Let's see… Obama has been too busy going on vacation, filling out NCAA brackets, causing racial division, promoting health care, commenting on basketball, and other non-presidential duties. He shouldn't be a thinking man, he should be a president that LISTENS TO AMERICA(as dictated by Fox News and the 50+ right wing radio kooks). Social Security, the GI Bill, civil rights laws, and Medicare were all criticized back in history by those who live in the past, and by those who only view fairness from their place of privilege. Obama has no place in this controversy with Sterling, and no matter what he says or does, its won't change the fact that Sterling is a sugar daddy, a racist and a mean-spirited creepy old dude who doesn't belong anywhere near a NBA Arena or a team.
why wasnt riley cooper banned from the nfl? he went on a microphone at a concert full of people and was blatantly racist? it was ok because hes just a young drunk player? let the old man pay his fines and community service and whatever bs rehabilitation and go on with it just like every other time something like this happens
Check your math on government spending and I don't care republican or democrat who started it.....simple math, BALANCE THE CHECKBOOK. And Obama has not and he is every bit to blame as anyone else he's done nothing but spend more than any other and save your breath...a Sterling thread is not worth 50 posts so I'm done here and I don't need a history lesson. People need to quit hiding behind republican and democrat and demand a different government. A Constitutional Convention by the States is in order if the present system can't balance a checkbook.
There's an entire industry devoted to feeding narratives to weak minded people in an attempt to fuel hatred of the President. I'm truly saddened to learn that you've taken the bait.
That industry basically wants you to get outraged when answers are given to specific questions from the press and at the same time also get outraged that he doesn't answer questions they don't ask.
And this industry is making billions off of folks who are positive, absolutely positive that Obama is a muslim, socialist, revolutionary traitor who was born outside the U.S. Obama, like Bush, are not GOD- they're greatly limited in power and in influence of world or national affairs. Scapegoats are just that…scapegoats.
The Politically Correct Crowd is sure gleefully picking the carcass of Donald Stirling:
Wrote Michael Powell of Sterling: He stands “exposed as a gargoyle, disgorging racial and sexual animosities so atavistic as to take the breath away.”
Finally getting his breath back, Powell went on:
“The Clippers players and coaches are no doubt mortified to have awakened in the midst of a playoff run to find that they are working for the Bull Connor of Southern California.”
Is America still a serious country?

Look, the guy bought the team years ago and has done far worse things than getting caught on tape saying a few sentences to a whore who probably had an agenda. The media has all of these past incidents that are far worse now, yet nothing was done then. And if anyone heard Larry Johnson this morning, he confirmed a conversation with The White House. The issue is not fining his ass, the issue is not banning him for life.....he deserves that and more. The issue is setting a precedent that someone can take away your property based on a sentence or two....because prior to this he was getting awards and people were taking donations. Everyone should stand behind black players but no one should stand behind bad comments from Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley, because they act like they can say what they damn well please.
What should be done is every advertiser should go to the Clippers and say we're done unless he's gone. Every black player and coach both present and future should say we will never work for this team as long as he is owner, and let the dumb ass man decide for himself whether he wants to sell now or ride it into the ground under his new terms with the NBA. But NO MAN should have his property taken away based on his opinion on blacks, gays, God, Immigration, or anything. It sets an dangerous precedent, it won't take place without the courts, and will simply take racial strains to the highest level in years. And on the Sale, the man has run this team team for years regardless of his opinions and sentences on tape and he should have the opportunity to to say, I will sell for a fair and reasonable price if someone wants to pay it. You can paint him into corners with fines and penalties....but not with selling his team for .50 cents.
