    [​IMG]
    The presidency of Barack Obama is entering the final year and he was asked if he would have interest in being part of an ownership group of an NBA team.

    "Absolutely," said Obama.

    Obama closely follows the NBA and is a fan of the Chicago Bulls.

    "Well, you know, I know [Jerry] Reinsdorf pretty good—he’s not giving that thing up anytime soon. But I have fantasized about being able to put together a team and how much fun that would be. I think it’d be terrific.

    The lack of being able to spell destroys that argument. Lol

    Well, if he was our GM he'd certainly try to get Dame to redistribute some of his contract, you know, pay his fair share! PattyC needs a living NBA wage!

    How does a SlyPokerdog hold a bat without any thumbs? Even the easy swings must be difficult?

    Maybe rather than jumping straight into being a GM he should be a coach first. Houston has an opening.

    Hahaha!

    I'm not sure he'd be very popular around them there parts. Maybe he should wait for an opening in Chicago.

    Although some might argue that he is a better actor.
