"You know, like I said, I don't want to meddle," Obama told TNT. "I will say this: [Derrick] Rose, Joakim Noah it's a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there."

"I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects and is working hard with teammates who care about him and if that's in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland," Obama said. "If he doesn't feel like he can get it there, then someplace else."

Obama compared James' situation to the Bulls not winning until Michael Jordan had confidence in Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and the rest of his teammates. Once that happened, Chicago won six NBA championships in the 1990s.

"It wasn't until you got that framework around you that you could be a champion," Obama said. "Same thing happened with Kobe [Bryant]. You know, I think that, first with Shaq [O'Neal] then later with [Pau] Gasol, you know, he's gotten that sense of a team around him and I think LeBron hasn't quite been able to get that yet. That's what he needs to find."

No, fuck him. An obscene amount of my generation is unemployed and none of it is our doing, the generations above us have fucked this country up for us and dug a hole that WE have to dig THEM out of.

So Mr. President, suck my fucking cock and do something that is in your job description. He should say "no comment, we have more important things to work on." And the guy who asked him about it should be fired too. I don't care what any former president did, I'd say the same about any of them.

Have no problem with following sports on his own time, but he has no more credibility than anyone posting on this thread regarding this situation. So while most of you are saying, "oh boy, what does the president think about our sports? That's soooo interesting!" I'm over here saying you're all fucking retarded.

I have the same reaction when I hear LeBron James talk about politics and the media covers it as if he has any credibility and people have interest in it as if he would have any credibility on the subject.
