Barack Obama Got Some Decent Jokes Off At Michael Jordan's Expense
Photo credit: Chip Somodevilla/ [object Object] Michael Jordan, the famous denim icon, received the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from President Obama this afternoon at the White House, along with Vin Scully and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. While introducing the inductees, Obama ribbed MJ and called him “the guy from Space Jam.” I hope Kevin Durant is someday referred to as “the guy from Thunderstruck.”
Obama then became the highest-ranking public official to make a Crying Jordan joke.
To be clear: Michael Jordan is actually the guy from the shoe company.
