Why Michael Jordan would make a better President than Barack Obama

1. Michael Jordan has excelled at a profession: basketball. This profession is highly competitive and requires teamwork and leadership. If you play poorly in basketball, you will hear about it loudly, from fans and team ownership. There is accountability. If you play bad, you will most likely be dropped or traded. With some argument, Michael Jordan is the best basketball player to ever play the game.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, has not emerged at the top of any field. Correct me if I am wrong, but Barack Obama has never been counsel to any major litigation, nor has he ever been author of any significant academic piece.

2. Michael Jordan is a capitalist. He believes in the right of a man to make money and keep that money. He also doesn't have serious qualms with American companies like Nike, for he used to endorse their shoes. Hence, the Air Jordan Nike shoes. He also has been a spokesman over the years for other companies like Hanes, McDonalds, and Gatorade.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, is a socialist. He wants a socialized, government run, universal health care program. He wants to increase taxes on the rich and punish those who make more money. He wants to excessively tax oil companies just because their profits are at record highs.

3. Michael Jordan is a consensus building character. To my knowledge, he has never even voiced a political opinion publicly. Conservatives and liberals like him. Most of us adored watching him play basketball.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, is divisive. Many conservatives fear him. Many Democrats, mostly Hillary Clinton supporters, dislike him and find him unqualified.

4. Michael Jordan has business experience. He is part owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, has no business experience. He hasn't even run a convenient store.


5. We know MJ is not a Muslim.

6. MJ doesn't have sketchy ties to terrorists like William Ayers or priestly fanatics like Jeremiah Wright.

7. Michael Jordan could beat Obama in basketball.

8. Michael Jordan has international recognition. There are probably still a few areas of the world that have not heard of Barack Obama: the Middle East not being one of these areas. Iran is cheering him on, as well as Hamas.

As I think of more reasons why MJ would be a better President, than Barack Hussein Obama, I will update this list.
