It's Barkley for three!
Days in jail, that is.
TNT studio analyst and former Dream Teamer Charles Barkley reported to an outdoor "Tent City" jail in Arizona Saturday to serve his three-day sentence for drunken driving.
"You come here when you screw up," Barkley said at a bizarre news conference hours after he arrived at the jail. "I don't blame anybody for this situation but myself."
The loquacious hoops legend went on to blast critics of President Obama, saying "Rush Limbaugh and a lot of jackasses are giving him a hard time right now."

I will agree with that.
SAVAGE: What do you do?
BARKLEY: What do I do? I work for CNN and TNT. That's what I do. What do you do?
Since when is it three days? The best he could hope for on a first time offense is 5 days of jail time and counseling. Now if he is doing three days this time and two days later on that is believable.
Charles does a decent job as a basketball analyst. He should stick to that and stay out of politics.
Drunks for Obama
Ahh nevermind I found this explaining how he got such a term:

Race trumps all for some people....maybe Charles is one of those people.
God is giveing us a look at them.Barkley is one of them.
Same thing happened in Europe, 1920s and 1930s.
There are precious few blacks who aren’t racists...
One is more likely to find non racist blacks among prior military who served together in action, and in their families. Colin Powell being a notable exception.
The other most likely place to find non racist blacks is among the self sufficient rural countryside - far away from the multi-generational welfare dependent broodmare city dwelling tribes...
I’m always amazed at the differences on those occasions I return “home” to visit family or old Corps brothers in the “outback” areas of Northern Virgina, Western Maryland and on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay... The folks living there, side by side - of all hues - are of another breed than those shown on television....
Question: Would Charles Barkley have said this statement at all if Obama wasn’t black?
Honestly.
Barkley should stick to what he knows...Booze, Basketball & Bimbos. LOL
“What does that make Barkley?”
a friend of a Racist Con Man.
Read my lips(dipstick) you are an idiot.
They also have a history of ignoring the fact that MLK was a REPUBLICAN.
and you Charles Barkley are an ill mannered lout.
What does that make Barkley?”
A total racist—and a stupid drunk one at that.
Charles apparently would have voted for a cadaver—if it had been black.
