Here's an interesting note from Florida's camp heading into Saturday's big game ...

President Barack Obama is rooting for Florida to beat Alabama on Saturday, according to Gators right tackle Marcus Gilbert, whose father Jeff helped protect Obama as a U.S. Secret Service agent during his president campaign.

According to the Palm Beach Post ...

Marcus said Obama often asks his dad how Marcus and the Gators are doing.

"He's rooting for us all the way, like he did last year," Gilbert said.

I feel sorry for myself. Can he stay out of nothing? Could he at least be neutral.
This personalizing every thread calling Romney a baby butcher is exactly what gives the “religious right” a bad name. Won’t change any minds. Is giving FR a hateful image. I am surprised they are wasting the bandwidth and time. I am amazed they are consumed with such hatred. Very sad.

We watch the great competitive game of football every Saturday and Sunday during the fall in this country. The game embodies the values of commitment to excellence, competitive spirit and fair play that has been instrumental over the years in making this country great.

Obama’s vision of government dominance in society by taxing the successful and productive into submission in order to purchase the votes of the lazy and unproductive holds these time tested values in utter contempt. Obama having any interest in competitive sports represents the ultimate in hypocrisy.
