Obama With The Lakers

 Barack Obama celebrated the Los Angeles Lakers' 2010 championship with Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest and company on Monday. The president would probably rather be celebrating with Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose and his beloved Chicago Bulls, but that day will come some time during then next six years of his presidency. 

 Obama: Did you know John McCain is even shorter than Nate Robinson?

 Kobe: I guess that's why you put those vicious dunks on him in '08.

 Obama: Now I'm battling this Republican goon John Boehner.

 Kobe: I thought it was Boner?

 Obama: Haha- good one KB. Yeah that fool wants us to play golf but I was thinking a boxing match would be better.

 Kobe: The way dude cries all the time, you know he can't fight.

 Obama: Hey Kobe, we're about to play some ball at the White House court. You're my first pick.

 Kobe: What about your boy Reggie Love?

 Obama: Between you and me, Reggie's a ball hog.

 Kobe: Oh it's like that? I'll tell you what; I'll play on your squad if you bump Hillary and make me Secretary of State.

 Obama: What about vice president?

 Kobe: Nah that's too much like what I did with Shaq and I don't want to have to run you out of town like I did him.

 Obama: It's a deal, Secretary of State Bryant. 

 Obama: Ron, you're giving away a big part of your salary to charities for the mentally ill in America. How are you able to afford it? 

 Artest: The new tax cuts for the rich, Mr. President.

 Obama: Ha! You're a funny guy, Ron. I thought it was because you're crazy.

 Artest: Yeah, that too.

 Obama: Phil, why are you in favor of racial profiling in Arizona?

 Phil: Wait, what country were you born in? Can ya answer that? Can ya? Can ya?

 Obama: America, Phil.

 Phil: Prove it!

 Obama: Why couldn't Doc Rivers be here right now?
