Yes We Can vs No You Can't

This is what victory looks like...




And here is defeat....

"Are Your Knees Too Creaky Clark?"

President Obama attended Georgetown's bitch slapping of Duke on Saturday afternoon at the Verizon Center. The President held his own during an in game interview with CBS announcing team Clark Kellogg and Verne Lundquist. My favorite part was Obama buttering up Kellogg with praise and then immediately talking trash. Check out the classic off the cuff stuff from Prez #44.

United We Serve

Throwing the football around with NFL stars Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, and Troy Polamalu along with President Obama on the South Lawn is pretty damn cool.



The Prez even grabs a smooth pick from Brees and he should have bowed afterwards in celebration just to set Fox News into a frenzy.


Did you FEEL the exercise indoctrination of the children?

No Shocker Diploma Love for Barry O

Arizona State University, one of the top party and poon meccas in the US, ignited a controversy by not giving an honorary degree to Commencement speaker, President Barack Obama. The school otherwise known as "Always Stripping University" and once mocked on the Simpsons as a diploma factory by Ned Flanders would not give the silly token gesture to Obama because he had not accomplishment enough yet. Fair enough and Cue a hilarious Daily Show segment:

Prez O took the subject head on by breaking out his classic typical mocking humor during his speech at ASU.



All Obama needed to do was flash the Sundevils trademark shocker, err, pitchfork sign. Saturday Night Live piled on ASU's petty decision with this funny "Really" skit.

Happy St Patty's Day!

My buddy, the Notorious DEK, hooked me up with some mad funny to begin "everyone wants to be drunk like us" Irish Day.
The White House represented their Chitown roots by dying the fountains green like the Chicago river.






The Administration decided to use March 17th to officially announce their new Irish diplomatic gig.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday selected Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney to be U.S. ambassador to Ireland, turning to a lifelong Republican who provided the Democrat critical campaign support during the White House race.

It is a perfect time to roll with this photo.

I love the Irish.

Bulls visit the White House

The Chicago Bulls are in town facing the Wizards (Plenty of Seats still Available!) so President Obama invited the Bulls for a White House visit. 

Derrick Rose was impressed with Barry the Baller:

'It was a great experience,'' Bulls rookie point guard Derrick Rose said. ''Usually, you're nervous around a person of his stature and power, but he made us feel at ease. He was like one of the guys. He was laughing and joking with us and knew everybody on the team by name.

The 26-32 and constantly underachieving Bulls get a WH visit? Come on now.  Using this logic, the winless 13 year old boys basketball team that I coach should have an official ceremony. 

Alright, I better get in on these WH pick up games.

David Axelrod, the president's senior adviser, was a longtime Bulls season ticket holder and also attended the visit.

''The president chatted with the players and said he was converting the tennis court out back here into a basketball court,'' Axelrod said. ''He invited them to come and play pickup with him in the summer.

As a six foot aging white guy with no hops, I want no part of the games with the Bulls. However, I will toss some mad elbows around and blast some out of shape White House staffers with crushing picks. 

Reggie Love does not scare me either.  I know Rahmbo could use some smacking around after his recent New Yorker fellatio by Ryan Lizza. 

Due to Obama's White Sox fandom, Ozzie Guillen and club are destined to score an Oval Office visit this summer. Those Guillen quotes should be outstanding. 

Oh, Dick Vitale, I glossed Obama with a dope basketball nickname over a year ago: Barry the Baller.  Mine is much cooler slang than Commander in Swish.

Barry O's Thoughts on his Daughters Snow Day

From Washington City Paper:

“Can I make a comment that is unrelated to the economy very quickly?” Obama asked at a morning economic briefing. “It has to do with Washington. My children’s school was canceled today. Because of what—some ice? As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled.”

Obama went on to suggest that D.C. would do well to emulate “flinty Chicago toughness.”

“I’m saying when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don’t seem to be able to handle things,” he concluded.

To be fair, almost every school in the DC area, including all of the VA and MD burbs were canceled except for the DC public schools. Also, the ice was pretty nasty to walk around in this morning but I share in some of the Presidents weather amazement as I have long been amused at the DC media freak out over a few inches of snow accumulation.
