Charles Barkley Tears Into "Unpatriotic" Limbaugh

Charles Barkley Tears Into "Unpatriotic" Limbaugh And "Idiot" Hannity (VIDEO)

"NBA great Charles Barkley dipped into some political punditry during a Tonight Show appearance on Friday, tearing into conservative talking heads who have rooted for President Obama to fail.

"I mean, you look at this country now, we've got all these foreclosures, we've got all these people laid off. We should be behind him 110 percent, hoping he's successful," Barkley said. "And I just thought it was unpatriotic and basically B.S. for Rush Limbaugh and that idiot Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and all those idiots to not root for this guy."

Barkley is no stranger to the national political debate, and he said last year that he's planning a run for Alabama governor in 2014. But it's pretty clear at this point that he won't be on the GOP ticket.

"Neither party is anything to write home about," Barkley told Jay Leno. "But the Republican Party just went right-wing whack nut job on America and screwed up the country."

Barkley did note that he's a huge fan of Obama (he's read his book multiple times), but that he can't get the president to return his calls anymore. "He's been big-timing me," he said to laughter. "When he was getting elected, you know, I was out there with him on the trail, beating the path, you know. He called me all the time then. You see what happens? You get a job, you forget about your friends."

So who gives a sh*t about the view of 1 Obama supporter who's drooling over the Messiah!!! Maybe basketball head Barkley should do some homework on who's fingerprints are all over the sub prime lending and maybe even ask his buddy Obama who was a lawyer who represented the noloads that helped force banks to lend money to people who were not qualified and were doomed to fail. While he's at it, maybe Obama will ask Clinton to join the fun and she can spill her guts over the bill her husband signed into law deregulating the housing market and forcing banks to give sub prime loans to low income people or risk hefty fines. I guess when your life revolves around dribbling a ball all day and night, one tends to miss the facts!!!

Charles Barkley was an ####### when he played basketball.

He stated his job wasnt being a role model for kids. Now he thinks he wants to be a politician.

Another jock made millionaire who doesnt know crap from shinola.

Why one would take Charles Barkley as a serious political commentator is curious ... and this article actually assumes he is peer with Rush ... that's idiodic.

Barkley is an athelete ... just check out how well he swings a golf club

YouTube - Charles Barkley Golf Swing

I hate it when famous ahtletes think that because they have a microphone in thier face we want to hear their thoughts on politics. His brain is not what made him famous, although his lack of a brain has gotten him a lot of publicity.

Same goes for actors.
