WOW… the SS Princess is leaving another city & FO & coach in her wake…. Wow. Oh well. They kinda deserve it – considering that their big 3 colluded to get there in the first place…. Meh.
The thing that really cracks me up though, is that speech. I gotta tell ya – that is one HELLUVA piece of good writing. Whoever did that should write for the White House Or maybe work on the next “great American novel” It’s a piece of …. well… let’s be nice and say “art”. I thew up in my mouth a little trying to get through the whole thing. I personally don’t think Bronnie came up with any of that, much less believe more than half of it.
I find myself hoping this all doesn’t turn into a big media circus kinda thing… Although, who am I kidding? It already is… sigh…. and *barf* …. carry on…. (and hi everyone :) )

Hi Justa! I agree that someone wrote it and it was beautifully written but I think a huge part of it is sincere.
Amit? Have you ever seen Springsteen in concert, NBA ? Why?

I haven’t been to many and I caught him in Sydney earlier this year..amazing experience…guy still has the kinda energy most men half his age don’t possess

I’m a fan of his politically and what he does
AK27 11:00 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Well, all I know of his political leanings is that he endorsed Obama the first time around and for his re-election….he was’t too pleased when Reagan used his song “Born in the USA “without permission and distorted it’s meaning…seems like a genuine guy largely dedicated to his craft….gives everything he has in his concerts…they play for as long as 4 hours sometimes….don’t know of many others who do that..

Wasn’t Obama voted the worst president since WWII?

Based on a racist perspective, yeah.

Man, I am no fan of Obama’s but I don’t give any credence to these polls either…besides, it usually ain’t about the man himself but the larger context he is a part of…( subversion of the system by those with power.. the men behind the curtain pulling the strings )

Uh, Caught Bin Laden, ended 2 stinking wars. Stock market is soaring. Inherited the Bush stuff. REPs will do nothing for or with him. Not that bad after all perhaps.

Really, DJ? He’s also known as the ‘drone’ POTUS, and the stock market gains don’t seem to be helping those who need the most help right now in this economy. Ok, I’ll end my political rant right there. :)
NBA4ever 11:26 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Those polls are lame, Reagan actually setting in motion trickle down is the worst imo. I have to agree with Tate that the disapproval is based on racism, ignorance, and propaganda full of fear and hate. The facts are the facts, The drones imo have nothing to do with him or his policies but the other overreaching departments like the CIA and MIC. The stock market gains prove he’s only a socialist for the elite. He’s accomplished a lot, not everything I wish he had but considering the battle with the incompetent obstructionist on the right……
GDUBinDC 11:37 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
But the drone attacks were launched by his order so he can’t escape responsibility, 63. After all, he is the commander-in-chief. I agree that some of the motivation behind the polls numbers r likely racially-motivated, but IMO he has to be held accountable just like any of his predecessors.
Ok, I lied b4, but this will actually be the end of my political commentary for today. :)

Wonder why there is never any credit given to Obama for anything that he has done. Entirely, without the aid of the Republicans, he has put our economy back on track, plus redeemed the housing market from its woes, established affordable health care, given a break to college students and grads with their student loans, working on the veterans affairs issues, pulled us out of two wars, took down OBL, and several other terrorists, reformed the education system with the “Common Core” program, holding teachers/educators more accountable -- and the irony to me is that hid detractors seem oblivious to the fact that to get elected, at least a sizable microcosm of the republicans in America had to vote for him . It wasn’t just the African American population that put him in office, And then, the outrageous bullsh*t promulgated by Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Tea Party members notwithstanding, he turns around and gets re-elected.
All of that shows the sorry mess of a train wreck our country was in that the American people would rather put a black man in the white house, than to swallow any more of the GOP koolade. The first election , against McCain,resulted in the soundest thrashing of a candidate in the history of our country. Then he kicks Mitt Romney’s @ss because the American people see progress and hope.
The saga continues…

tate, I disagree with just about every thing u said there, but I already promised I wouldn’t make any more political commentary today and I’m gonna stick to my word.
AK27 2:25 PM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
You missed Palin, Tate…she wants the man impeached ! LOL
We do disagree on some points but a discussion of the same calls for another platform.
Magicman 11:07 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Reagan was voted the best. Irony
tate793 11:26 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
The irony is that the only knocks against Obama have been so utterly bullsh*t, that they consisted of killing a fly on national tv, calling at a local PD for the way they profiled and arrested a Harvard professor for entering his own home, and not telling congress he was going after OBL. Oh yeah, and his Affordable Health Care Act.
It was obvious from day 1, by the racist political cartoons (watermelon patch in front of the white house, etc) that there is a faction of redneck @ssholes in the country that no matter what he accomplishes (despite the total lack of cooperation from the republicans) he would still be lambasted.
But, yes, he took the country from the abysmal mess that Bush had created and got us back on the road to recovery.

There is no helping the racist pricks and ( most of ) the Republicans..
Agree with most of your thoughts but I don’t think every critique of his has been b******t…far from it
NBA4ever 11:59 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Not every critique……….just most of it is malarkey and stupidity like Benghazi!!!!!
AK27 12:30 PM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Yeah, Benghazi and all the never ending outrage would be comical if it weren’t so stupid…Fox is a joke…..still, there are quite a few issues on which things have been “more of the same”…and on some, worse.

Soooo, Ms. Justa makes an appearance! How YOU doin’?
For the rest of yaz, leave the politics at home…this is basketball…and GDub spends enough time in DC that I’ll side with him anyway.
GDUBinDC 11:26 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
But that doesn’t necessarily give me any better perspective, JR. In fact, it might make it worse being exposed to all the scoundrels on a daily basis. (sigh)
GDUBinDC 11:52 AM on July 11, 2014 Permalink
Sup Justa! Kinda agree with u on the ‘speech’, but as far as the collusion thingy, I’m sure there r some fans who might argue that both Malone and Payton sorta did the same thing in joining up with Shaq and Kobe a few years back, albeit with a much less successful result. IJS
