In light of recent events, I don't think it is an overstatement to say that this could be the single most important piece of news to ever make-way on to the front page of this prestigious website.*Obama has issued a statement concerning the matter, and I think that it is imperative that we all take a moment to just consider the sheer gravity of the situation.....
Lebron James' free agency.
That's right. As I was perusing a few different news websites, I found that on one in particular, the headline story was about what President Obama had to say concerning Lebron's potential Free-agency.In what world do we live in, where not only does the President have time to issue official statements concerning a basketball player's maybe free-agency, but where that is THE TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY.
I mean really? Is there really nothing better going on in the world?** Surely there is something more important for the leader of the free world to do than sit around talking to sports reporters about random hypotheticals about sports figures?
When did the "great minds" of the day switch from discussing philosophy and politics, to celebrities and athletes?
President Obama has a proverbial Smörgåsbord
of political issues going on in the homeland right now. I can't comprehend how he has so much time to kick his feet up an shoot the bull. No doubt some of you will say every president has embraced this to some extent, but none on such a public, and extensive platform.
I just hope Mr. President is as skilled at selecting allies as he is at determining the integrity of a sports team.***

** Surely we can at least run another article about Lady Gaga being a hermaphrodite; that just seems like an endless well of news gold.
*** That's right, I said it!!!
