Magic Johnson and President Obama Working Together to Create Jobs?
President Obama’s White House guest list is beginning to sound like a joke punchline. Instead of inviting CEO’s or experts who know a thing or two about jobs creation, Obama invited NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson to the White House to brainstorm about creating jobs.
As Twitchy.com points out, the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which is now disbanded, didn’t get the job done. So why not invite a sports star who is the face of a multimillion dollar corporation run by silent partners?
Johnson, 54, couldn’t contain his excitement when he took to his Twitter account to boast about his biggest achievement — no, not his 5 NBA championship rings; and not the birth of his son. Something bigger.
“Working side by side with the President on getting America back working is bigger and better than the 5 NBA Championships I won!”
Magic also stroked Obama’s massive ego by calling him the “smartest and most powerful leader in the world.”
“I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be in a working meeting with the smartest and most powerful leader in the world, Pres. Obama!” he tweeted.
Johnson, who is rumored to be bisexual, didn’t tweet anything about working with Obama to teach kids about HIV/AIDS, which continues to run rampant through the gay community. But he did tweet: “Don’t forget that Obamacare officially starts on October 1st.” Which is the real reason Johnson was invited to the White House — to help push ObamaCare.
The readership over at Twtichy.com weren’t too kind to Magic or Obama.
One raeader wrote: “Is this a joke? Sharpton, Jackson, Jay-Z, now Johnson. The barrel O’s scraping appears to be bottomless.”
Another reader joked:
Uh, Magic, your son EJ is still crying out for your attention.

Some years ago Magic opened a bunch of Starbucks in my area that employed a lot of underprivileged teens and college students who were able to receive tuition assistant for college so in that regards i can’t knock it. Beyond that i have no comment except for i may need Magic to reimburse me for the therapy i need after seeing one to many pics of his son EJ.
Good morning roses!
I can see it. Hell people in la been begging magic to run for mayor for years now, so him having a meeting with the pres to discuss jobs doesn’t sound unreasonable.

Actually I saw a documentary and read about ole Magic , dude is very inspiring indeed
I have a lot of respect for him and I can’t argue there about Obama being smart, hell check his record 
and US President is one of the most powerful position. Sounds like he mad a very legitimate statement here 
I see no azz kiss, only showing love….. what you do a lot. You do that a lot too Sandra. Not with the President but with FOB….. I see nothing wrong here if your helping 
good morning everybody
I hope their plan works because we need more GOOD PAYING JOBS:tea:
Good morning yall!!! I met Magic once, he was very nice and humble.
Good morning everyone

Hey Obama how bout you give a raise to your federal government workers as well
Morning
I can see and
the thinking out of the box by our POTUS. Conventional methods of creating jobs is not working in all sectors so it’s time to use some unconventional methods in these unconventional times. If it wasn’t for the President’s stimulas plan I would have never had the opportunity to go back to school. I took full advantage of the opportunity finished my AA and get my Business degree next year.
Magic Johnson has created many jobs through his many business ventures such as Starbucks and Movie Theatres. Perhaps Pres. Obama invited him to address the needs of individuals below the poverty line and lower middle class.
Interesting how you twist this situation!
But what would bringing the politicians in do to help. They made all the promises and never followed thru so why not bring in the one person that we know looks out for his community.
On another note it’s 8:58am and my mama cooked smoked turkey wings, okra, rice, lima beans and johnny cakes. What the hell? I eats none of that first of all but why is that breakfast?
I saw a documentary on Magic, and it brought me to tears
so I decided to research him …. 
dude is inspiring indeed. We need more folks like him 
and you know someone else, who will have ya like 
ole Bill Clinton. Despite his short comings he has done a lot for tons, and his wife. Read up on em …. 
Anyways MsB, Wut,Brown, Honey, Puppy, Lyric Bring em out Bring em out
It’s Friday snitches 
and I’m out this beesh in 15 min 
@LADIELEO
I think its smart too. To get someone who actually is committed to the community. Most politicians live outside the community and is very out of touch. I think bringing him in makes good sense.

Seems like most everything Magic has touched in the business sector has been successful and he actually brings business to the Black community.
The real reason jobs aren’t being created is because the powers that be shipped all the manufacturing jobs overseas. There should be options and careers that would allow a person to take care of their family without going to college and accumulating mountains of debt.
Higher education is important, but everyone isn’t built for it. For a lot of people what they lack in booksmarts they make up in other areas that make them valuable. You shouldn’t be pigeonholed into following the same track as everyone else to be successful. Yeah, that degree gives you a leg up on landing in the career you want for the pay you want, but it’s not a garantee. And you still owe Fanny nem.
Those manufacturing jobs allowed families to gain a foothold in the middle class and parents who didn’t have a formal education to set their children up to gain one.

My list of shout outs will go as follows:

The man with fresh gear and kicks on the exit ramp and when I was at the light his cell phone rang
The crazy lady by the immigration office on MLK that was making an imaginary music video and hunching the ground
The man in CT that was doing karate against that brick building and did a round off and fugged that building up!
The gay man that called out to the straight man by name and the straight man kept walking so gay man windmilled on that azz in the middle of the street.

Alright someone knows @the rapist…Hey The Rapist(i miss typing that)
Ok so I have a dilemma, I’m trying to figure out if I’m just being extremely extra or its just normal. I mean since we family and all I know yall won’t judge me. Ok here goes……when getting a little rear door loving I like to know that the dude means to do it. Like I don’t want him to just kinda slide his tongue down there and then I’m like is he meaning to do this? Should I stop him? I prefer for dude to just push my legs way up and really get into it or roll me on my tummy and pull my cheeks apart. That way I know it’s no misunderstanding. Am I thinking to much into this?
