    The question occurred to me after hearing Carly Fiorino, McCain Advisor and former Hewlett Packard CEO, saying she didn't think Palin was qualified to run HP.

    I'm jcurious as to whether you'd have more confidence in McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden to do Daryl Morey's job. How do you think each of the President/VP combo would do if given the task of running this team?

    (I wasn't sure where to put this thing... but since I'm asking it for amusement purpose only, it's here in Hangout.)

    Come on man. Obama's going to put a freakin' basketball court in the White House! Other sports might be debatable but you've got to pick Obama for this one.

    I'm sorry but McCain is too old to even watch basketball. He'd be confused and try and trade Yao because he thinks we're at war with the Chinese.

    Worst thread ever. Seriously. Obama is going to remove the White house bowling alley to put in a basketball court. Who do you think will win this poll? LOL.

    this needs to be a public poll so we can openly and freely ridicule those who voted for mccain/palin.

    BTW- Obama/Biden would have the team's doctor reshuffled into a catalog of doctors, and the government would decide who treated the injuries based on zip codes and income.

    And...












































    Wrong forum.

    No one has ever trusted Obama to lead anything -- he's never done it.

    Morey is probably a conservative, for what it's worth.

    It wouldn't necessarily be the wrong forum if it wasn't being overly politicized.

    CD was a Baylor man, as was Dennis Lindsey... so I'd guess birds of a feather...


    Who's the last GM to win a trophy in Houston?

    That's like saying that posting a thread about VY is okay in the Houston Sports forum because he's from Houston.

    It's a political question.


    Right. You make a "quote" that is slam of a "claim"... then say it's for amusement.

    D&D material.
