Yeah Yeah, whatever. You just watch, Shaq says now that the Celtics is the best team he’s ever played on. Just wait and see what happens if you guys struggle, he will sit his ass down on “Company time” just like he did here

Like we really need that photo-op bullcrap right now? There is an economy to fix, missiles piling up in Venezuela pointed at us, uranium spinning like a million jihadi owned maytags stuck on spin cycle, two wars to run, a narco terrorist state spilling corpses into our laps at the border, documents leaking from clandestine websites like it’s a Kinko’s printshop, North Korea actively bombing South Korea towns, North Korea sinking navy vessels, and missile contrails streaming from god knows what off our coastline, AND OBAMA PLAYS BASKETBALL WITH THE LAKERS FOR SOMETHING TO DO?

Can we get him to meet the Clippers instead? Oh, no, never mind. They’re jinxed enough already.

I thought the headline read “Leakers” and he was getting serious about security. Oh, well, probably better he is off playing on our dime rather than working.

I didn’t know that the Lakers could take the time during the NBA season to be available at a golf course.

Well, if he does not shoot hoops with them, I don't care. If he does though, I still don't care. If it's reported that someone hits his lip again, I won't care much, but I will send the Laker a cigar.

Since he has solved all the nation's problems, handled Iran and North Korea, and gotten us back to full employment, why not knock around with pro athletes?

It’s not a Presidency.

It’s a taxpayer funded never ending Make-a-Wish list.

Obama is going to tell the Lakers that they have too many titles and will have to give up some of them to the Clippers to be fair.

It’s good to see our “fearless fosdic” leader has time to meat with the Lakers, dollars to donuts they’ll have a shoot-around in the White House gym. Meanwhile, Iran continues building nukes, hundreds of Americans are dying in Afghanistan, North Korea with its nuke capability is threatening South Korea, the tax bill is in trouble, gas and oil prices are going throgh the roof, as is unemployment.....and our messiah is hanging with the Lakers.
Oh but wait.....he did sign a 4 1/2 billion dollar give away as reparations for black farmers.
