President Obama loves the Olympics, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Friday, and will watch the Romneys' horse compete if he has the time.

Carney said he heard Obama saying "I love the Olympics, I can't wait for the Olympics to start" and discussing his excitement for the games, which officially begin with Friday night's Opening Ceremony.

Obama "looks forward to catching as much of the games as he can" and cheering on American athletes, Carney said, though he didn't have specifics on which events the president was particularly enthusiastic to see.

Just me, but could care less about the PC Olympics of today.

Now, if they gave the contestants six foot staffs to knock opponents off in log rolling events, that might perk my interest.

Wonder if he likes it as much as the White Sox - can he name his favorite athlete?

His favorite event is probably giant slalom. :-))

he didn't have specifics on which events the president was particularly enthusiastic to see.

Probably because the president has no clue what any of the events are. These people lie about things that dont even matter.

Obama’s a HUGE fan of the Olympics. As big a fan as he is of the White Sox, with his favorite player...uhhh...Johnson...Dale...Johnson...Junior...
