Five NASCAR Drivers Decline President Obama’s White House Invitation
President Barack Obama will honor NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and the 11 other Chase drivers from last year in a White House ceremony on Wednesday – but nearly half of the 2010 playoff contenders won’t be there.
NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to “schedule conflicts.”
Obama has never watched a NASCAR race in his life. He openly despises and mocks the very people who are NASCAR fans. If you want to be surrounded by Bible & Gun Clinging, red-blooded patriotic Americans, get your ass down to the oval track on Sunday. Again…not Obama’s kind of people.
Can you imagine Obama sitting in the stands at Talladega, with a Juan Pablo Montoya (you know, you just know if Obama was a NASCAR fan, he’d be Montoya fan) t-shirt and a 16 oz plastic cup full of warm Natural Light cheering as the cars screamed around the track?
Nope…neither can I.
Jeff Gluck at SB Nation has hit little girl panties in a twist over their dismissal of Obama’s invite:
