Lebron James at a Vote For Change rally for Barack Obama in 2008. (Zimbio)
He’s not the brightest person on the planet but he does have game.
And, he hates George W. Bush.
Maxim reported, via Huffington Post:
If there was one guy on the planet you could dunk on, who would it be? That teacher?
If it doesn’t have to be a basketball player, George W. Bush. I would dunk on his ass, break the rim, and shatter the glass.
Evidently LeBron believes alienating half of the country is good for his career.

How does he feel about Grover Cleveland?
Stop living in the past Lebron.

Insulting our disgraced ex-President is going to alienate half the country? What planet do you live on? Bush couldn’t even muster up favorable approval ratings from half of Republicans and they make up, what, about 20% of self-identified voters now?

Rasputin:
Just because liberals say Pres. Bush is “disgraced” doesn’t mean he is. He is not disgraced with this American, who knows better than to listen to the bleating sheep of the left.

george bush, imho, was a great president under the circumstances that he encountered when he first arrived in office.
soon our tax cuts that george bush initiated will expire. we will not see that money in our pockets again until we reseed in 2010 and 2012! i believe in american people of all stripes simply because that is why we live here and that is why so many risk their lifes to be here,and one of the magnets that bring so people to our country, along with escaping hopelessness in their own countries is our excellent medical establishment, freedom of speech, just plain freedom!
i pray to our GOD that he will intervene in this horrible administration!imho

Rasputin was speaking of Bill “BJ” Clinton – the REAL disgraced president…disgraced, disbarred for refusing to testify, and Lord knows “BJ” has no three-pointer, no point guard skills, can’t jump (unless jumping interns counts) and basically “got no game”. Odrama is now giving “BJ” a run for his money. Another trillion or two of spending outta just about do it!

I want Obama and his supporters to keep screaming “Bush! Bush! Bush!” all the way up to 2012. It’s a brilliant strategy that will ensure their total victory, because the electorate wants the current president to do nothing and blame his ineptness on his successor.
That’s what we elected Obama to do.

As if his opinion even matters. No matter how much money he makes, he’s still just a dumb-ass basketball player whose career won’t last forever.

I remember this was on the front page of AOL.com when he said it (why am I not surprised? AOL mega left-wing).
Just another celeb bashing Bush. Reminds me of Harrison Ford dissing him in Reader’s Digest.

Who?
The 50 % that he would alienate don’t listen to him anyway.

oh yes, the disgraced days of the Bush administration, all that 5% unemployment.. hooverville indeed. At least now, with Obama, we are enlightened to such things as funemployment and other excotic concepts.
October 22nd, 2009 | 5:51 pm | #22
He’s teammates with Shaq now and it’s obviously rubbing off on him. The two of them will combine to say an amazing number of stupid things this season. This is a bit mystifying because I can’t quite fathom what George Bush ever did to Lebron. Lebron made a lot of money under Bush’s big government policies. With the new collective bargaining agreement the NBA will negotiate next season Lebron will likely make a lot less money under Obama’s even bigger government policies. Not to mention pay more in taxes. But really, why do we care though? The Cavs aren’t getting past Orlando or Boston anyway.

seriously.. who gives a bats guano what this
LeBron James thinks, never mind about GWB..
i never heard of him, so i doubt his hatred of GWB
will have any affect on my (or anyone else’s) future..
meanwhile, i’ve yet to see a post about the following..
Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty?
perhaps this explains why Obama is sailing through
“we the people” like a knife through melted butter..
Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMe5dOgbu40&feature=player_embedded#
flashback to February 22, 2008
Obama’s sovereignty giveaway plan
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56959
[Why are Republicans in Congress trying to help Barack Obama?
Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name, among nine others, to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. That means there was no roll-call vote so no member can be held accountable. The same bill passed the House by voice vote last year.
[..]
Obama’s costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.
The bipartisan bill would require the president “to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”]

Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in
Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/16/obama-poised-to-cede-us-sovereignty-in-copenhagen-claims-british-lord-monckton/
[Question: The current administration and the Democratic majority in Congress has shown little regard for the will of the people. They’re trying to pass a serious government agenda, and serious taxation and burdens on future generations. And there seems to be little to stop them. How do you propose we stop Obama from doing this, because I see no way to stop him from signing anything in Copenhagen. I believe that’s his agenda and he’ll do it.]
“you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” ~ B Hussein O
all i have to say is.. i can think of no other explanation as to how he’s been able to get away with what’s he’s done, not to mention what he intends to do.. can anyone offer an alternate explanation??

Acting like a N-word must be vogue now.

Wow moonbat exterminator classy. Get a life! No one really cares what LeBron thinks, just like they don’t care what Hollywood actors think. How is he “acting like aN-word”? Despicable!
October 22nd, 2009 | 6:05 pm | #26
I believe Hot Air ran with this a week ago, and like I said then, LeBron probably should have a talk with his tax accountant about how Obama’s policies are going to affect the 1 percent of richest Americans, which he probably doesn’t realize includes him now. And unless Congress passes something, there is no IRS exemption for multimillionaire 20-somethings born in the poorer part of Akron.
And if James signs with the Knicks next year and Obama gets all his programs, his combined federal, state and city income taxes will be somewhere in the 60 percent range. So that $150 million contract you’re waiting for Madison Square Garden to offer you? Obama, Patterson and Bloomberg get $90 million of that right off the bat. Hope and lots and lots of change headed to the government before LeBron ever sees a dime.

Bush is not the President anymore. It is time for these liberals to forget Bush. They need to worried about Obama. Obama is not doing his job for our country. He just care about is himself and his Chicago buddies. His job approval rating below 45%. He has a ‘lack’ of inexperience and leadership.

Who cares what he says? Just play ball and shut-up.
Hollywood has screwed themselves with politics, why not the NBA?
Another reason to confirm that the libs are just not too smart…but we knew that.
October 22nd, 2009 | 6:53 pm | #31
Let’s be honest. Lebron couldn’t spell George W. Bush if we gave him the “George” the “W.” and the “sh”.
Go back to shooting hoops.

LeBron James has about as much intellect as a box of rocks. He’s not exactly the poster child for intelligent political discourse.
In fact, if he was six inches shorter he’d be working at Burger King.
October 22nd, 2009 | 8:17 pm | #36
I would dunk on Lebron’s mama.
October 22nd, 2009 | 8:44 pm | #37
What do you expect he was going to say. Sometimes it’s best not to say anything and let people think your dumb then to say something and letting them know that you are dumb.
Hopefully his rap career goes the way of shaq’s rap career.
Whether you like or dislike President Bush, he was a class act, unlike the “blame everyone” communist that let’s everyone who disagrees with him know that “I won”.
October 22nd, 2009 | 10:50 pm | #38
In case you all haven’t noticed, Bush is no longer the President. Why don’t you discuss the current leader and what he is doing? Don’t you think it is about time HE takes ownership of the problems we face. I know he sounded great during the campaign, but what has he actually done other than declaring WAR on FNC?
October 23rd, 2009 | 7:04 am | #39
I am from Ohio, now living in GA. I follow all pro teams from my home state (painful as THAT is). Just sent the Cavs a note telling them I done supporting, watching and buying tickets. Dude needs to shut up and play……..
October 23rd, 2009 | 4:44 pm | #40
See what happens when you skip college. Hey Lebron, go back to chewing on your finger nails. I used to enjoy watching you. Now I’ll enjoy things that don’t go your way…nothing personal. I just hate idiots.
October 23rd, 2009 | 4:47 pm | #41
Hey Susan – Did you email them or send snail mail. If you emailed, how did you get their email address and what is it? I’d love to follow you lead.
October 24th, 2009 | 3:33 pm | #42
Maybe if Lebron is lucky when he lands after the dunk on Bush there will be some defenseless white nuns holding orphans and baby chicks sitting in the front row under the basket that he can land on and then kick a couple of times before he runs back down court…..
