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.

The others were making the side look bad.

Never mind why -- Obama gets credit for doing the right thing at a time when it really counts.

Odd that he would do the virtue signaling like that. Politicians only lie like that if they have a benefit coming.

He never cared about a white person in his life.

Barack will use any incident or any person, just to keep his name trending another week, or so he hopes.
Then, he will issue a faux complaint that “people just don’t leave him alone, even now!”

Much more to the point would be, “Hey, all you bull dykes, this is basketball, not rugby! Show some respect for the one lady who’s putting food on your table and a roof over your head.”

Typical of that punk. Excusing the racist attacks on a white person by his fellow troop mates.

She doesn’t need encouragement so much as certain other folks need discouragement, near as I can figure.

Re: "Caitlin Clark"

Most people do not understand that she is Politically Woke, and has been since college.

I feel bad for her, but she rejects Conservative values, so, good luck, and Bye Bye.

Jessie Jackson was right to call him an “Oreo”.

Is she sacrificing herself to the black sisterhood for the greater good then? Is THAT why she isn’t calling them out as racists?
