As a Steeler fan since ‘75 I am DISGUSTED!

Of course this flim flam wishy washy wimp does not really care one iota about the Steelers or football.

“As a Steeler fan since ‘75 I am DISGUSTED!”

Easy there, Pal. The Steelers contributed heavily to Obama the Most Magnificent. The Steelers have lost all crediblity to me since then . . . a worthless organization . . . can’t imagine giving that illegal alien a dime . . . but the Steelers did! He’s just thanking them for their support.

Just out of curiosity, isn’t it typical for the president to not pick a favorite and just wish both teams well?

I believe that is the case even when the President is a graduate of one of the institutions.

And, if the President attends, he changes sides at halftime.

I thought Presidents stayed neutral on these kinds of things unless the state they’re from is being represented in a championship event (like Arkansas/Clinton during the NCAA Basketball Finals in the 90’s). If the Bears were in it, I’d have no problem with Obie showing alliegance. The Steelers? He’s full of s**t....

Obama is a disaster less than 2 weeks into his Prsidency!

He's a child in a man's body.

I can only remember Bush selecting a team during the Army Navy games, for obvious reasons. ;-)

Another East Coast NFL elitist. Just one more reason to hate the guy.

That only applies when there is an adult occupying the White House. Obama probably tells his daughters which one of them is his favorite kid when they ask him.

Nowadays, Black is gold, and Obama has the keys to the Kingdom, mostly because he is black.

It is revolting. The man is so completly unqualified, but then again...Who is qualified after all to be President of the United States?

Certainly not very many.
