Shaq Denied Entry To The White House, He Says

The White House may currently be home to a basketball-loving president, but that doesn't mean NBA superstars are welcome to just drop by any time they feel like it. Even if they are Shaquille O'Neal.

According to the NBA star's tweets, he was in D.C. and decided to go by the White House to see if he could stop in: "Question, I'm n dc, think if I walk up to the white house, they let me in, I kno the answer, let me kno wht u think, o yea I'm wearin shrts."

Alas, it wasn't meant to be: "The white house wouldn't let me in, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." Perhaps he was denied entry because Obama was already hosting the defending WNBA champion Detroit Shock at the White House Monday. Or, just maybe, it was the "shrts."

Shaq...how does Obama's a@@ taste like?

[alexolife]

omg they didn't let a black guy into the white house uninvited and without an appointment. RACIST!

[Ohioan730]

Seriously? LOL! What does Shaq imagine the president of the United States does during the day? Nobody drops in on the president except his family and his dog, I would imagine.

Who does he think he is, who's next Lil Wayne, that's rude and it's not safe.

Racist Secret Service agent?

Meant to say NOT a PR op for Shaq.

[Wiseronenow]

I'm sure the WNBC wouldn't appreciate having Shaq in a picture of them with the President. It was THEIR day and a PR opportunity for Shaq.

Nice try, but there's such a thing as protocol, you don't just drop in.

[swampthing]

Shaq isn't shy about advertising his overblown sense of entitlement mixed with a fear of becoming obsolete is he?

[alby91]

HE WAS PROBABLY TO BIG TO FIT

[ronnie423]

Shaq got stuffed!

[ChiGuy]

Just because he's "Shaq", he thinks he should be able to just drop-in on the President of the United States???
Riiiiight.
Then how about Tom Brady? Peyton Manning? Kobie? A-Rod? Oprah? Jay Leno?

What a joke.

[realpolitic]

Man, Shaq just thinks he can walk over and disrupt the president's day. What an ego! Sure, Shaq, you and a couple other NBA players just drop in any time day or night, you can always sit in on a Cabinet meeting.

[revhatchell]

it's not like the president is busy or anything.

i'm calling off my trip to dc because i had the same plan, but i was going to send a lol cat that says, "can haz cheeseburger wiff prezidents?" to announce my attentions.
