More Obama + Heels

But overcoming the likes of Tyler Hansbrough, the national collegiate player of the year, proved difficult for the 46-year-old presidential hopeful.
With more than a dozen members of the national press corps and several local TV crews watching on the sidelines, Obama took on the tough center, but missed to a resounding “ooh.”
“I thought I had one over the national player of the year,” the candidate said.
Obama kept up with the run-and-gun pace for at least five minutes before benching himself. When he got back in the game, Coach Roy Williams called a play.
“You’ve got the future president of the United States wide open,” Williams told his players.

Did he refuse to salute the flag during the national anthem before the game? Or maybe he called Roy Williams a “typical white person” when he ran a play for Tyler? Did he get to play ball with any of those “working class” folks that he seems to dislike so much?
We (as a country) can do so much better.

I know it’s not worth the effort, but:

But really the Swiftboating, McCain’s illegimate child bs from 2000, etc… really needs to stop. More importantly, folks need to stop believing these lies.

I don’t see where anyone said anything about his Muslim ties or his refusal to say the pledge of allegiance. The things I posted were documented facts. He was dumb enough to say those things in public!
He’s a racist. Plain and simple. And pretty much anti-American.

Whatever. I should known better to waste my time with a dookie.

I guess being a dookie means I use my brain when deciding a presidential candidate…..and when choosing a team to cheer for! lol

Hey bitter asshat, take the ill-informed GOP Dook lol nonsense somewhere else. How is an American anti-American? He is against himself? Also, as you have seen in Cameron on several occasions, Tyler is no typical white person.

I am a racist douche bag.

Whoa!
I don’t hate white people or my country.
Frankly I love them both (take for instance my late mother!)
But I do get frustrated with ignorant people like Hot Route who try to misstate my views.
I hope that clarifies things.
Sincerely,
Senator Barack Obama

It’s funny how the meatheads come out of the woodwork with their constant demands for lyoalty oaths and such. But when it comes to how meatheads interpret comments, I think Bertrand Russell said it best, “A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.”

Hey, Jackie, why don’t you delete your racist comment of “Tyler is not a typical white person” if you are going to change my comments. It’s cool for you to make comments like that, but not me?

Welcome, Ed. Is this the haven for lesser-talented UNC players? Who’s going to show up next? Serge Zwiker?

Go back to your own blog troll.

I don’t think Hot Route gets what this blog is all about. Plus it’s Zwikker, meathead, and all Tar Heels are posse members in good standing unlike some people I might name.

Ed, it’s loyalty not “lyoalty”, meathead.
