Photo: Spike Lee Presents President Obama with Custom Spiz’ikes
Last night, Spike Lee hosted a New York City fundraiser for President Barack Obama, and managed to tweet a pic of the Prez holding a brand new pair of Air Jordan Spiz’ikes in the forthcoming Olympic colorway. President Obama is a noted Chicago and Michael Jordan fan, and the gift from Spike was part of a special Presidential edition box set. Coolest President ever?

He once said after Obama was elected in ’08 that there would be two periods of history: BB (before Barrack) and AB (after Barrack). LOL are you sh!tting me?
the man just can show the way, he can’t walk for you.
So Obama did the right thing … make believe people in change.
They just let it down themselves, prefering ” to hope ” rather that to assume to do the change.
Of course i don’t blame people, life is super hard in this society.
Secondly, it’s just silly to argue over politics at a SLAM comments section.
Lastly, @Teddy-the-Bear: for the same basic reason George W. Bush was in office for 8 years, people voted for him.
The death of Gaddafi was a crime, and America did not support the Arab Spring–they manipulated it. Nothing has changed in Egypt because their military, which was a puppet to US interests since Mubarak came to power, still controls the country. That is why Egyptians continue to protest even after Mubarak’s departure, and why the military dictatorship continues its violent crackdown on them (fully supported by the US… seldom covered by the media). Mubarak was an illusion. There’s a reason why 90% of Egyptians see the US as their biggest threat to national security.
hey stop thinking you’re the centre of the world or that Obama is the real chief of your country..what i mean is whatever happens in the middle east doesn’t always involve America, and if even if it does it has nothing to do with Obama or anybody else’s “policies”..the world is a lot more complicated than that people..bet SLAM won’t post this though…
It has nothing to do with his policies? Tell me then, why Obama ordered the invasion/bombing of Libya, which killed over 1000 civilians, without approval from congress!? If that wasn’t *his* policy, what exactly is? Meeting the 2011 NBA Champions at the White House?
hey Dude, bombing Lybia wasn’t Obama’s “policy”..u could’ve put anybody as prez of the US and the bombin still would’ve happened..Obama don’t rule sh*t..America don’t rule sh*t..money is power, the wealthy owners of money rule the world..& they dont give a f*ck about the US or any other country..they care about money & power..peace
