Any one think this is an odd comment.? he seems to be getting away with a lot of not very well thought out statements ...especially when he is not working from a script....is anyone bothered by this? thoughts?

Re: asian basketball players in hawaii are short
Obama isn't too far off the mark.
Back in the '80s there were the Canencia brothers playing high school basketball. They were short but fast. Often they were right in there, flying through the key and making layups past taller players.
Our wahine volleyball players often weren't all that tall, either. Yet the UH team trounced almost all the other teams in the WAC.

We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.

Good natured ribbing, and tongue in cheek funanigans has been killed by the Political Correctness crowd, with their soft skinned approach to life, and their "I'm so offended" reaction to just about everything.FutureNewsNetwork.com

Re: Obama and Asian Basketball Players in Hawaii
TK, that's just another reason why we need an Obama in charge.
Hopefully, he'll eventually get the 'stick up their ass' crowd to diminish into the void of total insignifigance.
Janet Jackson's boobie! So what, big deal!
I'd of had real admiration for those two jokers that night if they'd had the balls to tell the American public that they did it on purpose to get the discussion out there to find the proper priorities in American culture, and not be so friggin over-sensitive to the human body and all the problems it causes.
Obama has the chance to do some serious remapping of our society's focus. But, it'll be the battle of the century.

Ah, but what could Obama say? His team won the state title during his senior year. Hard to accuse the coaching staff of "favoritism" when the starting lineup playing ahead of you are the champs.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.
