Barack Obama calls Blazers No.1 pick and I say ho-hum..ZZZZZZZ….
Greg Oden took a two-minute telephone call from Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday in
which the men discussed basketball, mohawk haircuts and Oden’s knee.
They
did not talk about Obama’s stance on education, civil rights or health care.
Instead, Oden said he studied the political candidate’s Web site to educate
himself on those matters, but after the telephone call, Portland’s No. 1 draft
pick announced in his Internet blog, “Senator Obama is getting my vote.”
Oden also wrote, “He is a very nice man.” And the Blazers’ center added, “He
is a real sports fan and he knew about the Blazers. (Obama) said that when I
come back Brandon (Roy), LaMarcus (Aldridge) and I will be a force next year.”
And Oden also wrote, “There are things he’s doing that I really support.
