Barack Obama Gets Massive Standing Ovation at NBA Finals Game 2 in Toronto

[Cinnabar]

Rap superstar Drake has become closely associated with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, but he found himself upstaged by an even bigger name on Sunday — former President Barack Obama.
The former president’s trip to Canada included a speaking engagement and a visit with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. But it was the crowd at the Toronto Raptors game that gave Obama the warmest reception of his trip.

I had issue with Obama not being tough enough on obstructionist republicans and being way too Centrist....but he has such class and grace and a great sense of humor which allowed him to laugh at himself during roasts. He was even kept it classy while being trolled by birther idiot Trump for eight long years.

Maybe he should move to Canada and run for office there.

They welcome refugees, don't they?

"Collusion" birthers.

I saw that, was impressive, even the players, referees, and court side announcers stopped to applaud

Nice to get nostalgic over a President, any President, that exemplified grace, class, and dignity, now we got Trump, who pushes people out of the way so that he can be the center of the photo op

Not going to get any easier from here with Thompson questionable, going to be the walking wounded Warriors

More evidence that empty virtue signalling, not results, still appeals to the vanity of a vast section of the populace.

No question. Toronto is tough and for the first six quarters were kicking the Warriors butt. W’s got lucky to hold on last night but I was thrilled with the split.

Toronto had a fabulous season & kind of a miracle to have foreign devils, I mean Canadians in the finals...

I have a small place in my heart of them but GO WARRIORS!!!!!

It is a testament to Obama that Canadians, and most other citizens of our traditional western allies hold him in high regard.
While Trump is widely reviled.

Normal people appreciate and cultivate the respect and admiration of their neighbors.

That fact that Trump boot-lickers see nothing wrong with alienating old friends and allies tells you something about how they are perceived in their own neighborhoods. Sociopaths might be too strong a word, but think of the angry old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn, and I think you get the idea.
