    No, not the dead president, which I know is the first thing many of you thought about, but one LeBron James.

    (By the way, politics aside, I like it that the President is a hoops junkie, though I'm getting sick of the LeBron stuff hitting me from everywhere.)

    If he can keep Lebron out of New York, that just might buy my vote for 2012.

    Obama needs to STFU and focus on running the country, and not meddle in sports affairs. He can start with repealing that god awful health care bill.

    Saw on CNN where they were saying this could hurt him with Ohio voters. I figure he's a big enough hoops fan that he probably considered that, but decded "F--k it, I'd rather have LeBron."

    lol people always say these things when the president talks about basketball. It's a lot like clutchfans on T-Mac's offseason training. :grin:

    This is bad omen for the Bulls. The last time Obama pushed for a certain sport thing to be in Chicago, he failed.

    That Prick sleeps, too!

    Well Ohio is typically a swing state, it has won many elections in the past. If LBJ leaves, I think the state turns Red.

    I know. He could have solved all the country's problems if he hadn't done that two minute interview.

    Yeah what's he thinking. IL is solidly blue but Ohio is pretty purple. I know he's a Bulls fan and all but why is he making it harder on himself. And yes most Americans are stupid enough to vote on sports issues.

    Take it to the D&D so your arguments (and I suspect they are awful) can be addressed.
