April 4, 201214 yr I enjoyed it. I would have likely also enjoyed an interview with Pres Bush during the World Series. Good point on Bush. When the Prez knows what he's talking about with sports, I enjoy a little Q&A.
April 4, 201214 yr Bored me with Bush as it bores me with Obama. Then again, baseball is boring enough in and of itself...
April 4, 201214 yr The President has been extremely accessible for these interviews. He was also at the WKU/MVSU game with the British PM. Probably set back our relations having to watch that travesty of a game, but I digress.... Whether it be his enjoyment of sports (partly the case), or the infatuation with the media and this President (partly the case as well), it does not bother me all that much. Grand stage where everyone is watching. The President enjoys greatness like the rest of us

April 9, 201214 yr I'd simply feel a lot better if Kentucky voters would stop thinking "ex-UK basketball player" was more than enough qualification for any and all elected offices in this state. There's my A No. 1 issue with politics and basketball.
April 9, 201214 yr Did not and wont't vote for him but i liked seeing him talk about coaching his daughter's team. I could see a nation of young girls being encouraged to play or keep playing from sitting in their living rooms and seeing tjis interview.

April 9, 201214 yr As evident by this past election where Richie Farmer was... oh, wait. Do you think that Richie would have faired better without Williams on the same ticket? Or, perhaps is better stated, would Williams have faired as well without Richie?
April 9, 201214 yr Do you think that Richie would have faired better without Williams on the same ticket? Or, perhaps is better stated, would Williams have faired as well without Richie?My most accurate pulse comes from that of BGP, a traditionally conservative message board and on here Famer was a popular as a french kiss at a Family Reunion. That ticket was doomed from the start and Farmer is loathed just as much as Williams. During and post election you read a lot more about Farmer acting a fool, not the other way around. Sure, he was elected due in large part to his popularity, just as Jesse "The Body" Ventura was elected for his suplexes or Al Franken for his comedic writing. I also have more faith in our electorate that they can filter through those type things and make a more informed decision. Which they did. I doubt Jim would give that type of credit to his fellow Kentucky (fan) voters. To answer your question, I think both would have fared just the same if the other was not on the ticket. That says a lot more about the general attitude people have towards Farmer to fall that far. We need Williams and Farmer to square off in some meaningless primary for comedic bliss.
