Oden endorses Obama

As the Ohio and Texas primaries get closer, political candidates are shaking hands, kissing babies, and ... making phone calls to Greg Oden?

Sure enough, Barack Obama made a call to Oden on Tuesday to discuss several issues including basketball, mohawks, and Oden's recent knee injury.

"He is a real sports fan and he knew about the Blazers," Oden posted on his Internet blog. "(Obama) said that when I come back Brandon (Roy), LaMarcus (Aldridge) and I will be a force next year.

"He also asked me about my knee, and he said he wasn't feeling my mohawk."

Oden described himself as nervous about the call, but felt easier after he checked Obama's Web site to learn more about his political positions. Oden said that the two didn't talk politics during their conversation.

Still, while the Oregon primary isn't until May 20, Obama seems to have persuaded at least one more voter to go his way.

"He is a very nice man and I am a big fan. Senator Obama is getting my vote."

1. Oh wow

An NBA basketball player endorsed Obama, well, that clinches it for me. I said the same thing when Magic endorsed Hillary, big f'in deal. Cause we all know NBA players are pillars of American society. <sarcasm>

3. I'm sure Woody Hayes would have voted for Hillary

If it's any consolation.

[Cant trust em]

4. Oh, so since basketball players are predominantly black they can't make an endorsement?

That is racist!

I'm totally kidding. GDP is crazy these days.

9. Well then why did you open the thread if you don't care what NBA players think?

Do us a favor and leave the thread and bring your racist filth elsewhere. You are painting NBA players with a broad brush.

11. Because thats what I chose to do

Do me a favor and put me on ignore so I don't have to listen to idiots respond to my posts.

[Cant trust em]

10. What part of "I'm totally kidding" did you miss?

I'm sorry, but did you read the rest of the post?

[quinnox]

12. Pardon me

I didn't realize you were making a joke, my apologies. I will edit my post accordingly.

[Cant trust em]

14. Too late, you're already on my ignore list.

Again, just kidding. Who says you can't have fun in GDP?

Seriously though, game faces are on in this forum.

16. lol

yea, I guess we Hillary supporters are on edge nowadays, but hell, losing is hard to take.

[Cant trust em]

20. You haven't lost yet

I'm an Obama supporter but this thing is a long ways from being wrapped up. Clinton is a smart, worthy patriot and she's not going to go down easily.

5. I'd be even more impressed if Odin endorsed Obama

Even Thor's endorsement would be cool.

8. TANJ. If I was only a faster typist I coulda got a DUzy

instead of being just a copying unoriginal bum. :argh:

[TheDoorbellRang]

17. Being a complete sports illiterate, that's who I thought of, too

:rofl:

But then Freyja might endorse Hillary, and then there would be Valhalla to pay.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. Odin is a God of war.

Guess who he supports...

[hfojvt]

6. the Norse God? The all-father?

So what? I'll bet Loki endorsed Clinton. I'm still waiting to see who Thor endorses, because he will bring the thunder.

[Cant trust em]

13. Isn't there a DUer around here called FenrisWolf?

We can complete our little Asgard game.
