President Obama made an appearance as a third CBS commentator at the Georgetown-Duke game

[dgkm83]

those CBS commentators laughing .... so fake

[ballershanelle]

@mrfaizmalik..it's a major sport plus duke, is one of many, national championship team. Future NBA players come from college ball

[MrFaizmalik]

how does college basketball in america have so many fans at a game? are they families all of em or what?

[travsinjon]

notice the guy to the far right

[ehlu15]

hey, how's the economy?

that's what i thought.

[USA4July1776]

Obama sucks.

[slimjimzquinn27]

this seems so normal but inside my heading i'm going "ahh!! that's the president talking sports like a pro!"

[Buffalo4Ever78]

my left ear liked that

[uofl2004]

Obama doing sportscenter after his presidency doesn't sound too bad.

[jazz351974]

This man told everyone on that podium that things may get worse before it gets better. Thank you for your positive post. I finally have job after looking for 3 months. People who say that the economy is getting worse maybe true, but this man is not a miracle worker people. He has to battle with all those Republicans in Congress.

[jazz351974]

Some people are so damn stupid. They do not want to say anything good about this man.

[slimjimzquinn27]

@jazz351974

I know but you just have to ignore them. Some people fail to see the humanity; you just have to tolerate them. They'll exhaust themselves, being so negative.

[USA4July1776]

@slimjimzquinn27 Ignorance is bliss, he?

[USA4July1776]

@jazz351974 That's because there's NOTHING good to say about this mean-spirited, anti-American Marxist douche bag! From day one, he has been nothing but a divisive leftist activist, and not the president of all Americans.

When he was first elected, I was filled with good will, and willing to stand by him. But he has never ceased to talk about conservative patriots of my kind as the enemy of this country, so he can go F&*% himself as his presidency is a total disaster for my beloved country.

[YoungBeta]

I wanna see someone try 2 attack him in a public place like this JUST to see what crazy things the secret service will do like an invisible ninja comes out of no where to protect the president lol o rthey have light sabers in their pockets????

[acealex123]

@ICantDecriptTheCode Our economy has gotten better? Maybe you should check out our rising 14 trillion dollar national debt and a 9.1 percent unemployment rate, which is getting worse.

[YoungBeta]

@acealex123 things always gets worse before getting better. I have a job after not being able to find 1 :D

[sternumagnum]

Wow. Even if you disagree 100 percent with the man's politics and what he does as a president, you can't deny he has natural charm!

I mean, you could not find charm on George W Bush if you had him dissected.

[Rugerman205]

LOL @ I'm coming for YOUR job when I retire...you either have 3 more years OR 7!! You need to plan accordingly!

[halcyon0830]

Why doesn't this Bush-Clone Corporate-Owned Useless Neocon Piece of Shit Obama become a Sports Commentator and LEAVE THE WHITEHOUSE ALREADY. LEAVE THE PRESIDENCY TO ADULTS.

[togonumber]

@halcyon0830 ................JUST LIKE U.:)

[des696969]

god another vacation? thats all this guy does

[Clackergille]

@des696969 i really hope your not comparing him to George W. Bush

[des696969]

@Clackergille what do you mean? he takes a vacation every 5 seconds.. please is this going to the basketball game helping bring world peace? i don't think so. Absolutely no reason

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

The economy has gotten better and Obama and the crew are working every day to keep it going. So the haters can stfu and go suck a dick.

[LuisRamirez666]

Obama, coolest president ever!

[tim23z]

Barack Obama was on a state championship basketball team while at Occidental College. The man knows basketball. This has to be awesome to have today's version of George Washington sitting next to you for a ball game. Regardless of politics, the man's a class act.

[lukemn29]

I wonder if someone had the balls to yell "Hey, down in front!" at the secret service agents.

[brandie7654]

he is so down to earth

[muslimgiga]

@brandie7654 but lacking a backbone. Thought black people would be tougher. No way NDAA would have passed if Dr. Paul was in office.

[MikeezyTV]

Great man. And this is the guy the right says is a socialist dictator. Pssh

[jong345]

ok, everybody talking smack should look back on those terrible 7 minutes that bush sat and did nothing after the attacks of september 11. here is obama, who just gave 30 million americans health care and helped millions of college students get an education, is winning the war in afghanistan and about to tackle financial regulation, with no successful attacks on the country, taking a few hours out of his day to be amongst the people of the great nation he is trying his hardest to lead. LAY OFF

[YoungBudd]

Where the love people? So y'all don't take a break?

[YoungBudd]

Where's the love people? Believe me, you would take a break from your job too. (If you haven't done that already)

[masterstupidity]

seriously wtf is this?

why the hell is he doing this? He should be helping our country not waisting tax dollars doing this!

jesus, when will this guy start acting like the fucking president of the U.S.A? What the hell is wrong with Obama!?

[shahen13]

you really are a master at stupidity, huh?

[Yellownealy]

Your name suits you

[Pkftmfw]

tonyg0123, dude calm down. Every American is going through what you are Some might not be having a not as rough time but it happens I'm only a boy so I cant really say anything knowing little about how the government works but seriously It's nice to see Obama doing what he enjoys for a change instead of being a slave to helping the people I know hes done shit as the president he hasn't fallen through with almost any trusts if any but still It's not even his mess if Bush fucked it up before him.

[o7levi]

Obama you freaking joke, you think you're so damn suave and cool... see guys, this is what we get when Madison Avenue and the media promote a Hollywood candidate and the gullible masses vote him in, a guy who really could give two sh*ts and is so into himself and being liked/cool that he takes every opportunity to keep campaigning and get his face on camera. I'm beyond disgusted.

[3HDPS]

stop being jealous you white bitch

[gregvs3]

What a lowlife. Presidents do not gallivant around announce college basketball games. Especially in the middle of a recession when the rest of us have to work our asses off to clean up his mess.

This man does not have the maturity to be entrusted with running a hot dog stand, let alone a fucking country.

[fictiontoo]

tonyg0123 You sound like you feel things are pretty hopeless. When I feel this way, I try to find someone who is worse off than I am and do something to make their day a little better. You say you have food and a job. Just hang in there. The overwhelming majority of Americans that you speak of will have their say soon enough.

[Duke5Duke]

Ok so at 1:15, Obama says "the best colored man in college basketball". Now how come he can say that, he's half white. Im suprised no one has said anything about it. Colored! He really said Colored in 2010, as a half breed...kinda bullcrap!

[carlsaischa]

I'm white.

Colored.Colored.Colored.Colore­d.Colored.Colored.Colored.Colo­red.Colored.Colored.Colored.Co­lored.Colored.Colored.Colored.­Colored.Colored.Colored.Colore­d.Colored.Colored.Colored.Colo­red.Colored.Colored.Colored.Co­lored.

[fictiontoo]

Excuse me. He said, "The best color man..." There is the announcer who gives play by play of the game. The second guy gives "color commentary," that is to say, he fills in details and information when play is not in progress. He is often referred to as the "Color man." See Wikipedia "color commentator"

[3HDPS]

barack is black himself and colored himself you inbred white asshole racist

[SteelAVic18]

Clark Kellog was a little nervous....

[TheTruthHurts101]

This is so disturbing... everybody knows that he is a puppet but this is just so blatant!

[uggati]

Yo Republicans, Tea-baggers and Obama-haters: This prez can do several things at once, unlike your man W who could only do one thing at a time -- and that was to follow Cheney's orders. If you like W, Cheney and Palin so much, why don't you go to Iraq or Afghanistan and die for their freedoms?

[TheeAmericanPride]

Wow, he can play golf, play basketball and commentate, but there is one thing you are missing....

.....He can't do his job as President, he sucks and this just goes to show how easily distracted he becomes.

People don't have jobs, while this Obama asshole goes to games ALL the time.....Look at our hard earned tax dollars at work, flying him from game to game and additional security.

Obama is the worst president period....And news flash, we are at war in several places now, and obama is Prez

[tonyg0123]

@TheeAmericanPride at this point, the less Obama is doing his job, it's probably better for America...Anytime this guy opens his mouth about the economy, the stock market drops. That's why I say, the more vacations he is on the better America is. Now, if we can only get him to take a permanant vacation.

[Deathroe69]

Right, Tonyg0123.

The stimulus prevented the ultimate financial crash into another depression. Let me ask ya something, pal:

Would you rather have a deficit, or no house to live in? Or hardly any food?

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 no, considering I pay rent out of my own pocket and by food out of my own pocket without help from the government. And how can you justify your statement? "would you rather have a deficit, or no house to live in?" Thats makes absolutely no sense. I see a president taking this country in the opposite direction against the overwhellming majority of Americans? "the stimulus prevented the ultimate financial crash"? Name an economist outside of obama's cabnet that agrees with you.

[Deathroe69]

@tonyg0123, I honestly don't think you know how the economy works. It revolves like a system -- a giant computer. You are right, YOU pay the money out of your own pocket. There is no doubt about that. But you have to look at the BIG PICTURE.

Let's start from the beginning: the banks collapsed. Where is the money? In the banks. If the GOVERNMENT hadn't come in to bail out the banks, we would have no money. Simple.

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 U don't bail out banks, you give them tax incentives and reduce the loaning till you accumulate small growth again. Simply giving billions of dollars to a bank so that it could wind up back to where it started won't accomplish anything. U have to look at the BIG PICTURE. look where the stimulus money actually went. Did it go towards loans? Then the government has to stop funding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Research the "glass steagall act" and "Gramm bliley leach act" -clinton

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 Obama's budget has just quadrupled Bush's and now we have countries like China doubting if they will ever get their money back. It's a scary thought (future wars), I just wanna know when the spending will stop. When we spend that much we are gambling in hopes of an exponential growth in the economy, however when we arn't growing exponentially, we are in trouble.

[666enator]

yea keep moaning moron..being president isnt easy..he needsa abreak every now and then..so does everyone..George fucking bush was in his backyard 90% of the time..so atleast obama takes his breaks publicly to let the world know that most of the time atleast he's trying to do a job..

[tonyg0123]

@666enator being president means working 24/7 for 4 years. He has accomplished nothing. Absolutely nothing. Every word out of his mouth has been a lie. A few days after the state of the union, where he had all these so-called "plans" to get people back to work, he is at a fucking basketball game. this president is an incompetant clown. everything he does turns into a disaster.

[tonyg0123]

@uggati I actually was front line USMC two tours in Iraq during Bush's presidency. obama is an embarassment to America, democracts are now even turning their backs on this incompetant leader. Look around you! Look what's going on in the elections. Republicans are winning in the most democratic states. Only one year and every word out of this guys mouth is a complete lie. The gig is up. As bad as Bush was, people would take Bush any day over Obama.

[tonyg0123]

@uggati now it's your turn to fight for Obama in Afghanistan, you know, that war he promised to end when he came into office and then sent 30,000 more troops.

[fictiontoo]

Do you people really think it's productive to be on the job twenty-four seven? Don't any of you ever need down time to, say, browse YouTube or hang with friends? I find this interlude refreshing. I expect Obama did too. If you're going to be hounded by the media every waking moment, you may as well join them once in awhile.

[tonyg0123]

@fictiontoo but you don't get it. HE IS THE PRESIDENT. This is not some average schmuck job. He has the position of the highest person in the world. When you take on the job of the presidency you should be "on call" 24/7 for 4 years straight...especially in the predicament that this country is currently in (2 wars, and economic mess, corrupt everywhere you look). People can't find jobs, and this guy is hanging out discussing basketball. childish. Come on.

[devil952]

so this is what our president does...

[Philhelm]

devil952: Well, as long as Obama is doing this sort of thing, it gives him less time to fuck up the U.S. What a disgrace.

[chuska8383]

The idiot is everywhere! We are not supposed to be a banana republic and our president is not supposed to be a commentator at basketball games! Our country is falling apart! Our economy is in the toilet! We at war with two countries! Our unemployment rate is skyrocketing...AND THIS IDIOT IS WATCHING A BASKETBALL GAME TWO DAYS AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH! What a joke! I want to vomit! This is as bad as Bush!  Where are the real, non-puppet leaders of this country! Give me R Paul!

[tonyg0123]

why is the president at a basketball game? really Obama, really?

[Deathroe69]

Afterall, not even the president is entitled to going to a game.

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 "not even the president is entitled to going to a game"...no, not right now. not during 2 wars, not when there is access of 10% unemployment. He could go to every single bball game he wants after his presidency is over. He took this job and as of right now he is "on the clock" for 3 more years.

[Deathroe69]

@Tonyg0123

My point exactly. Because, really, it only takes up 2 hours of his day. 2 hours! That's horrendous! Gosh darn Obama!

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 yeah, 2 hours of his day where he can actually be doing something like...oh, I don't know?...creating jobs? and not talking about grown men throwing a ball in a hoop. This guy is nothing more than an empty suit build up by the American media, which prayed on the minds of typical Americans who were too busy watching sports and american idol while eating mcdonalds to even care what's happening to their country.

[Deathroe69]

@tonyg0123

Taking 2 hours out of his to "create jobs"? Obama can't magically just create jobs. It involves pumping money in to the economy, where there are countless other factors. A lot of the recovery is also beyond his control. The stimulus allocates money into different areas, one of which is to the states for infrastructure projects, etc. Obama doesn't decide on what jobs get created in your community.

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 all of what you said is irrelevant, and, not only that, but most of the 1 trillion+ stimulus dollars went toward government funded infrastructure projects, NOT small business. It comes down to this: the country is a mess and Obama is at a basketball game. That's it. No, he can't just snap his fingers and create jobs, but at least he can make it look like he gives a damn. The stimulus was nothing more than paying off the people that put him into power (AIG, Goldman Sachs...ect)

[tonyg0123]

@Deathroe69 I'm not against "pumping money into the economy", but we have to do it responsibly. We have to realize that we have to pay that money back eventually (with interest). Also, Americans need to know where their tax dollars are going. At the same time you also need to cut taxes. Why? because it works. The only effort Obama made towards helping small business is he said he will "cut capital gains tax". Unknown to Obama, small businesses don't pay capital gains tax.

[ioet]

go georgetown!!!!! love it =)

[shiites]

all work and no play...

[combat1856]

This president thinks hes a celebrity. Hey asshole get to work. Second thought. Its better you dont work.

[thomasjc2000]

Great Job President Obama! You are truly a geniune person and that is exactly why you are our President!

[gdernie]

He should be working. not watching sports! Jerkface!

[RachelPhilly]

Did it bother you as much that GWB was always taking vac, he took more vacations than any other presidents, look it up.,or does it just bother you because you can't stand this president?

[VeneRican1]

y are u bringing up bush, that is everybodys excuse now a days, its been a year, and the only "change" ive seen is more debt, a worse economy, and a bad public image for our president, what is he doing at these bball games? we are supposedly on the brink of a economic meltdown...what is he doing having fun and chillin like a villin at sporting events?

[tonyg0123]

@RachelPhilly you compare everything to bush, but I thought obama was "above" bush, I thought obama was gonna bring "change"? Ha! As far as i'm concerned obama has been on vacation since january 20th, 2009...he has accomplished nothing in over a year...ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING! the gig is up. Everything out of his mouth is complete B.S.

[chuska8383]

@RachelPhilly Yes, it bothered me that that Bush took vacations while our country was falling apart and his irresponsible decisions dragged this country down in flames as the new Rome collapses! It bothers me that people think that the idiocy of a previous president and the "conservative" administration somehow warrants or excuses the same, blatant stupidity from for this administration and the "liberal" administration. Wake the hell up! We're in serious trouble! Obama's a joke!

[devil952]

it bothers people because he promised change, not make things worse and slack off.

[gdernie]

I run my business and I know how much work it takes for me to survive. Now the president (no matter who he is or what he is) should not be taking vacation and go watch games with my tax dollars.

Put the persona aside, technically and by facts, can any one proof that these presidents are working for us or for some one else? Why aren't people mad? Because most people are Sheeple. Tuned to do one thing....work and spend. (this includes money and time)

[light101]

@gdernie This was a few hours compared to Bush's months of "kicking it at the ranch".

[Camela36]

Hi haircut is banging! Go Head Obama! Lined up and faded! LOVE IT! LOL!

OBAMA FATAL WOUND: THE BIBLE !

Spread worldwide the Worst-Case scenario

Revelation's Chapter 13: Verse 3, "and I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast"

Obama has 7 creeds/heads (Islam, Communism etc...) of which one, Christianity, was fatally "wounded" when Lotto's SATANICAL 666 was drawn and shared front pages' news with his victory headlines, thus cursing and revealing him as evil

[RicIsGod]

Love Special K.. greatest high school baller from the state of ohio,,56 pts in championship game and vern..well he was vern and go barrack

[PdishmonkeyJJ]

go_Obama

[qiovanni]

the fat guy had the face like "I didn't vote for you"

[i8jrc]

Idiots in US don't deserve a president like Obama. Let's swap presidents. Take our big ugly rat in the blue house as a president. He will make W Bush appear competent if that is feasible.

[romell1970]

@ KikoKat - You're on point

[TavernWenchBlog]

Fantastic! Thank you for posting. President Obama is pretty good at this!

[paulsum69]

Thanks for posting. I was unable to find this clip anywhere including the CBS sports site. Obama was as usual personable and funny.

[allieallison2]

Normally I find Obama arrogant and dishonest, but he seems to have humbled out a little bit in this clip. I look forward to his career as sportscaster starting in 2013!

[masada811]

Total domination from start to finish... HOYA SAXA!

[mcv47]

How presidential of him *snort*

[LEE008iDiOT]

Its funny because if George Bush went to NASCAR or went to his ranch to cut brush people say that he is a man of the people. Obama goes to a game and talks with the announcers and I'm sure people will rag on him and say he is not focused on the job... Funny how the liberal media works

[KikoKat]

How true, the man could cure cancer tomorrow and he'd be trashed by the right for being arrogant.

[alex1735]

What you just said makes absolutely no sense.

[HowardSternn]

1#OBAMA

[rickcrna]

The morons at Fix News will have something derogatory to say about Obama no matter what he is doing.

[gatorbuckeye]

How long will it take for the Repukelicans' paid trolls to get on here and start bashing?

Over/under: 10 more minutes.

[togonumber]

@gatorbuckeye

what's a troll ??

[gatorbuckeye]

@togonumber

people who spend much of their time leaping around from talk thread to talk thread posting mindless rants (in this case against obama), usually soaked with venom and always void of facts. repunklicans are notorious for it. my theory is many of them are congressional aides who lead boring lives spending nights in their dark, moldy rooms ranting right-wing fox-noise.

[pondmonkey]

awesome!
