Obama Wishes the Bulls Were the Celtics
Despite their crummy play, the Chicago Bulls continue to have friends in high places.
Presidential candidate, and former collegiate ballplayer, Barack Obama is a big Chicago Bulls fan and, like most Bulls supporters these days, he’s looking at successful teams with envious eyes.
On the campaign trail, the Senator from Illinois recently visited the offices of the Boston Globe and had a few questions for the reporters:
Then the US senator had a question — and a request.
The question: “What are you putting in the water here?
The request: “Can we get some of that in Chicago?'’
If he wins the Presidency, can he force KG to play in his hometown? Pretty sure it’s part of that whole Executive Power thing.

It wasn’t a part of the executive power until Caligula of Crawford came to power. Now Obama could make the West All-stars the Bulls with a a signing statement.

If Bush can start illegal wars and steal elections, why cant Obama steal Garnett away from the Celtics?

Caligula was the roman emperor who appointed his horse to the imperial senate, and ruled like an idiot. Think of some of Bush’s appointments (Harriet Miers, Alberto Gonzales, that guy who boned his wife in the butt while she was sleeping, and was the surgeon general, if I recall correctly). It was a bit of an alliteration that I tried to tie something politically intersting in the Barack-tor J article.
