On a commercial break from Monday Night Football, there was a commercial for NFL's Play 60, where they promote kids to play outdoors for 60 minutes.
In the commercial, Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints is set to throw a pass on the White House lawn with children running in slow motion, with the White House in the background.
At first thought, I was waiting for Drew to pass to one of the kids. Then I thought he might sling that sucker through the White House window hopefully getting Obama in back of the head.
Then Obama pops up in the scene catching the football from Breese and denying the children from catching the ball.
Obama is such a putz showoff not letting the kids catch the football.
Brees should have slung one side his big ears and see if he catches it then.
I think it was photoshopped. if you lppk at it closely Obummer didn’t even look at the ball.
Diva in the White House: Does Desiree Rogers Have the Obamas’ Back?
snip
Perhaps such pedestrian concerns as guest lists have escaped the notice of Desiree Rogers, the White House social secretary, whose job it was to plan and execute the Obama’s first state dinner. In an April 30 interview with WSJ, the Wall Street Journal’s magazine, she focused on using her Harvard MBA to “brand” the Obama presidency using the White House as its “crown jewel.” That may be good business speak, but it doesn’t translate as good public service.
Said Rogers: “You have to think about it [my job], in my mind, almost like a business. Otherwise, you never get there. You get caught in linen hell and flower hell, list hell.”
As they say, the devil is in the details. And if Ms. Rogers is not going to attend to them, she better damn well make sure somebody else does. A social secretary is normally a work horse, not a show horse.
A longtime Chicago friend of the Obamas, Rogers established her diva role in June by making quick work of Jackie Norris, the First Lady’s then chief of staff. Norris had been instrumental to Obama’s victory in the Iowa caucus. When Norris insisted on having Rogers report to her directly, not the First Lady, out she went—and in came Susan Sher, another one of the Obama’s Chicago friends.
The Obamas came to the White House with a Chicago clique that can sometimes act as though they made the president, not the other way around. Not that there’s anything wrong with having friends—it’s just that they seldom make the best employees, especially after you become the leader of the free world. Better to have your friends on the outside, where they can do you the most good, rather than on the inside where you have to clean up after them.
I was stunned on Sunday when I saw a Play60 ad. The one I saw said they want kids to get their “required” sixty minutes of play. When did playing become required and is this a sneaky way to get people to accept government mandated physical excercise For our own good, of course.
It aired over Thanksgiving, too...will probably be seeing it for the rest of the season.
Eventually, he gives the ball to a little girl on a player’s shoulders...so I guess he is taking the ball from the big kids and giving it to the little girl (art imitates life).
I don’t mind that he did a United Way Commercial, all presidents do (usually sitting in a chair though)...but something about the commercial did seem weird - I don’t know if it was the slow motion, or the false sense of suspense. Or the idea that we were supposed to be surprised by his appearance from out of view...since the WH was framed in the background, it wasn’t surprising at all.
Doesn’t surprise me. I remember back when Brees played at Purdue i happened to catch one of his games and the announcer was saying that Drew and his head coach would often get into heated debates about politics, with Brees taking the liberal side of issues. Apparently his outlook hasn’t changed much.
Just what I got out of it. All about HIM.

Maybe that might explain the Saints undefeated season. Apparently President Obama has NFL connections, we saw that when the NFL denied Rush the St Louis Rams.
My husband I saw that last night. We ran for the barf bags, especially seeing ole ‘chelle acting like a jock in the background.
I suppose morons out there are supposed to “serve” Dear Leader and his wife.
Ugh
As accurate as Drew Brees was passing last night, I doubt even the punk president would have dropped it.
For some reason obama in that add reminds me of the king from the burger king commercials.
President Obama is very doofy looking in that commercial.
The self centered man-boy Obama makes me ill; can't watch him ("Me, me, it is all about me, look at ME, me, me!"), his duplicitous smile and demeanor barely conceal his seething, Marxist, socialist, anti-American, Afrocentric black-racist hatred/agenda for America and everything we have held dear since the countries inception. I refuse to listen to him because everything coming out of his mouth is a self serving, calculated set of lies who's only purpose is to deceive all those who hear him. (Has anyone else notice the fact that everything he says has the exact opposite meaning of what he says and means?)
So it came as no surprise the man-boy stole the ball from children by not giving THEM the chance to catch it. You see he is bigger, he is faster than children and most importantly... it is all about HIM.
Like everyone else I unsuspectingly began watching the commercial but as soon as I saw HIS body and face begin to enter the picture frame I immediately changed the channel because I instinctively knew where this was going and I REFUSE TO GO THERE. You see, like you and every other normal, sane person with any kind of conscience or scruples... I don't spoil the lives of children... like you; I let THEM catch the ball.
I do not know what the commercial was supposed to be about nor do I care because the message it was intended to and did send was this: "Look at me, Obamessiah, it is all about ME and no one else, nothing else matters, not even children, because they are just props there to serve a bigger purpose, the worship of ME."
It ran during Sunday Night Football also. I’d like to have seen it in fast motion, I think they had to slow it down so you can’t tell what a weak throw that was...lol
“Um, could you throw it a little easier this time, Drew?”
I’ll pull for Farve and the vikes against them.
Read post 2 . I thought the same thing . If you played the sport you KNOW you have to keep your eyes on the ball .
