Women's basketball star Lisa Leslie said President Barack Obama's first words to her when she met him during his Inauguration were, "You know I love tall women, right?"

"He was just really nice to me, like 'Oh my gosh, you know I love tall women.' That's really what he said," Leslie recalled in an interview with ESPN. "The first lady, she was walking by, and he was like, 'Now you know I love tall women, right?'"

Some people are so brain dead that they cannot discern a joke from a pick up line.... Poor Lisa Leslie like a deer caught in my headlights letting people know the President spoke to her. I mean is that something to repeat?? And how long ago was that??

Are we so lacking in intellect that we repeat meaningless conversations we had with important people??

Some of you need to s...t...f.­..u and get a life.

Ms. Leslie took the president's comments as a compliment and why wouldn't she?

Lisa took the comment as a compliment because it was and she's not ashamed of her height, like t iessa.

t iessa is offended by *everything* the president and first lady do because . . . well, they're the president and first lady!!

Typical remark from someone who hates gays. You're really hung up on gender identification, aren't you?

Only a person who is ashamed of her height and thinks being tall is a bad thing would see this as a rude comment.

It's his preference. It's what he likes. He's entitled to it. We have some our own likes and dislikes. So why the big fuss?

Because it is rude to comment on someone's physical appearance. He is the President of the United States of America. He should have some manners.

I like my women aesthetically pleasing, but intellectually vacant.

I call those kind of women "Sarah Palin-esque"

Tall or petite, the most important thing is the trust fund.

Really? People are getting all twisted up over the President complimenting tall women?

Seriously? I mean, HIS WIFE IS FIVE FOOT ELEVEN.
