LESS unemployed because of the president's stimulus program-which according to leading Republicans, is working. Finally Paulo Pablum, the S&P 500 is up 33% since inauguration day. The prez can have his basketball game while you sit at home having a brain f*rt.

But seriously,

forget BBall.

Think :

Old School.

As in:

Character.

Whether he's conscious of it or not, Obama came by it from those Grandparents who, for some significant time, raised him.

They survived the Depression and WW II.

In the Character department, he is their child and a child of the Depression.

You remember--

The Greatest Generation.

Postscript:

Nobel Committee concurs in my opinion.

I believe it's racist to show Obama playing roundball at the WH. It's perpetuating an obvious stereotype, possibly photo-shopped.

Everything's Racist:

You should know.
