President Obama held a Twitter Q&A on Thursday morning on the topic of climate change but the President couldn’t help but answer a question on his beloved Chicago Bulls and the recent dismissal of Tom Thibodeau.
Twitter user @apat246 knew what everyone REALLY wanted to talk about:
@POTUS the climate is great, how do you feel about the firing of coach Tom Thibodeau? #AskPOTUS @chicagobulls

As for his response, the President seemed to be very supportive of Thibs, which shouldn’t be surprising considering what a great job that he did with the Bulls roster.
.@apat246 @chicagobulls love thibs and think he did a great job. Sorry to see him go but expect he will be snatched up soon by another team.

In five seasons with Chicago, Thibodeau managed to secure a 255-139 W-L record for an impressive .647 winning percentage. The Bulls made the playoffs in every year that he coached the team. It doesn’t take a passionate Bulls supporter like President Obama to know that Thibs will likely land on his feet sooner rather than later.
Amusingly enough, the Thibs question would be the last question that President Obama would answer on climate change. One can never say that the President isn’t a die-hard Bulls fan at heart.
Thanks for the questions! This was fun. I've got to run, but let’s do it again soon. Tell me what you're doing to #ActOnClimate.
