While she is a bona fide star in the WNBA, controversy comes with life as a star for Caitlin Clark. Former U.S. President Barack Obama made sure to let the Indiana Fever star know she was doing a great job and not to "let all this nonsense get you down."

The Fever had a difficult start to the season, but have recently picked it up and lead the East with a 17-10 record.

Situations both on and off the court have wiggled their way into Clark's life as a star, and she's been forced to deal with more than anticipated.

Here's what the former U.S. president said to the three-time WNBA All-Star.

What did Barack Obama say to Caitlin Clark?

While Clark was gearing up for the weekend after receiving her third straight All-Star nod, Obama spotted her off to the side of her practice at the Obama Presidential Center and walked toward her for an embrace and chat. The cameras were rolling, and they were able to capture the encounter between the former U.S. president and Clark.

That was mighty white of him.

Speaking as he does for the homosexuals of the world.

I am a bit surprised by this Osama Obama action.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Do I hear the sound of butting in? It's got to be little Barack Obama, America's answer to a QUESTION NO ONE ASKED!

[Dr. Sivana]

I am a bit surprised by this Osama Obama action.

It's the smart play. She's still on the liberal plantation, and he doesn't want her to be a martyr.

[MinorityRepublican]

She's still on the liberal plantation

You'll think she'll wake up by now.

Nope!

[Fungi]

Shut up Obozo and pay the contractors for the giant trash can they built in Chicago.

You win the thread 🏆🏆🏆

I trust NOTHING from Obama

[Equine1952]

If they had added more windows, it would look like a burn cage.

(What did Barack Obama say to Caitlin Clark?)

“Here’s a CD of 25 of my greatest speeches”

[Carry_Okie]

Barry wants to hit it.

[God luvs America]

the nonsense he is responsible for??

[Texas Eagle]

She’s out of your league, Barry. Besides, she likes men.

[albie]

“ She’s still on the liberal plantation

…that’s too bad. Changes my opinion of her by 180 degrees.

[toddausauras]

You hate the white half of yourself azzhole. We’re not fooled.

[Vision]

Getting attacked in not nonsense. And Obama is to blame for “chickens coming home to roost.”

[CivilWarBrewing]

Leftist Clark is 100% complicit in the attacks on herself. Much of it (LIKE SOCCER) is PLAY-ACTING and she is proud to do all she can to promote white surrender to her black overlords.

Sounds crazy, but BET ON IT.

[Third Person]

that’s the Stanley Ann in him

[maddog55]

Probably the white half of the mulatto POS.
