Either way, its sad and completely pathetic. | |

| The sad fact is that there are a few people in ky that let race dictate their views. I am not one of them however some of the policies obama is trying to get legislated will absolutely wreck our state. Cap and trade would destroy ky and make us a welfare state. So I don't think its all racially motivated but some of it is. Quote:

| So in his explanation he says he was going to send it to Obama as part of a gift package that included his new book. He wanted to spread the word of Blue Nation into the White House. If that is true, then his teaser post picture of him and the jersey makes no sense. "Hey, look what present I am sending the President." What?
I think he was making an attempt at being a huge p r i c k by showing how confident he is that UK is going to win the National Championship in men's bb this year. Where does the National Champ team visit after winning the championship? The White House. What does the National Champ team present to the President at that time? Ahh, a team jersey with the President's name on the back.
That is supreme confidence and I give him mega points for that. However, it appears that the negative publicity has caused him to back off the true reason for teasing UK fans with the pic in the first place. His given explanation is weak and doesn't add up. | |

| I'm torn...
On one hand, the notion that they are racist just because they object this because it's Obama is retarded and pretty much sums up the retarded state of mind this country is in when it comes to racism.
On the other hand, I hate Kentucky. | |

On the other hand, I hate Kentucky. | Case in point. Lets hate the president and yell racial slurs because he wears a jersey from our school....
But lets forgive, love and praise a coach who impregnated another mans (future) wife in a restaurant and then give her an abortion.
Being an African American is certainly much more of a sin, and overall blashpemy than the latter.
This is the world we live in. | |
