The National Football League has become an arm of the Obama administration with its partnership with Obama's "United We Serve" program.
A video posted by the Obama administration to YouTube this week that is planned to air during broadcasts of the NFL's Thanksgiving Day games shows Barack Obama playing football on the White House lawn.
The one-minute-thirty-second propaganda video is entitled, President Obama, United We Serve, and the NFL Team Up for Fitness and Service and is described by the administration on the site:
In support of his United We Serve initiative, President Obama and NFL stars Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, and Troy Polamalu team up to highlight the importance of fitness for America's children. The NFLs Play 60 initiative stresses that young people can live a healthy lifestyle by engaging in 60 minutes of physical activity a day. The Presidents United We Serve initiative encourages all Americans to get engaged in their communities and help create a brighter future for our nations youth through service.
The video weaves in footage of football on the South Lawn of the White House with other football and service imagery.
Obama is seen in ultra-slow-motion running to make a finger-tip catch from the Saints' Brees and then lateraling the ball to a child.
The National Obama Football League blends Kennedy-esque iconography with 21st century video wizardry to make Obama appear as a heroic athlete.
The video closes with an invitation to "join the movement at NFLRUSH.com."
Looks like the NFL will be missing a few fans on Turkey Day, including this former fan.
Lame move. Don’t we have enough photos of the current POTUS at play? It seems that’s all he does.
Too bad the NFL has become a party of the stupid.
Yes, I miss Bush....
Dammit - I am so sick of this s**t. You literally cannot get away from it - Obama is everywhere. I can’t even watch a damn football game on Thanksgiving without having to look at his face and hear his propaganda machine.
Gag me. This man (obama) has made himself the centerpiece of every single thing we do. This is not normal and it’s not appropriate. In fact, it’s freaky to have to think about him 24/7.
Same here...don't even miss it.
Ironically, the website is www.nflrush.com No joke.
Someone told me the other day the “N” in NFL stood for National. I was surprised.
I see this as a golden opportunity for the world to see what a doofus this clown is. After seeing pictures of him saluting (looking like an idiot), riding a bike (looking like a dork), watching two guys fighting (and shrinking back like a girl who’s seen a mouse), I expect he will be a laughingstock. He really ought to stick to golf, where all he has to do is wear a golf shirt and walk around with a club in his hand. At least with golf it’s not so noticeable that he’s a total fake.
Thanksgiving Day is for college football anyway.
Maybe Zero can run a few mammograms at halftime for United Way...Democrat women only, of course.
Comments inline:
"United We Serve" is a nationwide service initiative that will help meet growing social needs resulting from the economic downturn which we created.With the knowledge that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools (meaning hand-outs), President Obama is asking us to come together to help lay a new foundation for growth called socialism. This initiative aims to both expand the impact of existing organizations (failed government programs, that is) by engaging new volunteers in their work and encourage (indoctrinate) volunteers to develop their own "do-it-yourself" projects. United We Serve is an initial 81 days of service but will grow (otherwise known as stop-loss) into a sustained, collaborative (marxist) and focused effort to promote service (OBEY) as a way of life for all Americans.
I now understand
Are we to believe that Obama and Andy Stern has come up with a list that people can do to serve and what they can’t do? The boy scouts have been showing our young men about service very well.
Or were those 22 visits just killing time over beers.
Don’t we get enough of this turd jammed down our throats on a daily basis, now we get him on Thanksgiving as well?
Spare us.
Football....and a little “coke”, too.
I get to do three years active Army, plus another four in the Guard, and this idiot, who did nothing at all, gets to talk about service???
While I strongly believe I’m about to be serviced in detail, I don’t need to either see or hear this $hithead, so no NFL for me on Thanksgiving.
No one really believed Orwell’s 1984 could ever be a reality. Ditto Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange.
I guess they had to wait for a large portion of the current generations currently living to be this dumbed down, gutless, PC, and morally bankrupt before it could happen....
Here we are...
As I posted elsewhere, BO and his hulking bride, the Worst Lady, if nothing else, are shattering a long-held sterotype about blacks and proving it to be fiction.
The stereotype that all blacks are cool....
I was just sayin’ last night that Obama should make more television appearances. We really don’t get to see that much of him.
