Photo: Gilbert Arenas' Obama tattoo

As mentioned Monday, Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas decided to show his support for President-elect Barack Obama by getting a little ink. Well, thanks to NBC Washington's Dan Hellie (via Gilbertology), we now have photographic evidence. Here it is in all of its up-close, sharp fingernail glory.


Not bad, not bad, though Gil really should have started on his pinky and his worked his way in. That mole on his index finger makes a perfect period.

    Even though it really wouldn't make sense grammatically, maybe the mole is a comma.

    Win a championship. Or get to the finals. I am so annoyed with this arrogant idiots. Yeah, he's great, but c'mon, get past the Cavs for ONCE in the playoffs. Lebron's great, but he is just ONE guy. He didn't even have that great of a team when he went to the finals. The last playoff game the Cavs played, his teammates mostly relied on him to pull them through the ENTIRE WAY. And it doesn't make sense as the Wizs, regardless of who is injured seemed to be great all around. When players like Arenas AND Ocho Cinco are known more for their off-court, off-the-field antics than their on, then that's a big problem. Kobe is a big media-darling but at least he is getting somewhere.

    For the 1st half of tonight's game, I do believe I will place 'believe' up my a$$.
    Then for the 2nd half I shall change it to 'change'.
    Not much to do on the bench.
    Love the capital G in an otherwise lower-case word, too.
    At least he spelled the words correctly.

    Sit on a bench for two years and people mysteriously stop caring about you... You can't avoid an injury but you can avoid complicating your surgery.

    As a long time Bullets/Wizards fan, I officially declare Gilbert Arenas an idiot. First, he said he wasn't going to vote and that all rich/wealthy people are Republicans so they will vote for McCain. Then he said that voting doesn't matter because all politicians lie. He is a sociopath and if wasn't for his talent at playing basketball, I'd be directing him around my house telling him where to plant my Barlett Pear tree!! Obama tattoo...what an idiot..it's a publicity stunt.
    Go Wiz...Go Obama
