Former NBA player Jason Collins, who last year became the first professional athlete to announce he is gay, will be among those sitting with first lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union address, the White House announced Monday.
Collins, 35, played for six NBA teams over his 12-year professional career and was named the NCAA’s “Big Man of the Year” while at Stanford University. After his announcement in April, President Barack Obama called Collins to say he “couldn’t be prouder” of him.
Also sitting with the first lady will be two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings: Carlos Arredondo, 53, and Jeff Bauman, 27. The two became friends after the attack, when Arredondo rescued Bauman after the blasts. In what became perhaps the most famous photo from the bombings, Arredondo – wearing his white cowboy hat – rushed a badly injured Bauman, who lost both of his legs, away from the bombing to safety. From his intensive care hospital bed, Bauman played a key role in identifying the bombing suspects.

Well isn't that just wonderful and I guess if Obama had a son, he would want him to be just like him.

ReplyDeleteIf obammie had a third daughter, it would look just like him!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought maybe Obamie would invite his old gay-pal Larry Sinclair and smoke a little crack cocaine and have little bit of sexy time like in the old days of 2007.
