Football fans have President Obama to thank for the settlement of differences between the National Football League and the referees’ union says Press Secretary Jay Carney.
“This thing had been lingering on for months, but within days of the President expressing his displeasure with the quality of the replacement refs the disagreements were settled,” Carney boasted. “This is the epitome of the type of leadership we’ve come to expect from the President.”
Carney contrasted President Obama’s decisive role with that of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. “While millions of football fans were suffering from substandard officiating what was Romney doing?” he asked. “There was no sign that he even cared about football. He didn’t condemn any bad calls. He didn’t even profess to have watched any games. Is this the kind of man voters want occupying the White House?”
Aside from his pitch to voters to reelect the football-loving President Obama, Carney expressed the hope that the returning unionized refs would “remember that the President is a Bears fan and would really like to see them win the Super Bowl this year.”

You were too easy this time, Semmens....the title gave it away (but just barely, since I wouldn’t put anything beyond the tactics of these pukes).
I used to think that Baghdad Bob Gibbs was the epitome of smarminess and bullsh*t, but this little puke pushes the envelope.....(and this is just an 'aside' -- I'm aware that this is a Semmens piece)
Oh my God, they took credit for something!!!! What s joke!
Well, since I’m a huge hockey fan, I’ll be sitting perched in front of my tv waiting for him to settle the hockey mess...being the big sports fan that he is....
Carney’s debasement of reality is breathtaking. I suspect it is impossible to embarrass this man.
Almost got me.
Do you write these crap headlines just to get people to click on your junk?
lighten up, francis.
LOL

If they haven’t claimed credit...it’s because they haven’t thought about it....yet. The weekend is not over.
I am so glad I caught that it was the semi-semi news before I read the piece! My blood was already boiling just reading the headline! You get me nearly every time! Good one!

You got me with the headline. I just figured it was true and was going to pass on the article then I saw your name. LOL
