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."

I wish every man in Wisconsin (and the country for that matter) was as angry about what Obama is doing to our country as they are about a bad NFL call against the Packers. Maybe THEN they would stand up as men and protect their wives and children from tyranny. It is a shame that the only Samuel Adams our young people know about is the beer.

The refs acted stupidly?
I am a rabid Packer fan and I’m furious about this call. But I can’t imagine how the families of the four men we lost must feel about the way the White House is mishandling this and projecting a total lack of sobriety about a mass murder.
I think the refs had a Beer Summit at halftime :)
The blown call was made by the American voters in 2008.
“Clearly, the ref made the bad call”
I think the ref made the right call, just because all you packer fans wanted the ref to call the gamne for you doesn’t make it a bad call!
But the murder of our Ambassador is a bump in the road.
You might even say it was “A Bump in the Road.”
Jackwagons eager to comment on the bullshit, and run from the controversy and responsibility.
The White House wants to talk about anything other than the fact that the US Ambassador to Libya was killed through the sheer incompetence of Obama and his Secretary of State.

The bad call was Bush’s fault.
Is there ANYTHING that President Douchebag won’t comment on? Why is a President of the United States taking an official position on a football call? Total insanity.
It was a bad call. As a Vikings fan I liked the call, but it was wrong.
“pressing matter,” “astounding” and “very distressing”: a football game
“a bump in the road”: four Americans killed by Islamic maniacs
Incredible
Dittos *every* *word* you said.
I’m not a Packers fan, and I actually like both teams. But the pass interference was blatant and was not called. He just shoved a defender to the ground who was right in front of him.
To be fair, interference is never called on a Hail Mary play. For either side. I am not sure why.
The Middle East is on the verge of erupting into WWIII, and King Barry is worried about a football game, and he can’t meet with the leader of one of our allies, but somehow he has time to proclaim that he is “eye candy” on some foolish TV show.
Pathetic. Truly pathetic.
