Well while some stories of the night havent been the most upbeat (football staff changes), this one makes me happy. I was told by a source and it has since been confirmed by UK that President Obama is a fan of John Wall. President Lee Todd was in Washington DC this week for an education event and was pulled aside by the President to talk about his favorite sport. Obama said to Lee Todd that he liked watching John Wall and commented about how good he thought he was. I am sure at some point UK will give the exact quotes of the encounter, but the overall theme was that the President has noticed John Wall and he is a fan.
And some of you thought sending that jersey was a mistake? Proceed to argue incessantly about politics in the comments. I will instead be happy that the Leader of the Free World likes watching one of our players.

That is pretty cool.

Indeed, this is awesome.

Best post made here in a long time.

John Wall is the winner for 2010. Boogie was neck and neck with him until the whole forearm shiver thing.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Well , lets see him do “The John Wall” when the Health Care Package gets rammed through like wants, then we will know if he truly is a Wall fan.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
I am told George Bush is still a fan of Landon Slone though.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
I heard he loved Mike Porter, too.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Yes we can!
January 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
I spoke with Ralph Nader and he confessed to being a Tinky fanatic
January 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
True fans do the dance….I agree, once I see the dance, then I believe it!
January 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
I hear Obama has already been given the Naismith Player of the Year award.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
yawn
January 7th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
14. hilarious!
January 7th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Any john wall fan is a friend of mine…liked obama anyway though. This might make him the greatest president that ever lived though. What do you guys think?

January 7th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Damn liberal censorship. Haha
January 7th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
I’m surprised Obama isn’t a fan of Pitino. He too, can’t seem to get anything done. All show, no go!!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
22) best comment ever. chris matthews is such a tool.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Bama is gonna have to put away Kentucky-like offensive playcalling and PLAY FOOTBALL!

#9 from Texas SUCKS! 4 drops tonight.
I’d crap my pants if Obama did the John Wall dance.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:12 pm
Rut-ro, this could be bad for Wall. Teabaggers must hate everything our President is for, without exception. It’s a rule.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:12 pm
who gives a shit about what obama likes Jones? get off his nuts!!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Who gives a shit what obama thinks??????

I’m not an Obama fan, but there is no doubt that this is good for our program.

January 7th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Come on BHO, you can’t ball with a shirt tucked into track pants. Any chance Lee Todd got him to do the Wall Dance?
January 7th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Yeah who cares what the President thinks 37 and 38???? We would much rather hear from sunnycat and cat fan 4ever!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
42 its called a photo op
January 7th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
37. & 38. Most of the country – including high schoolers who are intrigued by attention like this. Glad you can think objectively – sounds like card fans to me.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
oh the hazards of dropping the logins, Mr. Jones.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Here comes a nerd fight, political style
January 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Even as a Republican I think this is awesome. Go Cats.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
What is the big deal about that? Lots of people are a fan of Wall. Lots of fans/people watch UK basketball. Do we have a point in all of this? Obama? Next!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Yeah, W had this country moving in a GREAT direction and Obama came in a messed it up.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
Yeah Matt who cares what the president of U.S.A thinks. Get off his presidential testicles.
Jesus, some people can’t get over themselves.
This great for John Wall that the president is fan. How cool is it for him. And its good for UK and good for us as fans.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
McElroy sucks tonight. Bama calling card has been their defense and ground n pound
January 7th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Additionally, I think its gotta be a really cool feeling to know (as John Wall) that the President likes to watch you play basketball. Great job Cal at giving us POTUS attention. Not only is UK back, we’re going to be bigger than before. Great for Wall.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Yes #49 and the President is one of them…and that is cool
January 7th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
It seems like matt jone cant go more than a couple of months without putting up ANYTHING about obama on this site
January 7th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Why wasn’t anybody boxing him out! I don’t care if he is the President, box his ass out! I’m gonna throw a chair.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Yeah you are right…it is SOOOOOO irrelevant for me to talk about the most powerful person in the world liking a UK player. I must be a socialist
January 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
49. If we make it to the Final Four and the legend grows (which both should happen) even the Pres. will come watch us play. THAT would be cool.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
56. Ha ha, you almost put me to tears
January 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm

President Obama may be a disaster, but he’s still the elected leader of our country. Heck, if Hugo Chavez said he was a John Wall fan, it’d still be kinda cool. !Viva el Muro!

January 7th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Matt, you’re not a socialist for mentioning it, just a drinker of the kool-aid. And you’re wrong. I am the most powerful person in the world, because I’m the one pulling the strings!!

This just in, Kim Jong Il has just beaten John Wall in a game of 32 tip, 1 hand put backs off the rim only. The score was 32-0 of course.

Matt, how dare YOU talk about Obama on YOUR site? Don’t you know that KSR is ONLY about Kentucky sports? I mean, c’mon…to think you can say what you want to on your own site. That’s some nerve!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
63 you are a complete idiot….why don’t you move your sorry butt to Venezuela
Meanwhile…alabama is collapsing before our very eyes….down to 3 with 6 minutes against a true freshman quarterback…come on sec
January 7th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Its not censorship unless the government does it. LEARN.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Obama should prove his love for me by showing up at the game on Saturday with his UK jersey on.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
I’m also a fan of Wall! Where is my press:(
January 7th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Clearly this is a plot to indoctrinate Lee Todd and the entire student body. My kid will be boycotting class until further notice.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
I wish Obama would give Wall his “Stay in School” speech.

Matt, don’t delete 82. That is awesome and ironically, should be what is posted in response of Syrin and Sunnycat.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
86 (or what used to be 86), now that is funny!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
don’t say Obama sucks, it will be deleted….in other news, saying Conservatives, Republicans, and Teabaggers suck is perfectly acceptable.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
John Wall is the best because Obama says he is. End of story. Stop talking Wolfe. Just look at the bags under my eyes and believe whatever garbage I spew.

Musberger just said “defender cam in unmolested”…good to know TX players do not molest other players
January 7th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
jeez some people are just rabidly stupid… it was a post about the president being a fan of a KENTUCKY player… we should be glad that wall is getting all this exposure
January 7th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Not that it matters and I didn’t look to see if someone else posted this, but we’re currently winning with 38% of the vote in CBSSports.com’s “Which team is the best in the country?” college basketball poll. Kansas is 2nd with 20%. So, a) Big Blue Nation has found another poll to dominate, b) people think highly of our basketball team, or c) both.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:54 pm

January 7th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
103) thanks for proving my point. rabidly stupid.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:59 pm
Gilbert and Mike Hartline had a similar game against Bama.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:00 am
Yeah. Musburger mentions Kentucky & Tebow getting “Wyndam’ed”

January 8th, 2010 at 12:07 am

January 8th, 2010 at 12:09 am
Obama jinx!!!! I hope not but he has screwed everything else up!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Who’s is less impressed with their respective, undefeated teams: Saban or Cal? Saban just won his 2nd championship and he couldn’t seem less excited.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:11 am
Do we really care about this national championship game and not the one in April? just kidding, 4 in a row for the SEC, lets make it 5 with UK in basketball this year!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:12 am
I wish Obama could bail me out.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:12 am
I’m not a big Obama fan, but this is pretty cool. I bet John thinks so too.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:14 am
Jimmy Carter is so happy Barry was elected. Now he won’t be the worst President ever. BHO has that sewed up in less than a year with his mega turd government run health care and actual unemployment at around 20%.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:16 am
GO SEC
ROLL TIDE
January 8th, 2010 at 12:17 am
108 – Saban must have felt tremendous pressure and is just relieved that it’s over and bama won.

Can’t stand Prez. Barry! However after saying that (Whew, and boy did it feel good.), it is great PR and post worthy when the President of the USA makes it a point to throw some love UK/John Wall’s way. People who think otherwise are simpletons indeed. Nice find Matthew Jones.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:19 am
112- Don’t you get it, we wanted government run health care, this was the compromise to you all.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:20 am
What the Hell did I just say?
January 8th, 2010 at 12:23 am
There is nothing quite like a KSR comments section after anything political is mentioned. Wonderful stuff! I can only imagine what got deleted.
I will not be happy until Obama plays a pick-up game in the Craft Center next summer with Lebron and they both do the John Wall dance!
And I agree mostly with the comment about this is what happens when you do not have to register to comment!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:25 am

U guys should check out fija.org. Jury nullification is a brilliant stalwart of liberty given to us by the Founders that allows one ordinary person the ability to veto Unconstitutional laws and thus overule Congress, the President, and corrupt judges who will not inform the juries of this knowledge. Their (color of law) phony legislation means nothing if We The People are informed!

January 8th, 2010 at 12:34 am
I was just wondering the other day how long it would take before Obama said something about Wall. How cool. Two of my favorite people. I bet Wall likes Obama too. I have wondered in the past if Kentucky being one of the most conservative places on earth hurt our recruiting, but now that Cal is here, I don’t think it will be a problem. Who knows, Kentucky might even finally get in step with the other 99% of the world.

I don’t think the NCAA wants to gain the notice of the POTUS due to their negligence and lunacy.

January 8th, 2010 at 12:40 am
My friends, I am a fan of John Wall. However, it has come to my attention that it is once again time for change – I am therefore putting the venerable Bob Knight in charge as Czar of Player Fairness.
As his first act, Czar Knight will relocate points and assists from stellar players like John Wall to those in need, because we cannot have any one basketball team succeeding of its own volition more than another. It’s simply not fair unless we insert ourselves where we aren’t wanted and much things up with a multi-trillion dollar bill. Normally I’d leave the legislation to Teddy but, well, you know..
January 8th, 2010 at 12:42 am
106, no, we don’t miss you. I hope to see you prosecuted for your war crimes and your criminal negligence of the economy.

Gitmo is still open, we’re surging into Afghanistan, the economy is in shambles, not helped by the multi-hundred-billion dollar legislation I’m putting into law, and you think Georgie was a bad leader?
Hey, at least Bush had the internet bubble burst and 9/11 to lean on. I have got no excuse.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:57 am
Jones, your boy Obama needs to worry about our shitty economy and letting terrorists with explosives on our planes whether than on our basketball team… man i wish George W.

January 8th, 2010 at 1:18 am
This wasn’t a post about his policies!! Yall made it that way
January 8th, 2010 at 1:19 am
I don’t like Obama, but c’mon you have to admit that this is cool. same with the jersey. don’t be too stubborn to find joy in a cool story like this (although i’ll believe it when he does the dance) Don’t hold back Lawdog

January 8th, 2010 at 1:31 am
A multitude of marxist Unconstitutional Czars, support for marxist in Hondurus, shakes hands and kisses up with Chavez, listens to a 50 minute anti-american diatribe by Ortega, lies about transparency and most everything including a vast variety of special interest groups in cabinet, participates in corparate and bank welfare unconstitutionally, takes over private companies, fires heads of private companies, bypasses normal bankrupcy proceedings and give unions control over private companies, sits as the head of the UN Security Council as the first President to do such because it violates the Titles of Nobility Clause, nominates Hillary as Sec. of State in violation of the Emoluments Clause, sets salaries of private companies, abuse of Executive Orders, advocates for a unconstitutional health care bill that will compell performance in purchasing health care or be fined and locked up thus totally violating liberty, advocates a cap and tax global warming bill that is unconstitutional and will in his words cause electricity bills to necessarily skyrocket. Further, any company who produces excess carbon will be forced to pay more in taxes and therefore the price of everything u purchase will go up tremendously. Also, the tremedously irresponsible spending and bailouts will most probably lead to heavy inflation which destroys purchasing power and is quite regressive, which means the poor and middle class will be impoverished greatly. The Federal Reserve Bank is not Federal and they dont have reserves. They r a independent banking cartel controlling the business cycle and can therefore create busts and booms. America no longer has real money. Even our money is unconstitutional as it is supposed to be controlled by Congress and be backed by gold or silver. In closing, we are in deep trouble as a nation. Read the 5000 year leap, a miracle that changed the world and the Creature from Jeckyll Island. The solution to our vast and mountanous problems is to return to the Constitution and it’s principles. The false promises of utopian socialism lead to bankrupcy, misery, poverty, and millions of dead innocent people. Wake up before it is to late! The number one rule of politics is do not believe what they say about change or anything else, believe what they have done or how they have voted, and when a lot of your associates are communists, socialists, marxists, and the like, that says something about his real philosophy.
January 8th, 2010 at 1:34 am
Obama is a beast!
January 8th, 2010 at 1:36 am
so if Obama let the terrorists on the plane with explosives does that mean W let the terrorists knock down the towers in 2001? Good logic.
January 8th, 2010 at 1:46 am
I do not mean to just single out Obama but every politician who takes a sworn oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. He has a lot of company in violating the Constitution which means undermining a republican type of government. This is treason and although you may think it is extreme, if you are undermining the Constitution what else would u call it. When I say republican I mean we are supposed to be a republic not a democracy. The Founders detested democracy or mob rule. A republic on the other hand, a minority is protected by the Constitution against the majority. A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting over what to have for dinner. A republic is a well armed sheep contesting the vote. Folks, the Founders gave us a Bill of Rights, not privileges. These rights are unalienable meaning they r given by God and cannot be morally or lawfully taken away by beaurocrats. They keep making these laws which if not in persuance or agreement with the Constitution, r phony color of law only and should be null and void. These r my opinions. I am not a attorney and do not give legal advice. However, I am no sheep and we all need to wake up before we wake up one day and realize we have no rights left.
January 8th, 2010 at 2:04 am
We must abandon this left-right paradigm and embrace the principles of the Consitution given to us miraculously by the Founders with divine interfereance. An example is prescription drugs entitlement program and also the so called patriot act. I typically agree with the right on most issues but I am appaled by both of these and therefore cannot support people who r for this. The patriot act allows the Feds to sneak and peak into ur home without ur knowledge and even implant listening devices if of course if u r a terrorist suspect. They can detain u without habeous corpus rights as a enemy combatant, listen to ur conversations with counsel, obtain library records, listen to phone calls, monitor internet usage, and even take property without due process. Now if u dont think this is ripe for abuse then I got some moon dust to sell you. Little by little they incrementally take away our rights. I dont care if it is a Republican or a Democrat doing it, I detest anyone who is not faithful to that solemn oath. Educate yourself and demand canidates who speak of, and have a record of faithfullness to our Consitution because as the saying goes freedom is only one generation away from extinction.

If Obama is a John Wall fan… THEN GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has us closer to communism then we have ever been, and if you support him/that… then GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOU!!!!!

Come on folks, I agree what Obama is doing to this country is an abomination (ObamaNation), but u have to agree that it must be exciting for John Wall to be noticed by the President. This young man is realizing his dreams right before our eyes and we should be proud of him.
I just wish Obama would mix in a few Homeland Security briefings with his college basketball and Hawaii vacations.
January 8th, 2010 at 2:53 am
This site is full of retards… The president of the USA said he is a fan of a UK player… Doesn’t matter who the President is and doesn’t matter who the player is… This is good for OUR TEAM the University of Kentucky… Some of you definitely abuse our freedom of speech, just spew straight ignorant hatred… BTW I’m not a Obama supporter, its just my honest opinion. Don’t fit the stereotype of being a dumb redneck…
January 8th, 2010 at 2:54 am
160, even though I love UK basketball and John Wall is certainly awesome, my love for liberty and freedom is great and the fact that it is being dismantled before me is reason enough to rant. I want UK to be the best program or should I say maintain that status, but what good will that do me if the country I love, the one everybody wants to come to for a better life, is turned into a defacto marxist police state?

John Wall is really good and he would have made our Fiddlin’ Five even better.
January 8th, 2010 at 3:34 am
Wasn’t there a rumor earlier on that he was actually going to play with some of the guys from the team? I read that in the Courier-Journal and haven’t seen anything come of it. But would love to see Obama and the boys play some pick-up.

January 8th, 2010 at 4:27 am
–I wouldn’t say this is as much good for Wall/UK than it is beneficial for Obama. (since we’re being political) Just like it’s in a presidential candidate’s best interest to proclaim his devotion to his faith, it’s also in everyone’s best interest to proclaim their love and devotion to John Wall.
–At first I was surprised by the amount of vitriol in responses to Matt’s post, but then I remembered “Oh yeah, I live in Kentucky–not exactly a bastion of progressive thinking.
–I love when the comment-ers say “Liking Wall is a good decision by Obama, god knows he’s messed everything else up.” As if the state of the economy, health care, foreign affairs, or (insert anything that’s actually important to the US here) was in good, or even acceptable condition when Obama took office. You may try to defend yourself by saying, “Well, I didn’t approve of W. either,” but I GUARANTEE you complained approximately zero percent as much about GWB as you now do about Obama. Cognitive dissonance, anyone?
–As for the “Liberty or Death” guy, I think I speak for many in saying TL;DR. I mean Jesus Christ man, do you just find every webpage on the internet that even mentions or is superficially related to Obama/politics, and then overload the comments section with extremely long, rambling, conservative political diatribes?
Sorry my comment is also long, I just had to get this out.

165: What’s EMBARASSING about how many far-right Republicans we have is that most of them can’t even tell you why they’re Republican aside from “Well my purrents were Ree-pubbleekans”, “I dont want no one takin my guns”, or the dreaded “If ya don’t like Amurricuh you can git out, Ree-pubbleekans are the party for Amurricuh”. I’m a Republican that hasn’t voted for a Republican in 10 years because they’re so unintelligent and out of touch with modern day America. They have lost touch with their party values (I want LESS federal government, but there aren’t any Republicans that actually run with the constitution and their party beliefs in mind), and I for one think it has hurt the view of Republicans for them to be so anti-intellectual thought. Sarah Palin? REALLY?! The Democrats are just smarter, and thankfully, the smart (and black) people turned out in waves for this past presidential election. Republican or not, John McCain and Sarah Palin were literally TOO DUMB to be POTUS and VPOTUS.
Give us a smart Republican in congress that STICKS TO HIS GUNS (PUN INTENDED HUR HUR HUR) – vote Rand Paul (R) for Senator! That’s the type of intelligent politicians we need all across the country. Instead of bashing on Obama, figure out a way you can help your country by voting for non-career politicians in your Senate and House races.
January 8th, 2010 at 6:35 am
Democrats are no better.
And it’s SECEDE!!!
not succeed
dumbass
January 8th, 2010 at 6:45 am
So Obama likes John Wall and thinks he’s a good player? WOW!!! I wonder if you like puppies, and kittens, and good weather too? Out of all the players in all of college basketball he picks our little Johnny to like. Amazing!!! I say let’s drop the coal company and build the new Wildcat Lodge with some of that crazy “Economic Recovery” money he’s throwin’ around!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 6:50 am
For those of you can only think sports – all the time, let me throw out an analogy: it’s kind of like Obama plays on the other team… not just any team, but the hated rival (let’s say puke), who the year before decimated your team (not a perfect analogy because we’re not exactly happy with our team either – can you say BCG). Not only does he play, but he is the hated star of that team (let’s say Christian L.) Now, if we see Obama in that light (and, btw, we see him much as worse than this) then why would we give flip if he was a fan of our beloved John Wall? We would hate him and resent that his mug is on the great KSR site. We would hate him because he wants all points, rebounds, and assists to go through the all powerful and overreaching NCAA and be evenly distributed to all teams and players – after he kept some for himself and his friends.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:00 am
I hate republicans that go around screaming socialism. What’s funny, the last moron we had in office committed 3 of the BIGGEST acts of socialism since FDR New Deal. But Obama’s a socialist. hahahahahahaha
January 8th, 2010 at 7:00 am
OBAMA IS BRINGING DOWN THE DEMONCRAT PARTY, DON’T LET HIM BRING DOWN THE CATS TOO!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 7:02 am
Please KSR don’t become an ignorant liberal spokesperson via your sports blog!!! I enjoy KSR and read every single day, but it’s no different than being at work, you don’t speak of religion or politics as they have no place in news or discussion of sports. Please keep it simple and fun without conversation of ignorant, socialistic, liberal agendas. Thanks!
January 8th, 2010 at 7:11 am
This is the first thing Obama has gotten right. How is that Hoax and Chains working for everybody so far?
January 8th, 2010 at 7:13 am
186 – I agree totally. Let KSR be the one place where we can go to focus on the thing that unites us – all things Big Blue! Having said that, I do agree that Matt just had to post this, and it is a shame that Obama (and Bush) are just so polarizing.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:18 am
186, please no liberal spokesperson? hahaha but i’m sure you slurp on a george w hot dog though, wouldn’t you?
January 8th, 2010 at 7:21 am
you people are ignorant, the man inherited the worst economic mess in 77 years, and you expect him to fix it in one? it took bush 8 years to get us in this mess, and its going to take longer then one year to get us out

This is great news- and it can only help recruiting. I wish Obama would come to a game, but I’m afraid certain UK fans would actually boo the President for coming. I really like that our President is a fan of basketball and a fan of UK.

January 8th, 2010 at 7:37 am
All of you repubs, do me a favor. Go to your job, ask your company to quit paying your medical insurance, because techincally that’s ‘socialist”. Pay for it your damn self, you got a job

Boy do I feel better now. He likes Nancy Polosi too.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:40 am
I hope the players don’t visit this site and read this stuff because it would give them too much insight into their fanbase. When you look in the stands at Kentucky you see nothing but pasty white people and when you look on the floor you see diversity. I bet some of the players wonder, do Kentucky fans include any blacks, hispanics, or other ethnic groups. As for the right-wing drivel on here, I find it utterly amazing some of the stuff you come up with. You should start your own right-wing nut University and support their team.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:42 am
John Wall would make a better president than Obama. As for me fan of Wall, not a fan of Obama.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:43 am
203- i wonder how many UK fans would turn on John Wall for being a democrat?
January 8th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Ah, how cute, someone used the term “spew ignorant hatred”. Anything that the liberal left doesn’t want to hear, they call hate speech, The variations of the term “spewing hate” is used over and over and over again towards anyone who says anything the liberal left doesn’t want to hear or would like to keep the rest of America from hearing.
I am actually thankful that Kentucky is as conservative as it is and it just boggles my mind how so many Americans are letting Obama, Pelosi and Harry Reid send this country into the toilet and seemingly, no one cares.
I don’t care if Obama likes Wall. For Wall, it’s a neat thing that the president knows his name I guess. It’s cool for him. But to me, it doesn’t mean much for the university.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:46 am
204- really? John Wall a better president than Obama? Not. But Wall would be better than Bush. “brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”
January 8th, 2010 at 7:53 am
I love John Wall! I served in Vietnam! Can I get me a huntin’ license here?

209- Atleast he served, while Bush was snortin blow off some rich girl’s toosh
January 8th, 2010 at 7:55 am
202) Since being a conservative just automatically means you are a racist. Why is it that a liberal always resorts to race? In Bill Brasky’s honest opinion, when you resort to race, you automatically lose any debate/argument.

January 8th, 2010 at 8:07 am

January 8th, 2010 at 8:16 am
206 – I think nearly anyone would be a better President than Obama. The ONLY thing he’s gotten right sense taking office is liking John Wall. He’s going to make Jimmy Carter look like Abraham Lincoln before he’s finished.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:21 am
john wall will definitely not be a fan of obama once he gets nba money

Yeah I sorta dont think its a big deal OTHER than we now have good players again. You think if Obama saw Urban Meyer he might say “That Tebow is a good football player.” Thanks President Obvious. Bush or Obama- it doesnt get me all warm and fuzzy that he mentioned Wall like it does some on here.

January 8th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Jones knew that this would happen, which is beautiful IMO.
Whether you agree with the President on his policies is not relevant to this post. The President of the United States is a fan of one of our players. This is great for our program and great for John Wall.
The jerseys were also a great idea to boost our program’s exposure. Cal is a PR master.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Thanks but no thanks Obama. You have created enough damage. Leave John Wall alone …we want him to be a success.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:38 am
You like my policies or not, I am the President of the United States, and I just said I loved a UK player.
I can totally understand the hate! I mean, me saying this means…
January 8th, 2010 at 8:39 am
235 – don’t want to get in a politcal debate, but if Bush said this would you feel the same? Because on my scale, he is one of the reasons we are in this mess.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:41 am

January 8th, 2010 at 8:42 am
So pretty much, UK fans want to be seen and talked about on ESPN (only positives though) all day and night and UK fans spend hours upon hours tracking down UK stories, but when the most powerful person in the world says something positive, they get pissed. Yeah this totally makes sense.
If Rush Limpnoodle said he loved John Wall on the radio, I would be happy, even though I dont care much for him.

January 8th, 2010 at 8:47 am
I like how the liberals want to paint all conservatives as ignorant dicks. You can’t oppose Obama without being a racist, hate spewing redneck hilljack. Very cute.
What has the Mr. Obama done that has made our country better? Cash for clunkers? Bailing out banks? Ramming legislation down our throats with unprecedented haste? It’s hard to choose.
Just keep drinkig the kool aid kids.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:54 am
You people are ridiculous. On both sides of the argument. The President of the United States says something nice about UK’s star player and it leads to 250 comments on KSR arguing about politics.
FAIL.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I don’t see why the political debate is even continuing and I wish KSR would delete this post all together so it will stop. If you want to debate the ignorance that has gone on the previous 8 years as well as the ignorance that’s going on today and/or how the president finds time for basketball and golf in the midst of it the go to CNN or FOX respectively to complain. Can we not just get back to Basketball and our national domination or Football and give thanks that hopefully someone else will be calling the plays this coming season. This is in poor taste of KSR as they should keep this blog about KENTUCKY SPORTS and not state or national politics.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:58 am
242 – bail out bill was signed by prior administration. He has pumped more cash into the Mae’s, but the bail out bill was before Obama took office. And just so you know, all major banks have paid their monies back, except the Maes, so TARP is over. And why is that, you ask. Because this current admin put restrictions on pay and bonus of TARP particpants, therefore all executives made it priority #1 to pay that back (even if it meant no lending to help progress this country) the TARP money.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:59 am
I don’t care what Obama thinks about John Wall. Matt Jones and the guys on here are way too liberal for me.

You are right. It is sad that The President of the United States (no matter who he is) evokes this kind of polarization. Obama is not the first to do so… doesn’t look like “change” to me.

January 8th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Wow, congratulations, most of you are morons. A little insight since apparently most of you, including Jones, don’t know how a politician “works” the room. Obama is a college basketball fan, and as he walked through the crowd, his handler says “that is Lee Todd, UK’s president” and Obama then goes to him, acts like they are old friends, and glad hands him a bit and says something intelligent about Wall. Next “Look, that is (insert university president here)” and Obama then glad hands him and tells him he is a fan of their biggest star. Only Jones would run with this like it was actually something newsworthy.
January 8th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Obama is a basketball fan and likes John Wall! Wow, the next big news will be that he liked Michael Jordan as well. Keep that unbelievable info coming, Scoop.

251) No, that poster is right. The bailout was definitly signed during the last months of the bush administration because Paulson told Bush there was no way the U.S economy would survive without it. Which was true. It went against everything those 2 men had stood for during their entire political careers. Which shows you how bad we needed a bailout.

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” I guess that’s why the Kentucky Medicaid program pays for adult children to take care of their elderly parents – in their own home. With your tax dollar.

Republicans hate it when their enemy likes something they like. Who cares? Its great exposure for the UK program and John Wall. EVERYONE should be happy the President of the United States mentioned a UK player as one of his favorites- whether that President be Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Carter….etc.
This is why I hate politics- between the right wing nut jobs and the liberal loonies, you all miss the forest for the trees.

So the guy who has illegally taken over two thirds of the domestic automotive industry, tossed contract law aside, orchestrated the greatest degree of voter fraud and initimidation in US history, has covered all tracks of his past far in excess of any presidential candidate in history, attempting to illegally take over health care and mandate people buying health insurance whether they want it or not, has decreased domestic security to the point of insanity, made a full frontal assault on the US economy and business with excess spending, promises of mass taxation, crushing regulation, and unfunded mandates leading to unemployment levels only matched in the Depression era while showing no signs of transparency with all major political agendas being debated and voted on behind closed doors in the middle of the night and whose cabinet is full of tax cheats and people with open hostility to the US, and who is willing to bankrupt this nation further to avoid a global disaster that is backed by hidden, manipulated, omitted and destroyed fraudulent data that over 33,000 scientists disagree with is a John Wall fan.
Why would that be? Perhaps because his wonderful policies have led to 55% unemployment amongst those under 25 years of age, and he knows Wall will get a good job?
Keep voting against your interests children. wait til you graduate and get a taste of the real world, and not theory craft perpetuated by liberal college profs who wouldn’t last a week in the real world where one gets paid for being productive, and not getting a guaranteed tax payer funded check.

Matt must have needed hits on the site for advertising. He knows the mere mention of ol’ Hussein will bring out the worst in everyone. Let’s just say it is cool Obama knows who John Wall is. Obama, however, is not cool. Nor is he the savior of us all. That is Jesus Christ. Next up, Al Gore will defend global warming as he stands in -15 temperatures up to his balls in snow.

Under the Senate Health Plan – regardless if your employee takes health insurance or not – if their family income is within poverty guidelines – the company must pay an extra $3000 per employee. So, employers, sharpen your pencils – from now on you will only be hiring affluent workers!
January 8th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Syrin, how pathetic a human being are you, and how little of a life do you have that you feel some compulsive need to rant for more than 1000 words about your completely paranoid and no-basis-in-reality-whatsoever worldview on a small SPORTS WEB SITE? Seriously, whoever you are , I genuinely feel sorry for you, and am very thankful I don’t know you. I also hope more than anything else that people like you never are in a position to play any role in this country’s future. Oh, and again, get a life. Really. If you would write 1000+ words of dribble like this on a SPORTS WEB SITE, I shudder to think what else you do (or accomplish) in a given day. My recommendations? If you’re this angry and delusional? 1) Move to a different country. 2) Buy a gun and go try to assasinate someone. Or 3) kill yourself.
January 8th, 2010 at 10:15 am
This just in, Obama said he is a fan of Alabama football. It is amazing how this guy just goes out on a limb and keeps picking winners, first Wall, now Alabama?
January 8th, 2010 at 10:18 am
this is ridiculous….who cares if Obama likes John Wall….the rest of the nation will too. It’s cool to like the popular thing, and Wall is one of the most popular players in the nation right now (cover of SI, ESPN The Magazine’s NEXT issue) just because Obama likes him doesn’t mean anything…i’m sure Obama likes Mark Ingram too! BIG DEAL, point is…the Cats are 15-0 and anyone who didn’t cheer for us last year, shouldn’t be able to cheer for us this year, bandwagoners make me sick!

David, typical hateful liberal response. Full of hate, denying facts as they stand for both sides to see, condescending, makes repeated personal attacks against individuals, manages to commit the same behavior they claim to abhor and be above, makes violent threats with a pretentious air of intolerance.
Answer this. What is more “pathetic”? Stating well, WELL documented facts against the man for whom the topic is about despite this being a sports web site, or personally assailing another poster hoping for a violent end, something clearly off topic of a sports web site? Oh sorry, I forgot to be a lib. Let me type slower and in ways you’ll understand. VIOLENT THREATS AT SPORTS WEB SITE. There, you should feel more at home.
Typical hateful lib. Yes, we know you libs are a hateful bunch. We’ve heard your threats, name calling and all other trade marks of your party. Aren’t you late for your daily ballot box stuffing for 2012 at your ACORN chapter? As low as your guys are in the polls, you’ll need about 70 million fraudulent votes. That is assuming he’ll run again. A good number of you violent hateful libs aren’t even running for re-election. Can’t face the reality of a thorough rejection by the voters.
January 8th, 2010 at 10:37 am
How could Obama be President? We all know Acorn had to steal at least 25,000,000 votes.

Hey Weatherman, then why do you have to have an algorithm to “adjust” the data, why does the original raw data need to be destroyed, why do you toss aside data contrary to your dogma, why do they flat out drop the data from tree rings, why does the data perpetually ignore the angle of the earth’s axis at the time historic data is gathered, and why is it that cold weather is just “weather” or an aberration, but hot weather is considered “proof” of climate change? Hypocrite much?
January 8th, 2010 at 10:41 am
SexnNursinHomes- seriously? Is that really your screen name? You’re a joke, your views are a joke and the fact that you reply to everyone’s comments that don’t agree with you makes you even more of a joke. Go move to Australia where the healthcare is so great if that’s your beef.

Glen, you just need to feel the tingle in your pants that us more advanced and civilized types do. Be creative and call your opposition “teabaggers” while having a smug snide look on your face, and a huge sense of superiority. Once you adopt elitism, then we’ll talk.
January 8th, 2010 at 10:47 am
I’d argue that abnormal cold weather is just a sign of climate change as anything. When they named the situation “Warming” they made the mistake. Yes we’re warming, but it’s not just the warming that is troubling. It’s the overall change to the climate that is scarier, thus “Climate Change” would have been more appropriate.

Weatherman, please see post #313, print it off, roll it up, and shove it up your….well. You know where. I’m sure you stick things there all the time. Point being, if you don’t believe in global warming you are a conservative nutjob, right? It’s a vast right-wing conspiracy to disprove global warming. I’ll tell you right now what global warming is….Al Gore’s legacy. He didn’t get elected and he must have something for future generations to remember him by, so he got on the global warming bandwagon, made a crappy un-scientific film (not my judgement, but other scientists), was rewarded with an OSCAR and the Nobel Prize…so he has a legacy now other than having an election taken from him. Pure and simple. Climate is correct when he says data that was against the theory was discarded. Liberals hijaccked a global warming theory that had been around for years and politicized it. I have a friend who is very liberal and when I say global warming to him he immediately says “If George Bush said it existed you’d believe it.” I never mentioned Bush…he dragged that in. So don’t judge me and be all condescending by adding the “pray about it” line. UP YOURS.

Our great great great grandchildren will still be paying for his complete aborted attempt at being a president- if the country survives his retarded policies. And by the way Barack, stop bowing to other countries’ leaders especially the terrorist supporting Saudis. You look like a bigger clown than you are- well that is not possible.

Syrin, I can safely say that there is nothing more pathetic that people like you. All this anger. All this rage. Where was it the last 8 years? Oh wait, that’s right, back then people like you were completely ignoring Republican runaway federal spending, the exploding debt and deficit, major underlying problems with our economy and financial industry and rising health care costs which everyone knew would eventually completely cripple this country and all business. People like you didn’t raise a peep about things like Medicare D, but you WERE still watching Fox every night and reading your blogs…only back then your anger was focused on awful liberals not being patriotic enough or not supporting the troops. And befopre that? Before that this rage was centered solely on a moderate, pro-business president’s sex life. I bet you were one of those fellas who believed Whitewater was a massive crime worthy of tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money spent to run an almost decade-long investigation, or truly believed the Clintons had people murdered. Be honest, you know you did. So this rage and delusional paranoia is nothing new.
And get over yourself, no one made violent threats against you. But really, this is a serious question I ask all the time of people like you. IF you really are THIS angry and if you truly believe even 10% of the things you say, where you actually feel people are evil and willingly and purposefully destroying your beloved country and everything you hold dear, and forcefully taking your wealth and treasure and endangering the lives of yourself and your family, why WOULDN’T you take up arms and try to off someone? It’s a fair question. If you were right this second zapped back to Germany in the late 1920s or early ’30s, wouldn’t you try to kill Hitler? Well, people like you truly believe that individuals like Obama and Pelosi and numerous others are equal to or WORSE than Hitler. So why not try to do something about them? You can’t just sit on your ass and write rants in messageboards like some troll can you? I mean at the bare minimum Obama has three more years!
So why not? You fear being arrested or going to prison? Is it a moral thing? But this man is destroying your country! He’s going after your children! He’s going to take all your hard-earned money! Doesn’t that level of evil justify his immediate removal from office, even if by force?
January 8th, 2010 at 10:56 am
Mention a politician’s name in a thread and all the whackos come crawling out.

Real Leadership: Relating back to UK sports, since that is what this site is supposedly about anyway, when Coach Cal took over, I never heard him mention the previous staff and their shortcomings. He talked about the job that needed to be done, what he would do to get it done, and got to work. The results are in.
With Obama, I hear him blame every shortcoming on the previous administration, all the while forgetting he was a part of the Congress that instituted most of those acts (well, when he actually showed up to vote)
What I want is for Obama to be a man, live up to the promises he made (every bill will be debated in a public forum?) and start taking responsibility, it is his watch now. Quit blaming everything on Bush, the time frame for that is dead, gone, and history.

And I’m not saying that there aren’t any racist Democrats b/c they probably do exist; but if you’re a racist then you’re probably a republican (or at least claim to be), and an ignorant asshole.

I AM A REPUBLICAN, and most of you that claim to be one have absolutely no idea what that means… You just want to blame Obama for everything, you honestly think it would be any different if McCain was president? LOL… “W” was the worst president ever, get over it. You can’t blame Obama for the current state of the country only for the direction its heading. Its like buying a shitty used car from someone and you want to call up the manufacturer and yell at them b/c you got sold a piece of crap… Point the blame in the right direction… MATT PLEASE PUT THE LOGINS BACK ON THE WEBSITE… IM BEGGING YOU, THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME NOT TO WANT TO READ KSR ANYMORE!

We are all lucky that we live in a country where we are allowed to even express our opinions about our president… If you don’t like him vote for someone else in 2012, what good does coming on to a UK athletics site and spewing retarded comments do? (a) it makes the republican party look really bad (b) its not going to change anything (c) Obama is not a dumbass, bad president maybe, but dumbass no… How many dumbasses are President of Harvard Law Review and even get nominated for a nobel peace prize (deserving or not)??

378 & 380 – I’ve got some current reality for you. I hate to say it, but the majority of UK fans I’ve talked politics with take Glenn Beck (and Rush & Bill O) seriously (see 386) and actually believe the nonsense these guys spew out. Then, since they are too lazy to read real news and think for themselves, they form their uneducated political opinions on such ridiculous banter, totally oblivious of the reality that these guys are all about Entertainment, Ratings, and MONEY $$$.
Its the saddest about our nation today, that we have so many people who are unwilling to educate themselves and think for themselves.

It bears repeating, I hope the players don’t visit this site and read this stuff because it would give them too much insight into their fanbase. When you look in the stands at Kentucky you see nothing but pasty white people and when you look on the floor you see diversity. I bet some of the players wonder, do Kentucky fans include any blacks, hispanics, or other ethnic groups. As for the right-wing drivel on here, I find it utterly amazing some of the stuff you come up with. You should start your own right-wing nut University and support their team.
