FIRST! And..I WANT one!!!
May 4th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
3…2..1…political fight start now
May 4th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I wonder if they’ll give Mitt Romney the first ring when they win a couple more in the next four years?
May 4th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
2) I know right? I can’t believe I got in before the conservative redneck butthurt.
May 4th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
number 3, obama is going to kill mitt romney in November
May 4th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
Is Hood retarded?
May 4th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
One ring to rule them all!
May 4th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Barry is a complete idiot when he has to speak on the fly. The guy is a complete clown that has pussified this country.
May 4th, 2012 at 7:52 pm
No doubt, he’ll probably do away with elections by October.
May 4th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Anyone who was dumb enough to vote for this boob should be shot in the face.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
Deepblue, are you saying all conservatives are rednecks? Funny how libs lump people into little groups. Many have no clue how retarded they are. Oh well, Obama will give the ring to some “poor, mistreated Louisville fans”. Ya know, because it’s unfair UK is so good.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
It seems strange they made him one. I got no issues with it, I just don’t get why he got one. I had no idea someone outside of the actual team got one. No different than some random dude in the front office at the NY Giants getting one, just seems weird.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Obama will get a ring for #9 and #10 and #11 AND #12! It’s dynasty time. Re-elect Obama and make him put Nerlens as Vice President.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
That was pretty good and I enjoyed his face when he got the ring.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
Well now Osama has it all. The caddy (air force one), the crib and now the BLING.
Unfortunately, all gifts while remain property of the U.S. citizens. So at least it will not be sold on EBay.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Obama fits right in with group, he’s ‘one and done’ too.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
15) Richie Farmer should tell Obama how to roll
May 4th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Thats disgusting.
May 4th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
16) Excellent! Exceptional!
May 4th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
Will Obama have to give it back when Uk title gets taken away?
May 4th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
I love it….you big blue rednecks can suck it. Our players love him and most of the country (at least 52%) do as well….Mitt is a corporate whore who will sell his soul (and the rest of us) to corporate Amercia to be president (yeah right Mittens..”corporations are people”).
If you all are too stupid to realize that Obama is fighting for ALL of us, and the Repubs only to enrich themselves and their corporate masters….then to hell with ya!
Obama 2012
May 4th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
The country is in the shape it’s in because of George W. Bush. Period. Fight two unnecessary at the very time you cut taxes that makes it impossible ot pay for the wars.
Wait, Haliburton got paid.
Just talk basketball. You don’t know history or the truth.
May 4th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Obama needs to find himself another job. But all the bleeding heart liberals out there will make sure to vote this idiot in again. I want something for nothing thats todays mentality. Oh well. I don’t feel like wasting my breath. Ted Nugent knows best.
May 4th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
Kiss his ring crybaby conservatives.
May 4th, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Liberals blow goats.
May 4th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Boy this must be killing all the ignorant rightwing rednecks that (unfortunately) make up 95% of this state. Go Wildcats and Obama 2012.
May 4th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
Agree with 21,24 and 26. It’s sad a lot of the BBN are also republicans, can’t stand conservatives. OBAMA 2012. Go CATS!
May 4th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Hate to bust your bubbles gentlemen, but Obama will win by a landslide. All you need is commen sense to know he will win. I think getting into these stupid political fights are petty. You are on a KENTUCKY SPORTS RADIO BLOG. This isn’t Kentucky political blog, so please stop this petty stuff.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:02 pm
You libs can talk all you want because Barry will lose Kentucky.All the electoral votes go to the winner.So you WILL be voting Republican anyway. I know that has to suck for you.Thanks for your support.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
#22 If that’s so.Clinton cause 9-11. He gave the order not to kill BIN- Laden because he would declare war on AL-Quida! Guess you forgot that history. Obamas had 3 and a half years to end the wars I guess Bush is to blame for Obama extending Bushes same war plan.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Today I can tolerate Barry.
I applaud the President for hosting the Cats.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
Obama sucks. He was not qualified to do anything more than be a fluffer in a gay p@rn movie.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
I have never read such ridiculous and ignorant comments in my life.I agree to keep politics out of the sport.But you obummer supporters are as ignorant and blind as a Louisville fan.You don’t want a leader.You want a mommy and daddy.Go suck your thumbs and wait for your free stuff from the bolshevik.Kyrobman no.23 is correct.The mentality of the left is hate,fear,and I’m entitled to everything.If its going to be a landslide that will be Romney in victory.But with all the illegals and no voter id.Anything is possible.Our liberties and country are being “fundamentally changed” for the worse.If captai obvious can’t see that this President is making the wealthy wealthier.And the middle class being downgraded,then your a blind befuddled fool.A useful idiot as Stalin use to say.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
I don’t like Obama but I agree with 31. This is the tradition of the NC going to the White House so I’m glad our team got to go.I couldn’t think of a finer group to represent our state. I have no problem with the ring. It’s more a gesture to the office than the man like him or not. The POTUS is a office not anyone person.
May 4th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
That is obamas first brush with greatness….maybe some will rub off on him. I wouldn’t give him a ring he will just redistribute it to the 99 percent. We are kentucky and yes we are the one percent….see liberals it isn’t so bad…..it is okay to be great you don’t have to apologize for it.
May 4th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
i promise you all that uk basketballs biggest private donors, will definately not be voting for barry!!!! go mitt!
May 4th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Disregard Fox News. Acquire rational perspective on world.
May 4th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
Boy, a lot of Republitards in the comment section. Does it bother you guys that probably every player and coach that met the Prez today will vote for him in the election? Certainly most. The current version of Republicans in power are u-g-l-y, unless of course you are a corporate donor. So are you guys gonna start calling the UK players commies and libs or whatever easy and incorrect term you are told to use? Good luck with that.
May 5th, 2012 at 12:22 am
I cannot believe we are still throwing rocks at the only brethren we have (each other) while the political whores are owning our dignity.
Obama is a clown. Romney is as well of a different class. They are all bought and paid for WAY before they ever reach DC.
The system broke so hard and fast that no one noticed when it stopped working.
“They” won – all we care about now is making sure that the one we hate more doesn’t win.
Proper representation died in this country when we stopped making our own goods and controlling our own destiny.
Democracy leads to entitlement – entitlement leads to complacency – mass entitlement and complacency lead to socialism. It is the only eventuality we have based on the current climate.
May 5th, 2012 at 12:38 am
So extending unemployment insurance in the face of a near-depression is socialism? Where exactly did Obama get his Socialist tendencies? Hawaii? As an 8-year old in Socialist(?) Indonesia? Harvard? Romney has two degress from Havard so I guess he is a double Socialist …
. The Dems have plenty of warts but the Republicans are actually quite treasonous at the moment. They vote against bills they’ve supported in the past and openly, I said openly, say their goal is to make Obama a one term prez. To hell with the country, let’s just get power back. Make right wing hate radio mad, open up a book or do some independent research.
May 5th, 2012 at 12:52 am
I wonder how many people complaining about corporations even batted an eye when they voted into office the previous congress who, with the help of Obama, created the single most destructive piece of legislation in American political history, forever changing the relationship between citizen and the government. They voted into office people who stripped us of the right to decide whether we, as individuals, will live or die.
But by all means, keep calling those who oppose such Tyranny rednecks. It is my sincere hope that there are enough “rednecks” left in this nation to reverse the damage that progressivism has wrought upon our country over the last century. It is my sincere hope the country has enough time to recover from this.
May 5th, 2012 at 1:45 am
#40….unemployment “insurance” as you call it is socialism. It is redistribution by the government. Taking from those that are working to give to those that are not. That is the definition of socialism….redistribution. You are obviously not very educated on politics.
May 5th, 2012 at 5:16 am
42 and the other ‘conservatives’ would rather have the masses of unemployed panhandling in the streets, robbing liquor stores and breaking into his home so they can feed their children. Not to mention what it would do to the economy if all those people stopped buying things.
Honestly, you people are dopes.
May 5th, 2012 at 5:18 am
#42…maybe you should learn what unemployment insurance is. You pay it while you’re employed and it’s only available to people that were employed and lost their job. SO moron the people drawing it paid into it.
May 5th, 2012 at 5:22 am
What’s so satisfying is all the young black kids that won the championship for the university are delighted to meet the 1st black president of the US. It’s only the redneck, racist, rightwing rednecks that have a problem with it.
May 5th, 2012 at 8:21 am
I am encouraged by the pro Obama people coming out of the closet today. Maybe the voters in Kentucky are not as deluded as previously thought. Our citizens have long been tricked into voting against their own best interests by the powerful monied special interest folks who use trival issues to distract and divide us. Keep the people poor, uneducated, unhealthy, and enslaved and you can have your way with them.
May 5th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Catcher’s Mitt – belongs to a cult.
May 5th, 2012 at 8:44 am
For many moons now, Sean Hannity is and has been the Tokyo Rose of the republican admin. He is the ultimate political whore.
May 5th, 2012 at 8:53 am
All you obama bashers are missing the point of today. It was about our awesome wildcats getting to be congratulated by the president of the united states. They were in awe. Do not diminish it for them, for today it is about them and not your political opinions.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:20 am
good point #49, it was a day they’ll be able to take with them for the rest of their lives. The good memories are what are cherished as time passes by.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:40 am
@12 some random guy in the NY Giants does get a Super Bowl ring. they aren’t as gaudy as the ones the players, coaches, and owner(s) get, but everybody in the organization gets a ring. President Obama got one because he’s the POTUS. every year, the NCAA Champs present the President with a unique gift. Cal decided it should be a championship ring. that’s it, that’s all.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:43 am
@44 actually, workers don’t pay into unemployment insurance. employers do. the big myth with that is “it’s my money. i worked for it.” and that’s false. it was never your money.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:52 am
44….thanks for the laugh. Unemployment is not paid for by individuals. The employers and state share costs. You have to love the clueless experts…..always the loudest and most opinionated.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:59 am
44, You are wrong about how unemployment works and even if u were correct would u really want the govt to be ur safety net. Do you really want them taxing everyone to subsidize the few that lose their job or do you think each person should be responsible for the self (I know what a foreign concept…..self accountability). Trust me if the govt were to run the unemployment tax you speak of….u could individually buy separate insurance for a lot cheaper.
May 5th, 2012 at 11:02 am
Obama, it will be great to see you as a one and done as well.
May 5th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
I think it’s stupid to give a President a ring.
May 5th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
The political drivel presented here has a forum and KSR is not it…Please take those discussions to an appropriate site…this was a great day and event for ALL of KY regardless of race,creed,gender or political affiliation…Remember,as UK fans we are all Bozo’s on the same Big Blue Bus…GO CATS!!!
May 5th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
I’m less than shocked to see not a single coherent argument to support Obama and his policies. All I hear is name-calling and appeals to emotion. True conservatives speak about the sanctity of the individual and the responsibilities that come with liberty. True conservatism speaks truth to the unlimited power and tyrannical nature inherent in the current state of our federal government and seeks to restore our unalienable rights granted to us by our creator.
Leftist statists generally aren’t intelligent enough to explain thier positions and when pressed they argue against individual liberty and for tyrannical authoritarianism.
May 6th, 2012 at 1:01 am
No.58/Logic says.You nailed it perfectly.Well put.
