Kudos to the President

[MS Fowler]

For those who wonder if i can say anything positive about the President, the answer is "YES".
He did a marvelous job welcoming and celebrating the Baltimore Ravens as Super Bowl Champs.
His speech was spot-on, hitting all the key points for the Ravens and their season. The speech writer made one tiny gaff, Flacco is from NJ; not Del--although he graduated from Del. State.

To the president's credit he avoided any politicization of the event. It was the celebration it should have been.
Well done, Mr president.

WGAS about pro sports when the government is grabbing millions of citizen's phone records?

Yes, his command of sports is quite good. He's a good Father too. Too bad..... oh never mind.

oh well...sorry. I hate pro sports

I saw a clip of him throwing a football with Governor Christy. I am sure he knows nothing about the sport or GAS, except another photo opportunity in both cases.

His command of the March Madness brackets is terrible. I had already turned in mine, and then saw that he had taken IU to take it all and said there goes five whole dollars because I had them also.

Have you heard of the phrase "Damning with faint praise"?


Hunter S. Thompson writes of a personal interview he had with Richard Nixon in "Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72":

Whatever else might be said about Nixon-and there is still serious doubt in my mind that he could pass for Human-he is a goddamn stone fanatic on every facet of pro football. At one point in our conversation, when I was feeling a bit pressed for leverage, I mentioned a down & out pass-in the waning moments of the 1967 Super Bowl mismatch between Green Bay and Oakland-to an obscure, second-string Oakland receiver named Bill Miller that had stuck in my mind because of it's pin-point style & precision.
He hesitated for a moment, lost in thought, then he whacked me on the thigh& laughed: "That's right, by God! The Miami boy!"
I was stunned. He not only remembered the play, but he knew where Miller had played in college.

Obama is not Richard Nixon.
