W.H. confirms Obama discussed Vick
HONOLULU - The White House confirmed Monday that President
Barack Obama praised Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie for
giving a second chance to quarterback Michael Vick, who played for
the team after serving time in prison for running a dog-fighting
ring.
“The president did place a call to Mr. Lurie to discuss plans
for the use of alternative energy at Lincoln Financial Field,
during which they spoke about that and other issues,” deputy White
House press secretary Bill Burton said in a statement.
Whew. It wasn’t a presidential call to discuss free agency
signings. But other things, too, like reminding them to make sure
the press release said windmills, not solar
panels, would now light up those night games. Thank goodness
this master of prioritization’s hand guides the helm of our ship of
state. He’s going to focus singularly on the economy, incidentally.
Beginning sometime tomorrow. After a pivot to school uniforms for
ex-cons earning Davis-Bacon wages to install stimulus-funded
foreign-made wind-powered “energy of the future” (from the past)
thingys. Important stuff.
I’d be worried that this was really true except it’s
Peter King that broke the story.

Once again, Obama rearranges the deck chairs on The Titanic.
Next, He'll have The Grambling State U. Band playin' "Near, My God, To Thee"

Next he'll be scheduling the White House Tennis Court time, like his hero and role model.

And why not - BHO favors those who have a heart after his own heart!
