Should just make his host off another CNN show.
Republicans, Democrats. It's like a sports teams in America, what side are you on?! MY SIDE IS BETTER THEN YOUR SIDE.
I can bet you $5 that Barkley doesn't even know what democrat or republican is suppose to mean.
I can bet you $100 dollars that Charles Barkley can Chaos Dunk your face into oblivion.
I'll take that bet. He knows more about what they are "supposed to mean" than these poser political experts that they normally have on these new channels. I agreed with almost everything he said except for his desire for Obama/Clinton instead of Clinton/Obama.Originally Posted by guartz
I especially agreed with the "fake Christians" statement

LOL, I love Sir Charles.
I even have one of his Phoenix Suns jerseys.

yep, cause it's painfully obvious more people are going to vote against Obama because he is black than people voting for him purely because he is blackOriginally Posted by Killgannon

Yea Killgannon! I mean just look at our track record of all the Presidents we've ever had! We've had jews, gays, women, latino and arab presidents.. Oh wait thats right they all been White male christians. the only one that didnt fit in the Mold was JFK and that was only because he was Catholic.Originally Posted by Demosthenes11
While Ill agree it probably wont happen in this case I wouldn't totally put it past the American people.

He told you? didn't know you were in his Fave five. He said its was one of the reason why he supports Obama not the Sole reason. You probably listened to the first 30 seconds then rushed to judgementOriginally Posted by guartz
I've always respected him for speaking his mind regardless of the consequences, but his ignorance is showing on this one.
Where did he say that? Certainly not in that video.Originally Posted by Rhinox
Anyway, you are missing the point. I'm certainly not the smartest guy in here, but I can tell when somebody is making decisions on incomplete information, and that's how most of America works, they make political decisions based on crap. Not something one should admire. It's utter ignorance.
Uh, he said he also would support Hilary if she won the nomination. I thought about his support of Obama over Hilary as being kinda superficial, but tbh I think he does have a pretty legitimate reason given the community he's a part of- Obama has a role model/positive impact thing with the black community that Hilary just can't account for (and there's nothing wrong with that either way; Hilary has a resonance with female voters in a similar manner). Simple fact is that the less you educate yourself on issues/focus on politics, the more likely you are to make your voting decisions based on associations. Barkley isn't the most politically minded person (and I agree with evilbau that he wouldn't really make a good politician, at least for awhile), but he's identified the social issues important to him and observed what he hasn't liked happening, and has chose to support the Democrats, preferring Obama out of personal relationship and association.
