Shattuck: New England Patriots Spotlight intercepted
The Boston Herald ^ | 04-24-15 | Tom Shattuck

It was a day that should have belonged to the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, but in a reversal of last February’s fortune it came to a dramatic and sudden halt.

Interception, Obama.

The president called a very different play as the champs gathered at the White House South Lawn to accept an attaboy for their Super Bowl victory.

But the egotist in chief made it all about him.

“I usually tell a bunch of jokes at these events,” he mused, “but with the Patriots in town I was worried that 11 of 12 of them would fall flat.”

Ugh, a Deflategate joke.

Only in Seattle on Super Bowl Sunday did the oxygen leave the room quicker. There is more oxygen in Seattle Slew.

If you were unlucky enough to endure the awkward and pathetic display by the president at the White House yesterday you can at least take comfort in knowing that the play clock on this vain administration mercifully runs out in January 2017, leaving those Super Bowl champs in better hands.

And all the media can talk about is how Tom Brady somehow dissed Obama by not showing up.

Why are these events even staged anymore? To most of the players the White House is about as glamorous as their pool house.

There’s some things about Tom Brady that I don’t like, but I have more respect for him now that he snubbed Obama at this event. He can’t be all bad.

So Tom Brady comes out a winner once again. Smart man not to be a punching bag and publicity prop for the skinny ego-maniac in the White Hut.

Is there ANYTHING in this WORLD that is not about OBAMA??? I guess not; the world revolves around him, to himself and the lapdog Media.

Good point. While Squaw Warren is a native of Oklahoma, she views Massachusetts as her adopted home.
