On the Trail With Greg Oden

| | Comments (0)

On Tuesday, I noted that #1 NBA draft pick Greg Oden (who also writes a blog), had a phone conversation with Barack Obama and endorsed Obama for president.

Yesterday, Oden took his political flirtations to another level, appearing with First Lady Laura Bush at a "Helping America's Youth," conference in Portland, Oregon. But really, the picture says it all:

Regardless of your political leanings, you have to appreciate an athlete willing to get involved in politics, in an era when the likes of Tiger Woods, LeBron James and Michael Jordan refuse to take a stand on something as uncontroversial as Darfur.
