Miracle Mario wants to wait until Barack is in WH before going there.

"It will be an honor to go to the White House and meet the President. I asked Coach if we could maybe postpone it a few months, until Barack was in there." Mario Chalmers

Gotta love those Jayhawks. I read this on a sports forum and am looking for a source. I thought I'd go ahead and share it with my fellow Kansans.

1. Good on ya' Mario! Rock Chalk Jayhawk

All the KU players are class acts - I'm sure it would be hard to turn down a visit to the WH even though an idiot resides there!~

2. I take it as a good sign

that the kids are more than just jocks. I think it's evidence that they are pretty well-rounded individuals as well as good athletes. I also heard rumblings on the sports boards that Cindy Self (Coach's wife) isn't Bush fan. They were afraid she would talk Bill out of going because she doesn't like Bush. Again, those are just rumblings on the sports forums and I don't have any proof of any of it but it does make my heart sing. ;)

It also makes me more glad than ever that Roy Williams isn't around. Back in 2003 Ole Roy was stumping for the developers in their bid for seats on the city commission. He did commercials and print ads for the developers and then took off to North Carolina when the season was over.
