Obama Challenging LeBron James To Go One-On-One @ The White House

It’s not much of a contest; on paper, at least. A 6-foot, 2-inch, 180-pound, 47-year-old amateur against a 6-foot, 8-inch, 250-pound, 24-year-old pro who won the National Basketball Association’s Most-Valuable Player award this year. Except the amateur will have home-court advantage: the South Lawn of the White House.

In an interview with Bloomberg News this week, President Barack Obama said he would soon invoke executive privilege to summon the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James and possibly other NBA stars to the White House to shoot some hoops. “As soon as we get the basketball nets up we’re going to have some of these guys over for a game,” Obama said. Asked if he’d be playing, Obama bristled: “Of course. It’s my court.” James paid a visit to the White House on June 15. Obama said he was awed by both the size and skills of the man who averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists this season in helping take his team to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

“When you get up close to him he’s a legitimate six- eight, six-nine. He’s huge. Moving that kind of speed? It’s pretty remarkable,” Obama said. Miami Heat Guard Dwyane Wade visited the White House yesterday to promote a Father’s Day mentoring program.


For all James’ prowess, he may need to break a sweat when he takes on Obama. The president is the most active athlete to occupy the White House in recent memory, and he will soon make history as the first to have his own court. The venue will be the White House tennis court, shrouded in pine trees on the South Lawn, which is being repurposed as a home for the new one-man Team USA. Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman, said work is currently under way on the project. Basketball lines are being painted on the tennis court and removable basketball hoops are being installed. Ann Smith, the White House liaison for the National Park Service who is in charge of the maintenance of White House grounds, said it cost $4,995 to clean and “restripe,” or paint fresh lines on the court and an “incidental” fee to cover the poles holding up the tennis net. Earnest wouldn’t comment on the cost of the hoops.
Obama, a lifelong player, even found time for pick-up games in the midst of a grueling campaign. In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams on June 2, he said he has played “a couple of times” since taking office in January. “For an old guy,” he said, “I’m hanging in there.”

“Basketball is a game where you have to bump into other people,” said Claude Johnson, 49, whose blog “Baller-in- Chief.com” links to articles about the president and his love of the game. Johnson said reaction to the site has been “explosive.” Though an average player in high school, Obama had a solid longshot, earning him the nickname “Barry O- Bomber,” he said. Johnson said basketball has helped Obama connect to young people and has shaped his character.
“The world is analogous to a pick-up game of basketball,” Johnson said. “Since you never know whose side you’re going to be on the next time around, you’re not interested in destroying teammates.” There is no shortage of people who want to watch the president play. A “Barack O-Balla” posting on YouTube, which strings together clips of Obama playing basketball to a rap soundtrack, has gotten more than 400,000 hits.

See, I was always under the impression that you had to win the championship to meet the president. My fault, huh? How'd I get that crazy notion in my head?

Blantantly Wrong

This is crazy. And by crazy I don't necessarily mean racist but crazy in the literal sense. You just know the dude who did this knew what the inference was going to be when he cooked up this nonsense. He knew it wouldn't end wel--that is couldn't end welll. He couldn't have been this oblivious to the racial components. No way did this guy not see the "Obama Waffles" or hear the "Barack The Magic Negro" song and not know that this was a new day and that kind of junk wouldn't just fly under the radar. Or maybe, and this is what I'm thinking, this guy knew and just plain didn't care. He figured publicity bad or good was all good publicity--and free at that and in these times of economic hardship why break out dead presidents to attract the masses in commercials when you can use live presidents as a vehicle to bring the public, free of charge, to your eatery? People shouldn't even give this guy any business. To go there only rewards an idiot for being an idiot and I'm not in the business of throwing bones to dogs for barking and sniffing crotches--you know dog stuff. No, to earn something you have to do something and going all "Obama Fried Chicken" is just the easiest quickest route to public lore. Doesn't mean the product is any good. In fact I'd bet you the shirt off my back the food probably sucks.

Now I know that this country did more on November 4th than just electing a black man it set in motion a signal that we might be ready to have a new more mature conversation on race and that's fine. I'm willing to do that. I'm willing to be an adult and make concessions that we as a people should probably be a little less defensive because this is a decent country and we're making improvements and 2008 does prove a point but each time we take a step forward some idiot stands up and does something like this and makes us more vigilant and appeals to our lesser impulses. This is one of those times. Now I'm going to surprise you this time and not make a big deal about this because I refuse to big up this talentless hack trying to make a quick buck off the shock value of black people and consciousness of others outside of our community. But this isn't about this one guy. He's just a microcosm of all the other "Obama Fried Chickens" currently in business and all the future OFC's to come. We need to reject these morons and respond to them in a way that we haven't before we had a person of color in the white house. Not to see where it gets us but where it gets them. Ignore them and their products. It's the easiest yet most effective way to eradicate this and we all can do it if we submit to conformity for a righteous outcome. He isn't the first and he won't be the last but this needs to be a new way of responding to old trip lines. Just consider it though

"Dear President Obama": The President Reads 10 Letters a Day from the Public, With Policy Ramifications

The letter to President Obama came from a woman in Arizona whose husband lost his job. He was able to find work, but the new gig came with one-third the pay; the family is struggling to make their mortgage payments.

The letter from the Arizona woman illustrated a policy conundrum, recalled senior adviser David Axelrod. President Obama read it, and absorbed the lesson.

"She said they had made all their mortgage payments, but were running out of money," Axelrod said. "And they were told they could not renegotiate unless they were delinquent in their payments."

Before President Obama's housing speech last week, he'd made copies of his letter and "sent it to his financial team and said, 'This is the kind of person our housing plan should help," Axelrod recalled.

The president had other copies made of that letter. He had it distributed to staff on Air Force One.

"He had been struck by how powerful the story was," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "He wanted us as we were creating policy to make sure that we were listening and hearing these examples as well."

Every day President Barack Obama is handed a special purple folder. The folder contains ten letters, and every day President Obama takes time to read them.

Are they from world leaders? From members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Members of the intelligence community?

No, these letters have been culled from the thousands the White House Correspondence Office receives each day from Americans who have taken the time to sit down and write to their president.

"They help him focus on the real problems people are facing," says Axelrod. "He really a absorbs these letters, and often shares then with us."

In his first week in office, President Obama requested that he see 10 letters a day "representative of people's concerns, from people writing into the president," recalls Gibbs, "to help get him outside of the bubble, to get more than just the information you get as an elected official."

Says Axelrod, "he did it because his greatest concern is getting isolated in the White House, away from the experiences of the American people...The letters impact him greatly."

Some recent examples, according to aides, include a letter from a businessman who owns a manufacturing company and says he finds it very difficult to lay off employees who have done nothing wrong. If things don't improve, the correspondent wrote, he'll have to lay off 10% of his workforce.

Another letter came from a divorced senior citizen raising a grandchild on a fixed income, including Social Security. She confessed to being depressed and scared.

A third came from a realtor who urged the president to do something about the large number of foreclosed properties. A fourth was a plea for help from an unemployed truck driver.

Monday through Friday the head of White House Correspondence delivers ten letters to be read by the President, choosing among letters that are broadly representative of the day’s news and issues; ones that are broadly representative of President’s intake of current mail, phone calls to the comment line, and faxes from citizens; and messages that are particularly compelling.

Some of these, maybe two or three each day, the President responds to in his own hand.

Gibbs says that before two different economic speeches, the President "pulled letters he has gotten and distributed them to staff, to understand what people were going through."

The vast majority of the calls coming into the White House, and over a third of the faxes have been on the stimulus package and the economy, so up to half of the letters the President sees are on that broad subject. Aides say that many of these correspondents also have other complications: bankruptcy due to health care, lost job, lost opportunities for their children.

A smaller number of the letters address other issues, such as the environment, health care, education, foreign affairs, or nuclear proliferation.

And a handful, usually no more than five a week, are from people who have a simple supportive message or inspirational story to tell.

The head of correspondence also includes letters to the President from smaller children who ask questions or give advice.

Barack Obama Trash Talking During The Audio Reading Of His Book

This is absolutely hilarious. I've always wondered what it would sound like if I heard the President use the n-word. Now I'm not naive enough to think that NO president has ever used the n-word before. I'm pretty sure W has, Reagan definitely has as his policies were made solely to make life difficult as possible for black people, Nixon might have used the n-word, not sure and then probably everybody else before that (including Lincoln) but to hear an actual black president use the word and nto be offended after hearing it is in truth pretty cool. LOL. This just made my year and it's only February. I thought maybe Barack would sound funny usuing the word and I was wrong. He sounds like an everyday black guy like myself when he uses it. Why I would think it would sound otherwise, I don't know. Keep in mind that this was said in a context of him reading the dialogue of one of his friends talking to him. Just so people don't think Barack is walking around the White House and abusing power and kicking it like Alonzo from Training Day. Even still this is enjoyable to hear. The internet is a wonderous place though. Truly.

Pastor Manning On CBS News talking About Obama

Why is this modern day sambo being allowed on mainstream news? This is absolutely terrible. Yeah there may be ratings to be gained but at what cost? This isn't just an alternative view over policy or ideology this is lunacy. Caligula styled even. New York needs to step up their game letting this lapdog get by.

Bill O'Reilly Reporting On The Jay-Z/Young Jeezy Video From Below

I know I said I'd stop with the President Obama commentary but this video is just an a necessary update of an earlier post (Jay-Z "My President Is Black"). This time a perspective on the performance from a conservative turd like Bill O'Reilly whose opinions don't even really matter any more as the election proved America isn't with him and FOX News anymore but for entertainment purposes deserves to be seen.

P.S Plus if you absolutely must watch something that channel puts on air now during the Obama presidency, make sure you watch it online and deprive these jerks of the ratings. Don't feed the beast.

Now I urge you all to enjoy.

Rare Footage: MLK Predicting President Barack Obama's Presidency (1968)

Certainly not dead on by any means but his foresight was generally within range of how the events that followed occurred. Perhaps General Colin Powell could have brought his vision to fruition in the nineties.

I won't flood the blog with too many more President Obama posts because it's not like everybody isn't already following this closely enough without me and every other talking head out there only further drumming readers over the head with their stories and tidbits and opinions. You know how I feel and you know my sense of pride. Let's honor the day by looking and moving forward getting back to optimizing our own usefulness.

Jay - Z "My President Is Black"

Barack Obama 'Man Of The People' At Some Restaraunt In D.C

LOL @ "Nah, we straight"

WASHINGTON – What does the president-elect order on his first Saturday afternoon since moving into town? A chili dog and cheese fries.

Barack Obama dropped in Saturday afternoon for a bite to eat with Washington's mayor, Adrian Fenty, at Ben's Chili Bowl, the venerable diner in Washington's U Street district.

Obama said it was his first time visiting Ben's Chili Bowl and "it was terrific." The expectation is that Obama — already at ease in big cities from his time in Chicago — will venture into town more than President George W. Bush, who rarely made forays into unofficial Washington.

After Obama's motorcade wandered through the U street district, passing the African-American Civil War Memorial and a flee market selling shirts that bear his face, he and Fenty surprised the restaurant around lunchtime. Patrons shrieked with delight and surprise as they saw his face. A mother blushed as Obama held her baby in his arms. The president-elect and the mayor moved slowly through the restaurant's crowded rooms, shaking hands and getting pictures taken with patrons.

Still, they came there to eat. "Where the food at?" he finally asked the counter staff, drawing laughs from them and nearby patrons.

He and Fenty ordered a house specialty, a Chili Half-Smoke — a quarter-pound half pork and beef smoked sausage on a steamed bun with mustard, onions and chili sauce — along with a big helping of some cheese fries.

They found a small table. They had the popular food. They even chatted it up with nearby customers at their tables. But something was still missing: the shredded cheese. Obama yelled for some — "not the Velveeta" kind, he said — and it was quickly delivered.

Word must have gotten out he was in the area: After Obama and Fenty had their meal and left the building, dozens of people who had lined up before security barriers cheered him on as walked toward his motorcade.

If he's as smart and wise and personable as I suspect he is, we've got a great four year ahead of us.

The Obama Mobile

While this thing looks less like a Presidential ride than a No Limit Tank I can't say I'm disappointed or mad at seeing the layer of security their decking this ride out with. As Curtis Jackson once said 'Many men, many many many many men, wish death upon me' and you have to know Obama and those close to him know that all too much by now. Still, this car and God's blessings ought to set aside much concern and that makes me sleep better at night. It doesn't look like much to look at but I'm not hating. Do you, Barack.
