Luol Deng Has Big Shoes To Fill At The Miami Heat (Lebron James)

Lebron and Luol Deng

The Miami Heat's signing of Sudan born basketball player, Luol Deng, as a replacement for Lebron James, the top player in the world, who returned it his Cleveland Cavaliers, created major ripples in the press and on social networking. Some want Deng to fill James' shoes at the Heat, which is a tall order.

However, trying to make Deng over into Lebron would be a mistake. Let him be his own person. The key is for Deng to improve his defensive tactics and go straight for the rim. Have confidence in your abilities as a basketball player. It is also vital to be a team player, something Lebron had done very well at the Heat.

Lebron James: I'm taking all your players

Thus far, Lebron has poached three former Heat players, persuading them to join him at the Cavaliers (Mike Miller and James Jones - not to mention, Ray Allen is also being wooed by Lebron and the Cavs). I'm tired of this Cleveland Heat and Miami Cavaliers thing (LOL). To Lebron, I admire your talent as a basketball player and I say this with the utmost respect, if you poach one more Heat player I'm going to:

Just kidding!

Obama Presidency In Turmoil

This month, two high profile figures in the Obama Administration jumped ship. Last week, White House Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel, departed the White House, after two years on the job. Today, National Security Adviser, James Jones, left the Obama Administration as well.

This is in addition to a variety of economic and political members of staff, who departed the Obama White House, quite early in his presidency, as things began to deteriorate. In short, his presidency should not be at this juncture so soon, if at all, regarding people quitting.

It is being said bad economic data is being suppressed by the Administration, in the run up to the November 2010 mid-term elections, which will decide the balance of power in the U.S. Congress. It shall greatly impact the President's ability to put through legislation. Therefore, the President is concerned regarding its outcome.

Lamentably, Obama is resorting to the same cover-up tactics former president, George W. Bush, used to trick the nation into thinking the economy and nation's wars in the Middle East, were not as bad as people thought, when it was worse.
