Laura Bush and Helping America's Youth

I spoke at the Helping America's Youth regional conference about two weeks ago. It was held at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts and I got to introduce Laura Bush. Check out the video.

Who's Laura Bush? Glad you're giving back G. Keep working at the rehab! Cant wait to see you on the court.

Greg! Just read about your workout with the team. Beat up on Lucas baby! Just imagine Tim Duncan or Amare in his place ;-)
Work hard! Play hard!
Go Blazas!

What? How do you not know who Laura Bush is? Do you live in a cave or what?

I think it was meant to be a joke. Maybe?

I think the best part about this is your fresh cut Mohawk. You seem a little nervous. But I would have been too. You are doing a great job giving back. I think you could squish the first lady.

lol yeah she is pretty small compared to me

Nice stuff mang. I think you need to chime in on this one,

You make Governor Kulongoski look tiny. That's not an easy thing to do to a Marine.

your huge! lol nice speech :)

Good job Greg! Maybe a public speaking class could help you out? You will need to know how to speak in front of large groups of people, especially when you make your championship speech in Portland!!!
November can't come soon enough...

no i was nervous as crap

jGreg went to publik skool, what did you expect. The government schools create problems and then the government says Hey we have a problem, give us more power and we can fix it!

Hey GO, I read that you're starting to pratice with your teammates. I hope you're doing well in your practices.

BTW, hope you made the trip to Sac for tonight's game against the Blazers, it should be good. I just hope Roy doesn't start at SF again because he got shut down by Artest in the second half last time. I want to see a Roy vs. Martin duel.

thats cool!

Get the word out there G.O. Kids need mentors, and you can help people realize this... keep up the G.O.od work!

Laura must be nice, I heard that the guy she married is severely retarded. We really must treasure folks with that kind of commitment.

your an idiot dude. how can somebody be president of the United States and be stupid??? im sick of people saying the president is stupid. YOU CANT BE PRESIDENT AND BE STUPID!!!!! it just doesnt work. Bush is a great president and id vote for him again if i could

seems to have worked when you steal an election in two states. This guy never has received the popular vote. His brother Jed helped him in florida in the first election and an electronic voting system helped him in Ohio and Florida in the second. So I guess we are both right. You can't be stupid and be a president, yet Bush is stupid. Bush is not a great president... just most people's opinion sir.

hes a hell of a lot smarter than you thats for sure. Bush is a great president.

"rusty" or should I say Mr. President. It must be you GW. The only other people who still talk like that don't know how to use computers.

Rusty: ahhaahahahahahahaahahahaahah thats the funniest BS iv ever heard!

ok Laura is fine, except for that time her picture got taken and well.... u can see granny pants and no bra. i felt kinda bad for her.
but cmon... dont lie to urself... our president isnt smart. no sugar coating that!

No more conservative presidents pleeeaaase!!! Its kinda embarrasing knowing that he's our president. John McCain is no better...

There are not many 20 year-olds who can say they are one of the leading forces for change in our country.

Excellent work Greg.

Greg Oden for Senate in the year 2034?

A born Buckeye fan with nothing but respect for all alumni. I think its cool you and Mike take time to answer people's questions... Thank You!

PS, why doesn't Daequan have a YardBarker account!?!

i have no idea

hey greg! im glad that the rehab is going well! i got two questions for you A) how do you feel about Ohio States chances for going all the way to the finals again this year? and Have you ever heard of the Flutag? The Flutag is put on by Red bull and its where you make a contraption that is supposed to "fly" and you take it off a 25ft platform over a river. well the reason why im telling you about this is because this year the completion is being held in Portland Oregon this year and me and my teammates want you aboard! nothing says Portland Like a trailblazer! we are not in it for your money so dont be worried we can make ends meat and pay for everything, all we are asking is to have a home town hero with us to make it a more memorable time. Well Flutag is August 2nd and we would love to have you as a teammate.

Wow Gregg, you are becoming quite the political sports celebrity. I'm not that much of a political person, I just know what and who I like but I'm not mad at you! I would like to see more attention given to the educational system in New Orleans as-well-as those school systems in all cities in the United States who are in most dire need. Not just in speeches and acolades but in actions and deeds otherise it is all just talk.

Great speech, it's so refreshing to see a professional athlete doing something positive!

Im a Blazer fan and was wondering do you ever talk to Kevin Durant? what famous people do you have in your cell phone?

Man, I bet that was scary. Including having the first lady there. Whats that event about? The Ameirca's youth. I've never heard of anything like that.

Or something like that. Whatever event you were in.

My favorite part was her joke about assists. I don't think she knew what she was saying.
