WTF?


No icing here: Obama pays warm tribute to Boston Bruins for 2011 Stanley Cup championship


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is honoring the NHL’s Boston Bruins for their 2011 Stanley Cup championship and their charitable work off the ice.

Obama hosted the six-time champions at a White House ceremony Monday afternoon.

The Bruins won their first Stanley Cup title in 39 years last June after a bruising seven-game final series against the Vancouver Canucks.

It was the latest in a string of Boston professional sports championships in recent years, including the Celtics in 2008, the Red Sox in 2007 and the New England Patriots in 2005. The Patriots play in next month’s Super Bowl.

Obama says, “the Bruins, the Sox, the Celtics, now the Patriots. Enough already, Boston.”

The White House said the Boston Bruins Foundation has donated more than $7 million to charities in New England.

He's a communist. He thinks championships should be distributed equally among sports franchises.

Boston, I know you'll vote for me no matter what I say so take that!

It's just a bald faced lie to say that President Obama was hating on Boston.
It was a humorous compliment.

even the headline acknowledges that: "Obama pays warm tribute to Boston Bruins for 2011 Stanley Cup championship"

nahhhhhh he's chummy with Deval...... s'all good bro.

It's incredibly insulting to make the claim (here on this board, with a group of socially progressive individuals) that people oppose this president because he is black. If you frequent the P&R forum, you know darn well people have plenty of legitimate reasons for questioning the policies of Obama.

I have several reason s to question Obama. But the items in that list do not apply . If people hold more than one of those views, either they are ignorant, or they have another secret reason. IMO

I guess, because the thread and IASW's post was clearly a joke.

And it is the peak of ignorance to assume that there aren't any people who oppose him because he is black.

1. IASW was calling him a communist. That image is particularly directed at folks who call him a communist. Not people who question his policies.
2. I assume IASW was making a joke, and my answer continues in his vein.

I didn't say that. It was posted here on GOTV board therefore directed at people here. I give the people here a bit more credit.

[Deadshow Dan]

Jack since you do that all the time, I guess you see that in others.

What happened is IASW make a comment, which I took as humorous, and I followed up in the same vein.

[Deadshow Dan]

I didn't say that. It was posted here on GOTV board therefore directed at people here. I give the people here a bit more credit.

The image is directed at people who... well the image says all the things they say. If you say those things, the person who made that image is directing it at you.

IASW called the President of the United States a communist, presumably jokingly. Perfect comedic response.

[china cat]

Sorry, didn't realize your post was comedy, Dan. Didn't read that way to me.

[Joker]

Is that really how it works?

It's just a bald faced lie to say ...

[china cat]

but you chose to repost. you are directing it at us as well, no? Do you think people here who use socialism and Obama in the same sentence, don't like Obama because he is black? Just curious.

Clinton was a called a socialist for trying to socialize healthcare. What role did racism play there? Bush was called a Nazi, what role did racism play there?

[china cat]

whatever, I don't want to involve myself in this. I'm out.

that was my guess. I can't know what's in your head.

nope.

I was jokingly directing it to a someone who jokingly, I expect, was calling the President a communist.

[Tim the Beek]

Dammit! There go our chances of making out...

[Depends]

Remember when Gordie Howe was st the White House? And Reagan told the story of how, as a child he would sit on his grandmothers knee and watch Gordie play? That was hockey/white house gold .

The poop that crosses the ethnic divide will unite us all

[TakeAStepBack]

Nice. Lets divide that sucker up fairly.

[Deadshow Dan]

oh, and congratulations to the all the Bruins, except for Tim Thomas, who like Jack wanted to turn this into a political comment and didn't go to the White House. Certainly his right.

But he is a damn good goalie.
