I could tell he event had an event on him but his comments were much to mild. What the heck makes Sterling a good man? Obama was right when he implied he was ignorant and a racist. But a good man? I see no proof of that.

Neither does Sterling appear too bright from what I have seen of his statements, giving further proof that the notion that the 1% earn their ridiculous salaries by being bright and working hard is nothing but a lie.

The President did not refer to Sterling as a good man. He clearly was referring to NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
