UPDATE: White House press secretary Jay Carney echoed the president's comments, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that the league's officiating has been "astounding" and "distressing." Carney said the president believes "there was a real problem" with the officiating at Monday night's game

[ColdOne]

"astounding" and "distressing" Wow Jay, that pretty much sums up your administration.

[sanjuanbob]

Fix it for us please Obama...yes you can.

Obama Administration reacting with more anger over a football game than the murders of 4 Americans in Libya

WI is a battleground state. WA is locked up for Obama.

[kevkrom]

And in a more timely fashion.

[JennysCool]

If Obama believed in God, he would understand that this is just the Almighty’s long-delayed make-up call for the 2006 Super Bowl.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yep, blown call happens last night, Obama and his Administration react this morning..4 Americans are slaughtered in Libya, the Obama Administration waits, and waits, than finally a statement, yep its an apology to the Muslims..than they get pissed at Romney for telling the truth about the terrorist attack..and STILL Obama is apologizing to the Arabs

[BuckeyeTexan]

Where’s he finding time to watch football, what with his heavy schedule of View, Letterman, Beyonce, etc, etc appearances? Did he cut back on his golf or sofa time?

[RatRipper]

In my best Church Lady voice:

Well now . . . isn’t that presidential???!!

Paul Ryan Compares NFL Replacement Refs with Obama

[TigerClaws]

Nice line.

Surprised Obama didn’t blame the video.

[BilLies]

Kind of reminds me of the husband who proudly puffed out his chest and said:
“My wife and her staff make the small decisions like: what do we have for dinner; do we need a new car; a new house; which school do send the kids to; when should we go to War? ....and I make the big decisions like picking the March Madness Brackets, the quality of football officiating, the quality of the Police in Cambridge MA and who do we support for President......and I almost forgot, which golf course do I play this week.”

[kenmcg]

Shows what a hypocrit Obama is. The replacement refs are a similar program to affirmative action. Isn't giving the replacements tantamount to giving them “equal shot”? It's the same when you give a job to someone based on race, religion, sexual makeup etc. without regard to competence, education and the ability to get the job done. Let's face it Obama as POTUS is no better than the replacement refs.

[conservaKate]

LOL! I am from WA state and I fully acknowledge that GB should have won that game. IMO that was a blown call.

But then, the whole game was horribly officiated.

Can’t believe O even commented on it. Why does he even know about the stupid game?

Unfreakingbelievable.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hell Im shocked Obama hasn’t accused the refs of “acting stupidly” LOL.

[JohnD9207]

In the real world the NFL is a road bump moron, everything on fire from Indonesia to Africa is a big F’n (Biden) deal.Mr Obama the world you exist in doesn’t exist.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama doesn’t care, everything he does is calculated, he only “Cares” because its Green Bay and Wisconsin is a swing state
