7 Reasons LeBron is Just Like Obama
1) Both “King James” and the “Obamessiah” were glorified as the greatest without ever actually doing anything.
2) Both tossed their hometown under the bus.
Lebron dissed Cleveland pretty hardcore and Obama pretty much threw everyone in Chicago under the bus including his spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright.
3) Both seem to promise big but don’t exactly deliver.
4) Both mock their opponents.
5) Both have used terms that mock special needs people.
Lebron called a reporter’s question “retarded” here:
Obama compared his poor bowling game to the Special Olympics” for a laugh:
6) Both spend most of their time playing a game.
7) Both recently got schooled by an older veteran

i heard this joke earlier today:
Never ask LeBron James if he has change for a buck – he never has a fourth quarter.

Whoooooo that's a good one. Still recovering here in Big D. What a Monday. So far the fair citizenry hasn't burned anything to the ground. In b-ball land, that is downright genteel.

Being from Cleveland AND a Conservative, I found this post especially good.

Both have had cheesy products named for them:

Being a Texan and a long-suffering Mavs fan who now lives in the Cleveland area, I am definitely loving the schadenfreud right about now.

What's the difference between Dirk and LeBron?
Dirk REALLY DID take his talents to South Beach.

Know why LeBron never attended college?
He knew he wouldn't get past the Finals.

You are a racist. Go to confession and ammend your ways.

Loving this.

"You are a racist. Go to confession and ammend your ways."
Good grief. And you are a pathetic race-hustling hack. Furthermore, "amend" only has one "m".
Besides, if Matt were truly a "racist", Reverend Al would have shown up already to proclaim what "a outrage" this post is.

It's a outrage!!!

When you can't deny the charges in a coherent way, go after the spelling. Face it. You are a racist.

Both like to talk big. Inexperienced. Overvalued. Overpaid. I never cared for either of them.

I'm no athlete so I can't relate much. But Obama reminds me more of Tiger Woods in the way he betrayed the Constitution.

When you can't deny the charges in a coherent way, go after the spelling. Face it. You are a racist.
When you can't defend your charge in anyway whatsoever, repeat the charge. Face it. You are a race-hustling hack.

The burden of proof is on the accuser because one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This guy must be a paid operative from that new propaganda agency.

No; I'm not a race-hustling black. I'm just a loudmouth liturgical communion-in-the-hand lesbian liberal hack talking to a bunch of partisan hacks that subscribe to partisan talking points against the President of the United States and have a deep-seeded hatred for black people. Where was all the outrage when Bush was spending a bunch of money that we did not have?! Oh, that's right, Bush was white. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. You are racists.

Fallacy: Argumentum ad herba
Mr. Rational: "If x > y and y > z, then x > z."
The other kind: "Mr. R, you're a bigot and a racist! You only say x > z because Bush is white."

*sigh* It's always the liberals who bring up race.
You know, anonymous, if I were to agree with you, then we'd both be wrong.
June 15, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I'm just a loudmouth
Agreed. Now please read this and then we can all go on with our lives.
