The White House said Friday that President Obama’s visit to Nike headquarters in Oregon next week is unrelated to the company’s $50 million contribution to first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign for kids.

Asked whether Nike’s generosity was behind the White House’s selection of the company for a presidential visit, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said “not that I’m aware of.” He said the president will visit the company to talk about free trade.

Holy Shiite, looks like the obamas are trying to out-grift the Clinton Crime Family.

I would say Obama is full of bullsh$t, but that would be an insult to bullsh$t.

[Fungi]

I would agree but do not tell anyone.

[doc1019]

I shant reveal our secret.

I knew there was a reason I wouldn’t buy their stinking shoes.

Great! Soros' pet dimwit is coming to town.

Now, traffic is going to be screwed up even more than usual in Portland! I wonder if Hillsboro airport is long enough to let the Bribery Express land? I'm going to hide until he's gone.

i figured I should gather some tomatoes and let them get nice and juicy. Only problem is I'd end up in the unemployment line...not to mention a jail cell.

I do think Hillsboro is long enough.

Who in their right mind would consider a visit from this ignorant POS a “favor”? Oh wait... Nike is run by mindless liberal morons, never mind.

FU NIKE, buy New Balance.

“Let’s move” is often yelled at the 10 year olds who make Nike shoes.

[LegendHasIt]

I don’t suppose the 0bamas would care to visit the factories in China and Vietnam where near slaves make the shoes for Nike for a few cents an hour.

I doubt the workers there would be stuffing cash into 0bamaPockets.

Oh no...he’s coming to Oregon? Wonder if our openly bisexual Guv will meet him.....aAGGGGGHHHHH....so glad we don’t live in Portland

If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.

I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.

I was just going to pose the question, “Are you ready in Portland?” LOL!

What a mess.
