As has become tradition, the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins were given a private tour of the White House and honored in a ceremony hosted by president Barack Obama on Monday, but one face was missing...and it was a rather notable face.
Vezina and Conn Smythe winner Tim Thomas chose to skip out on the festivities, citing "personal reasons" that likely have to do with his political affiliations. Thomas is a strong conservative and Republican. He is also one of only three American-born players on the Bruins Stanley Cup roster.

Pujols and LaRussa did not show up either when the Cards went to see Odumbo. The only idiot owner who was more than happy to meet Klownie the Kenyan was Mark Cuban, the lib owner of the Mavs.
Tim can have a better time visiting the Smithsonian..

Don't give a rat's *ss about hockey or the Bruins, but had to check out the comments at the link. Predictably; the moonbat leftists that inhabit New England are dissing the goalie for 'disrespecting' the office. I guaran-damn-tee you if it were Bush in the White House; the same people would be praising Thomas' name to the heavens.
Hypocrite scum.

LOL. Okay, you can think that, but we know you AIN’T got the guts to say that to his face. Afterwards, you would look really stupid trying to play hockey with a stick THERE.

I had the same retort to an idiot liberal when she gave me “it’s not about the president, it’s about respecting the office” BS..
I wished I took her pic with my Iphone fast enough right after I said “I am just showing this idiot kenyan the respect you showed Bush for the past 8 years”

The Boston Bruins have declared that a statement will be made on Thomas’s Facebook page tonight, so keep posted.
Others who FB, may be interested in this info.

As a Canuck fan, I’m required to hate the Bruins.
But I like Tim Thomas. It must be very difficult to take a stand on principle, knowing he’s going to be standing by himself.
