Why did LeBron visit the White House when he didn’t win the NBA championship?
The Cleveland papers report that NBA star LeBron James and a few of his homies visited Barack Obama in the White House on Monday. This is odd since traditionally the NBA champs visit the president, not the sore losers.
But I guess tradition and protocol go out the window when your home boy is president. I wonder how Kobe Bean and the Lakers feel about LeBron visiting before they even get in the door?
This brings up an interesting fact about Obama refusing to ante up the names of visitors to the White House since he became president.
You may recall that Obama campaigned against such secrecy when Bush was still in the White House. Obama didn’t see any reason why the White House visitors list should be kept a secret. But now that he is president, of course he changes his tune.
Well, there’s a federal lawsuit winding its way through the courts — and a federal judge has twice ordered that the Secret Service produce the list of names. But ole Obama is stubbornly blocking the release of those names until the case reaches the Supreme court I guess.
This means that information which should be made public is being withheld by Obama, who promised transparency in his administration. Lol.
This also means that Obama can sneak a chick or two into the White House and we, or for that matter, Michelle Obama, would never know it.

If that tradition and protocol has ANYTHING to do with Kobe Bryant…I would toss that right out the door also…
So glad I dont depend on this BLOG for my Presidnt Obama news.
Win or lose Lebron can go to the White house!
@ Sandra, is there a constitutional requirement that you have to win an NBA Championship before you can visit the White House if you are a professional basketball player?
SMH
Auntie, I highly doubt Obama would EVER step out on Michelle.
But your post is on point as far as keeping the White House visitor log secret goes.
Looks like our President is more excited(chuckie cheese smile) to be meeting the players.
obama, get them jigaboos out the white house. u know better. i’m picturing a bbq in the corner somewhere. and u know they went to the indoor court and hooped.
the lakers’ parade was today, but they may still go to the whitehouse.
LeBron is The GREATEST (2008-2009 Most Valuable Player)…If LeBron had Kobe’s teammmates, they would have probably went undefeated throughout the playoffs..President Obama knows basketball..
