Kiss of Death… Obama Picks US Hockey Team Over Canada; Team USA Loses in OT

Kiss of death…
Obama picked Team USA over Canada in the Olympic final yesterday. They lost in OT.
Freep.com reported:

Something is brewing in U.S.-Canada relations. And it’s on Olympic ice.

President Barack Obama bet a case of beer with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the outcome of Sunday’s U.S.-Canada game.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama will send a case of Yuengling, a Pennsylvania regional brew, to Harper, who wagered 24 bottles of Molson.

There was no word on where the cross-border exchange would occur.

From the day that Obama refused to go to Vancouver, and sent Biden instead, America did great. Too bad that at the last minute Obama inserted himself, but the game was great. Obama could just not help himself from trying to claim some of the glory.

Look at obama’s record of people he has supported. Glad to see barry’s recod is still untarnished. He is batting 1000! And to think, he’s backing Scary Reid and Company for the November elections. Here is to hoping his record stays perfect!

I remember when the UK Wildcats become the #1 basketball team. Obama gave the team a phone call of congratulations. They lost that night.

Since last week’s nose mining incident at the health care summit, the words “pick” and “Obama” should never be used in the same sentence.

He’s Madusa (sp)!

No class whatsoever coming out of the White House. He thinks this is cool, funny stuff. Betting cases of beer with another country? Its “fratty” and chidish.

Non news. Where are the jobs?

Are you people totally deranged? Is anyone supposed to take anything you say seriously on real matters when you prattle on like this?

Good grief, have some dignity.

Would you deny Obama this, his one success? The Community Organizer in Chief has made Saul Alinsky’s rule more widely known, and more widely used, than ever before.

Here you see Rule number 5, “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”, and rule number 6, “A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”” being combined.

Obviously, this has had it’s intended effect,”…it infuriates the opposition…”. Are you feeling picked, frozen, personalized, and polarized?

We done good, hunh?

lol

Good, I’m not fair, I’m right.
The object of a fight/war is to win.

The 12th imam (who is to enslave the world) is living in the White House.

You read that, greg? Now, STFU.

The nothing in the oval office has answers for any problem: raise taxes; print money that will need to be repaid by whom????; and hate the white, rich man.

Look at the facts – unemployment, foreclosures, home sales, etc. All much worse since he was elected.

Know why? Because the private sector – producers of goods, services and jobs doesn’t know whether to defecate or go blind – who knows what crazy economic destruction plot (seize health, raise energy prices by 80% to save the earth from the great lie – GW, regulate breathing, etc.) he and Emmanuel will come out with next?

It’s fact. Facts aren’t affected by your liberals’ weeping, whining, gnashing of teeth, or insults and lies.
