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.

It was an excellent game. Congrats to the USA hockey team on their silver medals.
JJAYNED commented:
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.
Glockfixer commented:
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!

Ehhh…this is a non story imho. What, he’s going to root for Finland or something? Come on, I know he hates the United States, but really.

I remember when the UK Wildcats become the #1 basketball team. Obama gave the team a phone call of congratulations. They lost that night.
ac commented:
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.
myna commented:
Oh my everything he touches turn to stone. Reid next?
Costa commented:
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?
Moright commented:
Oh good, he’s coming to STL for a Claire McCaskill fundraiser -hope he works his magic!
Militant Conservative commented:
Barry has the Midas touch in reverse.
Everything he touches turn to excrement.
Greg commented:
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.
Militant Conservative commented:
Hey greg,
WHAAAAAAAAA.
Ridicule works against political opponents.
Barry is the embaressment.

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
Aaron commented:
I agree with Greg on this one. This type of stuff turns fair minded people away.
Militant Conservative commented:
Good, I’m not fair, I’m right.
The object of a fight/war is to win.
politics is a “blood sport”.
Last time I looked the left is very bloody and damaged. LOL weenies.

Aaron, it’s the Booger King himself that’s turned fair minded people away….
Get with the zeitgeist….

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.
Militant Conservative commented:
jcf,
good use of the term zeitgeist.
wonder how many lib’s are going to have to google the word to learn it’s meaning. LOL
kinda like shooting fish in a barrel.
Charlie Gibson commented:
I see the concern trolls are out shaming early this morning. Time to put on the paper hat and go to work.
Auntie Em commented:
He should have kept his ‘luck’ out of it. I blame him for our loss….he blames Booooosh!
Charlie Gibson commented:
Aaron and Greg, you must’ve missed this.
vsatt commented:
When Obama first came out in favor of the Saints for the Super Bowl, all my friends down here in NOLA said “oh great, we’re screwed.” Then at the last minute he switched and said he favored the Colts to win. Woohoo! What a gift that turned out to be for New Orleans!
Hey Barack, do you think on Nov. 26 you could pull for Alabama over Auburn? I’d really appreciate it.
proudconservative commented:
I like my bro’s point on this and that would be: Can any country win a gold without US atheletes?
anon commented:
I hope Obama pays for Harper’s beer himself, but, knowing Obama, he’ll stick it in the health care bill and say it helps Harper’s arteries.
jim commented:
President Reparations-by-other-means is the kiss of death for everyone in America who isn’t a mooch.
Aaron commented:
@ Militant Conservative/jcf: Ok, blindly follow your ideology then. Who needs the powers of reasoning when a group can do it for you?
My point is that the premise of the argument for this post is flawed in the aggregate and one’s ideology should not blind that fact.
Conservatives need thinkers, not prisoners to emotions and ‘get-with-the-times’ reasoning like the liberals.

To those who don’t like the fact we’re mocking Obama?
Maybe – just maybe – if this guy kept his trap shut on things that don’t matter, we wouldn’t be making fun of him when it blows up in his face?
Ever think of that?
Joanne commented:
Sorry people, Obama didn’t have anything to do with the U.S. losing the hockey game. Two words come to mind – “Sidney Crosby”; every country should have at least one. Heh, heh.
Reader commented:
I don’t know why some people are angry at a little light-heartedness towards Obama.
That is just fun stuff while he goes about destroying America.

Barry is the Idealogue,
Me, I have history of this great country and my families success that proves what works and what does not. Hard work and rugged individualism is what made America great. Not being P.C. or wimpy. Can’t stand the heat or like the truth travel elsewhere.
Questioman commented:
Reader, you and your friends are the biggest anti-american pieces of crap. today Americans are now happy that U.S. lost so they can spew their hate towards Obama because he hoped the U.S.
jimg, take your own advice and you shut the hell up.
Militant Conservative, it’s idiots like you that why the world laughing at us listening to dumbass like Rush. Obama wasn’t the coach. only Aaron, Joanne, and Greg are making sense.
I wish to know what you anti-american pieces of crap would do if Obama chose Canada. You guys must hate supporting America!

Your such a teachable moment,
You could not go one sentence without resorting to cussing and bending the truth.
I served in the U.S.N. and the DoD to protect your right to spew your drivil and hate.
Now I work in the medical indusrty, endoscopy and arthroscopy. Have you even seen the media outside the U.S. and what they think of our current occupant of the WH? I thought so.
He is an abject failure and a total Socialist Narcissist. I me me I is all we hear from his speaches.
We are commenting on his abitlity to choose the exact incorrect side of any argument. Barry is a loser and your gonna go down with him.
Not because of hate or anything else but misplaced loyalty. Respect is earned, Barry is nothing to respect. Does’nt even wear a tie or put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. Feet on the desk of the white house.
He is trash and unworthy of the office he occupies. Like I said, He’s an affirmative action hire for the office of the president. How’s that working out for you. LOL
He’s distroying America and is a traitor to the constitution.
Now then. Check the text and tell me who is more able to make an argument, neophyte.

I’m surprise he was rooting for the USA, he is very anti-American.
BrewBoy commented:
Hope that O’s midas touch does not hurt Yuengling. It’s a great brewer – America’s oldest. Brewed in PA (and FL), and could be considered “regional” because it is not widely distributed in the midwest and far west. It is the 4th largest brewer in the US – it’s actually bigger than Sam Adams, but they don’t want to admit that. The “eagle” is theirs!
