Wonderful: Celebrity President Might Buy Into NBA Team When His Retirement Is Official

This disease will linger for a long time.

What an asshole.

President Barack Obama’s second term in office is almost complete, leaving many to wonder what he will do when he leaves office in January. It appears the 44th President might be taking his talents to the NBA.

Press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Obama, an unabashed sports fan, has “discussed” joining an ownership group for an NBA franchise. But Earnest also added that Obama would move forward only “under the right circumstances.”

Posted by: Banana Splits Guy at June 30, 2016 03:30 PM (KoCoX)

26 He started his "career" in politics unable to buy a house and up to his eyeballs in student loans (Michelle's). He gets elected to a PART TIME state senator position and is able to buy a million dollar mansion in a chic neighborhood. He gets elected to US Senate and then POTUS and is leaving with enough $ to buy into an NBA team.
This is exactly what's wrong with politics.

28 Yes!!! We were talking about this in the morning thread. I think it's the perfect thing for him to do. He's star-struck by NBA players, and it will keep him so busy he won't have time to stick his nose in politics. It's perfect.

And as I also said earlier, I guess it goes without saying that I couldn't care less about the NBA.

2) Awesome sky box for free, with complimentary refreshments for hangers-on

3) No financial liability and no operational responsibility, however-

has the right to sit in on board meetings and gas endlessly.

4) Some form of payroll/benefits.

5) Free use of team transportation.

Even with his book royalties, he couldn't afford an NBA team on his own. So he'd have to go in with an ownership group. And no matter how bad the team fails, no matter how much money they lose, the group will never be able to tell him to take a hike. This might actually make basketball fun again!

Of course this was a discussion about the investigation and, because the meeting was so short, I'd bet Lynch delivered a message that was already decided.

She just met with the President a week or so ago in an unscheduled, unannounced meeting. My bet is the FBI told her what they want to do and she informed the president and then informed Clinton.

349 Never fear, he and Mooch will be Clinton Foundation 2, making bazillions speaking and hobnobbing and rubbing "elbows" with their fans.

If things were not going to hell, it would be fascinating to study the willfully malignant fretting of transgender bathrooms, placing trannnies in the military, global warming and "the poor" by this administration. Vs, you know, radical islamic terrorism fast marching into every nation.

Sen Cruz nails it in interviewing another worthless worm on the payroll...Jeh of DHS. Syntax! Words! Those are the real danger. Not connecting the freaking dots and deporting these bastards before they kill innocent Americans. Oh, no! We would not want to be freaking xenophobes (oh yes I do). If they quack like a terrorist they probably are. If they are associated with radical mosques or have daddy's who are pro-Taliban, they probably learn it at his knee.

Seven and 1/2 years of "helping" their favorite religious group have endangered us all.

And where the hail is Mateen's wife? That is the question of the summer.

I see that the deal struck on the plane by Peyronie's Bill and that Lynch woman (who married in 2007 and this must prevent her from having grandchildren, or so I read) was to not reveal he State Dept emails of Le Haggard Harridan til we are all dead, sometime in her second year if elected. pfft

November cannot come too soon...and I pray there will be fumigation of not only the WH but all branches of government. The entire city needs to be tented like for termites...but this would pertain mostly to crapweasels and cockroaches (who we know survive anything. I guess if you look under her tunic it is the body of a cockroach. The tunic tries to hide her hard shell and groady hairy legs).

She was hanging on to that thang for dear life, while balancing on some type of very odd shoes and semi-fighting her billowing frock (that somehow costs almost two grand). Then! She is towering and lurching around the petite Spanish Queen like a linebacker. Some describe Mooch's dress as either made with a roll of paper towels, a disposable robe from an OB/GYN office, or a boat at full sail. Love the comments. She looks like she ate about four of the Queen for breakfast. I simply cannot bless her heart. xoxo

Even partial owners are generally billionaires, or at least in the upper hundred millions.

I know Obama and his wife will both have large book deals, and speaking fees, but how does he get the money to buy into a team, the huge house he'll live in and all the rest of the things to fill his lavish lifestyle

It's not like he could have done well in the stock market with a blind trust. oh wait, what's that you say? He didn't have a blind trust? His stocks were completely open to manipulation based on laws he pushed. Laws like blocking keystone, which helped enrich Warren Buffett, who right before the pipeline became an issue purchased the 2 major oil shipping railroads.
