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.
Oh, yeah. I can see it now. President Bush floating through the air in ultra slo-mo, (choreographed with speshul fx,) as a fairy, ballet-like super deity pretending to catch a football in midair and tossing it to a po chile in need of his special protekshun.
mmm mmm mmm
If Bush did that, he would deserve derision from me and from wherever else it could come from.
But see, HE wouldn’t DO THAT. So your argument sounds a little poofy. Got a toothache or something?
And I should grow up?
where can i buy some?
BUNCHES AND BUNCHES
Just when I was getting tempted to start watching the NFL again, they remind me who they really are: stupid jerks.
After watching said video, it is clear that Zero has never played football.
He’s effeminate.
I hear he likes tight ends who also double as wide receivers...
