apparently, the washington wizards (seemingly permanently injured with a trick leg that’s cost us the playoffs year after year after year) guard is crazy in love with barack obama. so crazy, in fact, that he’s tat-tat-tatted up with obama. and more. i caught this story over at sportaphile:

Every since Tuesday’s historical election, the U.S.A. has been running wild with over 50 million Obamamaniacs and Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards may be the biggest one. Not only did Gilbert get Obama inspired tattoos, he’s also getting a mural at his home. SportsByBrooks has the goods:

“Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words “Change We Believe In” tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had “44? inked on it.

Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama’s family on one side and Arenas’s fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas’s house. “He united people,” Arenas said of Obama. “By him winning, it showed the world that we’re not as racist as people think we are. I think that’s the beauty of [the election]. Not just because he’s the first African American president. America is not as bad as people think we are.””

Now… I’m a Barack Obama fan like most of you out there… but this is just a little “extra extra” in my opinion. Just think if you saw a few rednecks in Kentucky with George Bush tattoos and Dubya painted on the side of their barn… you’d probably say “these right wing jesus freak hicks are fanatical”.

now is that crazy or what!? and LOL at the picture. oh my goodness. and i HEARD the bamma was claiming he wasn’t voting for barack cuz he was down to raise taxes! somebody fact check that for me! we need to re-evaluate gilbert’s mental state. i think he’s ventured beyond normal, and is now stomping his size 12 reebok gil-zero’s around in the land of insanity. i’m just saying though. he needs to get his team in the right mindset…the wizards are the worst in the league with a woeful 0-6 start for the season. and those are my boys, but cot’ damn. we need a new day! gil has lost my respect until he: a. gets back on the damn court and fries people like he did kobe back in ’06 or b. removes the tattoos and rips down the stupid mural in his house. that’s just me. call me a hater. i used to love him like common used to love H.E.R. but now i can’t fade it.
