From Cosby Sweaters:
In a recent interview posted by Reuters, retiring NBA Commissioner David Stern takes issue with President Obama’s basketball game. Stern mentioned that the President is “not as good” at basketball “as he thinks he is,” and then hit the President with a low-blow saying that “he’s a lefty and goes left every time.” At the end of the interview, the commish does acknowledge how great President Obama’s love of the game has been for the league and its players.
NBA Commissioner David Stern will be stepping down from the post he will have held for 28 years on Feb. 1, 2014.

, and it shows
You are right people do not realize how the government is not the be all end all savior of all things. You are 100% correct in that the FEDERAL government is not allowed to enter a STATE for emergency action UNLESS the STATE government requests aid. That did not happen until well after the tragedy of Katrina occurred. Bush was in contact with with the governor and offered help, it was not accepted. Lesson learned but it was not a cover up or a racially motivated event. It was poor planning and bad decisions on a local level. PERIOD!
Government is for the people by the people not designed to rule the people. Government needs to regulate rules that exist not change the rules to increase their control and power over the people. Local government should set rules and regulations for education at a state level but should have to follow established guidelines set at a Federal level. I could go on but the ones that need to really be educated on how horrible this president's policies are do not read , they want to get their "news" from talk shows, comedians and the women on the View.
In Libya, the feds were directly responsible for taking care of security. Obama/Hillary blew this one as well.
Think before spewing this kind of nonsense.
Don't be biased? What Obama did NOT DO is a perfect example of bias and for a good reason: Obama and his merry band of fools are incompetent.
Get a job.
Do not have kids.

If he had an opinion such as this about the leader of the free world, the President of the United States of America - who is Black - in a league where the majority of players are Black the best thing for Stern to do is to keep his idiot mouth shut!
I look forward to the day when the idiot that is David Stern retires from the NBA.
With regards to doing nothing, when it comes to protecting
America the Republicants had plenty of time to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice and they did not do it.
More people were lost on 9/11 than were lost in Libya and still the Republicants refuse to admit how they had no idea how to bring the coward that was Bin Laden to justice.
President Obama did and now Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.
The anger of the Republicants who cannot stand to see a Black man do anything positive outside of the sports arena is hilarious. It reminds me of the little kid who after getting beat at the playground takes his ball and goes home crying.
Grow up Republicants, this is a sports forum, not a political one.
Bash Stern for being a jerk, because that is deserved.
Look at his record with regards to his harsh and unjustified punishment of Blacks in the NBA and you can see he does not have the best intetest of the league at heart, he is only concerned about his personal legacy.
His comments about the President of the United States, a Black man who was added to the credibility of the NBA is out of place.
How many white Presidents other than possibly Bill Clinton have ever attend an NBA game during Stern's time in office?
Stern and some of the stupid and out of place comments that I have seen here make me sick!
Stop with the race talk, it does no one any good.
Bush did what he needed to to rid the world of a dictator and the Dems are saying that what happened in Libya is a result of bad intelligence and the fact there is a margin of error with the intelligent gathering etc. so give Obama a break. BUT no one allowed this excuse to even be uttered when Bush said this is the intelligence he got from "credible" sources IN Iraq. Could it be they lied to get us to intervene? Maybe but if race is not a factor then the killing of our Ambassador and 3 others due to poor intelligence should then also exonerate President Bush from his decision based on intelligence.
Dems you cannot have your cake and eat it all the time!!
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
