One take on the meet-up called it a typical Obama moment used for poltical purposes.
Why is it that Obama just SURPRISE happens to show up mic’d up and spend 20 minutes tops at the event but goes over to CAITLIN CLARK to say “Don’t let the nonsense get you down?
He never ONCE mentioned anything on X or interviews that she is being tormented by players .. but he calls it NONSENSE?
This was a POLITICAL stop meant to humanize him because he is always RUNNING & active in politics.
Why is our own PBS covering this and releasing this instantly as if it is for political purposes?
Why was this announced only days ago that there is a SYNERGY with the WBNA at HIS OWN brand new Presidential Center before the WNBA ALL STAR GAME in Chicago?
They had only crystal-clear multi-minute audio that drops within minutes of him appearing.
And we’re supposed to believe this was just spontaneous?
This is the same guy who sat on Bill Simmons’ podcast in 2020 and said
“Let’s stipulate women, generally, are SUPERIOR to men. And women athletes are no different… The women, they would be articulate and engaged and ask these policy questions. So I wasn’t surprised [the WNBA led on social justice.”
Obama has been treating the WNBA as a political vehicle for years.
This wasn’t a basketball moment.
It was a carefully timed political operation.
Do any of us ever know President Obama to be mic ed up with a lavaliere recently? We state media PBS recording it all.
Oh and President Trump also just hosted The Dodgers the day prior and was doing the White House Correspondents Dinner the same night.
CAN’T UNSEE IT. OBAMA STILL THINKS HE IS THE PRESIDENT.

Ultimately, it’s clear that the narrative surrounding the abuse, attacks, and assaults of Caitlin Clark by black lesbians in the WNBA has reached the mainstream. Americans are outraged. Obama had to step in and minimize the assaults by labeling them a media issue and covering up the racial and sexual abuse behind them.
The bigger point here is that when Obama was in his 20s, he was nothing but a stoner. He did nothing at that time, even remotely close to Clark. In her 20s, Clark is shattering women’s scoring and production records in the NCAA and WNBA. When Obama was in his 20s, he was smoking dope.
Obama was a stoner when he was Clark’s age:
Long before he was president, Obama admitted in his 1995 memoir “Dreams of My Father” that he smoked marijuana in high school. “[I smoked] in a white classmate’s sparkling new van,” the former POTUS wrote (via ABC News). Obama did not smoke joints just to fit in. “I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind,” he wrote (via NBC News). More details of Obama’s marijuana usage were revealed while he was in office.
When he was in high school, Obama and friends were part of a crew dubbed “the Choom Gang” who had a few inventive games when smoking up. “Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends,” writer David Maraniss wrote in the 2012 biography “Barack Obama: The Story,” (via ABC News). The group often rolled around in a Volkswagen minibus they called the “Choom Wagon.” To best utilize their weed, Obama and his friends used to hotbox their ride. “When they were chooming in a car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste,” Maraniss wrote.
According to the biography, Obama was often eager to cut in during a weed circle. “[H]e often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!,’ and took an extra hit,” Maraniss wrote. Smoking weed was not limited to Obama’s childhood, as he also imbibed in college.
When Barack Obama was in college he still smoked some marijuana, but apparently, it was far more tempered than his “Choom Gang” days. The fact that Obama had openly discussed smoking weed became news fodder when he was running for president in 2008. The New York Times spoke to some of his old friends and classmates to find out just how much pot was part of his college curriculum. “If someone passed him a joint, he would take a drag,” Vinai Thummalapally, who went to California State University at the same time as Obama.
In her early 20s, Clark is breaking basketball records, while Obama, in his early 20s, was too stoned to play the game.
