The White House weighed in on the blown call that cost the Green Bay Packers the football game last night against the Seattle Super Hawks. Via the pool report, from aboard Air Force One:
Carney ... was eager to weigh in on an issue he called a “pressing matter,” “astounding” and “very distressing” -- the end of the Packers-Seahawks game.
Carney said he had talked to the president this morning about it.
Carney noted that the president had discussed the issue last week in an interview with a Cleveland radio station and “as a sports fan he thought it was time to get back to the regular refs. "
"This morning I talked to him about the end of the Packers-Seahawks game and he said that what happened in that game is a perfect example of why both sides need to come together, resolve their differences so that the regular refs can get back on the field and we can start focusing on a game that so many of us love rather than debating whether of not a game is won or lost because of a bad call."
"He thinks there were real problems with the call."

Beyond his pay grade....
It’s just a bump in the road.....
Too bad they couldn’t avoid it by feeding an ambassador or two to the crocodiles...
LOLOL
Carney thrilled that no lie was necessary.
For sure.
Gee, did I miss him weighing in on the Chicago teachers strike?!
The refs acted stupidly, and I’d like to invite Tate and Jennings to a Gatorade summit on the WH lawn to exploit this teachable moment.
Time for a beer summit. Netanyahu will just have to sit by the phone and wait.
“And I say this as a Bears fan, who obviously is never heartbroken when the Packers lose, but it’s not just this game,” Obama said.”
Will Obama accuse the refs of “Acting stupidly?” Obama, quick to respond to a football game, meanwhile 4 Dead Americans get slaughtered in Libya, not a peep
It's just a 'bump in the road'.
Then we need a gatorade summit
Whoa, wait. This really isn’t satire! The POTUS really said that? Hahahaha!!
He has time for the View, Letterman, and to discuss something way above his pay scale, but no time for Netanyahu?
easy call huh mr. president. always take the union over the owner’s side.
What does the president have against hockey?
