President Barack Obama is presented a Packers jersey by quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Notice the jersey says "Commander In Chief" rather than "Obama".....Perhaps this means they are showing respect for the office, rather than Obama.

When the Green Bay Packers visited the White House on Friday to celebrate the team's Super Bowl title, linebacker Desmond Bishop(notes) wasn't with his teammates. He had forgotten his license on the team charter plane and without a license, there's no getting past White House security.

No ID, denied acccess to President with fake BC.
The Salahis did it.
“The Salahis did it.”
Yeah but they actually wanted to get in.
It’s not as if between them the Administration and GBP couldn’t dispatch someone to the charter plane to pick up the ID. All irony aside.
True.
I don’t blame him. If invited to the WH, I’d conveniently “forget” to have my ID as well. Good for him!
More of the silly cult of the presidency. How about the coach of the Packers saying,,”thats him”. Lunacy,,
Modern presidents are completely without balls. The whole team should have walked out.
LOL - I was just thinking that if I were invited to the White House with the present resident inside, I’d “forget” my ID also!
Not to mention all the commie czars that probably no doubt would pass a simple background security check, ie, Van Jones.
Racist policy.
So, we need an ID to see the president but, we don’t need an ID to vote for the president. Stupid.
Yup. Just imagine if it was President Bush and a black player were refused admittance.
Of course a man like Bush would have probably overruled the SS and let him in anyway.
Well, by all means, I believe he should get to vote at least 3 times as a consolation prize.
If he had no ID he had about the same amount of identification/verification as the current occupant.
Notice the jersey says "Commander In Chief" rather than "Obama".....Perhaps this means they are showing respect for the office, rather than Obama.
Was he wearing his Super Bowl ring? Couldn’t the REST OF THE TEAM vouch for his identity!!!
This is just plain stupid, but I bet the quality of SS agents working the WH detail has deteriorated a LOT in the past 2 1/2 years.
shouldn’t thatre ad ‘Commander in Cheese’
The team must have took a private jet since he did not have his drivers license with him.
They let him on the plane since they knew him.
Hope he is able to get home or was he driven to the airport by limo?
Let’s not forget that if you crash a White House party you can get under the rope, depending on who you are.... Just saying!
I agree, I’d forget how to cross the Mississippi, and would really never have to deal with the propaganda, and BC.
