President Barack Obama honored NASCAR champion Tony Stewart at the White House on Tuesday and joked that he hoped the driver could give him some advice on dealing with the media.

"I invited Tony here today because of what he did on the track, but… I was hoping he would give me some tips on the media," the president said, adding that Stewart has a "quiet, reserved personality.

"I figured I would stay out of trouble if Tony could give me some advice on that," Obama said.

That’s kind of like asking for advice on batting against the girls’ softball team.

I became a Stewart fan after he tried to punch Nelson in the face.

He would be better off asking the communist party. They control the media today.

Well, he asked Abraham Lincoln for advice and Abe said, “Go to the theater” but I guess Obama didn’t follow up on that.

“I” invited Tony here...

“I” was hoping he’d give me tips...

“I” figured “I” would...

Can the man speak without using the word “I”?

And I’m guessing obama didn’t even know who Stewart was before his staff told him they invited him.

I can see him at the next presser:

“Well, DW, the UAW-Communist Party-Planned Parenthood Chevy Volt was pulling a little left today. But, that’s the way we want to go anyway.”

This article is also yet another example of poor journalism. Tony Stewart did not win his third straight Sprint Cup Championship last year. The Sprint Cup Champion was Jimmie Johnson from 2006-2010.

Tony told him “ Resign Today and get your Arse back to Kenya”.

On Barack`s interest group list:

Feign outreach to NASCAR and make a token gesture toward the idiot redneck “clingers.”...CHECK

Anita Dunn (former WH Communications Director): ‘The smartest thing we did (during the run-up to the 2008 election) was MANAGE THE MEDIA’. They own Big Media but still pretend they are treated unfairly. Does King Barack want a bejeweled crown and a robe outlined in ermine? GUESS SO!

Get a driver’s license by producing a valid birth certificate.

My advice Barry, go into the bathroom, close the door, and slit your throat.
