Or: Why Gilbert Arenas is more in touch with the economy than John McCain.
Even if the Washington Wizards haven't scored a championship since the Carter Administration - we do win for having the most entertaining NBA blogger on our roster.
In a recent post, Gil showed he understood the implications of the falling dollar better than McSame -- our economic dominance around the world is at risk... Agent Zero: The Blog File
Agent Zero: The Blog File (Gilbert's blog)
It’s kind of sad that you have the young, future players of this league threatening to go to Europe because Josh Childress already signed himself a deal over there. It’s going to be hard to negotiate sometimes now. Some of these owners and general managers are going to be watching out because these European teams are paying these kids money. Since their economy is on top right now, somebody like Josh Childress is getting $11 million a year over there. That $11 million a year is basically a max contract over here. That’s A.I. money....
The European Trend
It’s expected for the Europeans to go back, because compared to over there, they’re making pennies in America. Juan Carlos Navarro gave up a lot of money to come over here. The economy is dictating it now. Their money is stronger than ours right now.
Can you imagine LeBron going to play in Europe? Kobe going to play in Dubai? Or the unthinkable - Superman Dwight Howard going to play in China? Check out the All-Star Superman Dunk!
Next thing you know, we'll be selling Chrysler to Germany or Budweiser to Belgium. Oh, wait! Nevermind.
Seriously, we're losing our Superpower dominance, if we haven't already...
Our basketball players got it, calling themselves the Redeam Team in Bejing. They understand America's place in the world is in jeopardy.
But as Barack says, John McCain, he just doesn't get it. Tax cuts for the rich and off-shore drilling just won't cut it as the centerpiece of a domestic policy agenda. That's how we're going to save America?
Not long ago Barack and Michelle knew what it was like to live with student loans, living paycheck to paycheck. They know what it's like. And he's put forth a strong progressive economic agenda that invests in growth and competitiveness.
Gilbert says: "If you have any type of money, you're a Republican, period." He's got a new max contract so he's leaning GOP. But seeing Barack sink that 3 pointer in front of the global media, maybe Agent Zero will realize that only Obama has the nerves and vision to lead an American Renaissance that will keep our best ballers at home.
