Charles Barkley Can’t Run for Office Soon Enough
Check out Chuck’s comments this past weekend on the political atmosphere in the U.S.
(Wolf Blitzer’s reaction is priceless; he could easily play Mike Myers’s role if they ever make a movie about Kanye’s infamous “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” rant.)

Chuck gets paid to run his mouth. What usually comes out offends someone. That’s entertainment.

President Barkley, sounds good to me. State of the Union by President Barkley: “First of all….”

As a foreigner, I think Barkley is a very modern man, maybe a bit too modern for some Americans. I like what he said, every single word. You almost heard Wolf thinking “I hope he takes some of that back” but why should he? Chuck is right, and he is often right.

I love those comments he made. Not sure if it’s gonna get him that many votes in a Southern state though

Chuck speaks his mind, which is hard for a lot of people to comprehend. May not fly so well in politics. Which is why I hate politics.

Awesome! I wanna move to Alabama just so I can vote for him. Not that he’s got a chance in a state full of “fake christians.”

Every once in a while something like this happens that makes me remember how awesome Charles Barkley is. TNT can occasionally make me forget.

Charles is retarded. The ’speaking your mind’ thing is overrated as hell. Anybody can be can as ‘true’ as he is if they lack half a brain like Chuck. That man might just get the votes though cause he’s the blubbering TRUTH………..

Charles is 100% right. The only way it could have been better is if he had said all those fake Christians are turrrble.

I love Charles but why would you want a governor with an addiction to gambling?

W.Mack says:
@ Bro. D.,
Our past governer had an addiction of taking money from the education fund (in the state with the 2nd worst education system in the country) and funneling it into the hands of already-rich CEOs. I don’t think Chuck could be much worse for us.

And as all of you have alluded to, Alabama is one of the least progressive states in the Union. It’s not uncommon to walk past people in public and see “The South Will Rise Again” emblazened on something. It’s ridiculous. That fake Christians comment was spot on too. We’ve shot down a lottery twice, and our kids suffer for it. While Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida enjoy wonderful school systems that Alabama residents help to pay for by driving to the borders to buy lottery tickets. That lack of progression also robs Alabama of its best & brightest. At least 8 of my college buddies left the state to teach because they paid more, but they all would have preferred to stay home.
Much like Obama, though, I think Chuck will find resistance from the old guard. Just like Obama’s been getting the cold shoulder from Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton, Chuck will have that same problem with the career politicians here. I’ve heard him speak many times about how he can’t invest any of his money back into Alabama because the decision makers lack vision.

Georgia has a wonderful school system? Are you sure you’re not talking about the Republic of Georgia?

That clip re-affirmed to things for me: Charles is awesome and Wolf Blitzer is a corporate shill.
