This is a picture from Deadspin of Barack Obama hugging basketball great Bill Russell. It’s an “officially released photo”, taken by official photographer, Pete Souza. As we have reportedly previously, the Imperial President only wants photos of himself of which he approves, he wouldn’t let media in to take unposed pictures. It’s all about controlling that narrative.

Apparently, however, no one told Barack that Bill Russell was bad because he had a gun he tried to get through airport security.

Have at it!
