If I were a driver, I would tell the press exactly why I was not going...And watch their heads explode.

I knew the AP/MSM obama ass-lickers were going to make a fuss about this. The “how could you not come visit our god and master” questioning make one want to puke.

Stewart is a good liar. Motorsports is an American thing, and NASCAR is the most American of all of the venues. These guys salute the flag, listen with their hats over their hearts when the national anthem is sung at the track, and they are mostly Christians who pray before they race. FUBO is the antithesis of all of these values.

What is the political motive of the White House for inviting these people?

Notice AP doesn’t care about THAT.

The Wan’s batting a thousand this week on scheduling, isn’t he?

I think it’s hilarious. Those conservative, white, good ‘ole boys he hoped to rub their noses in it just showed him that they weren’t going to drop everything and run up to the WH for a BHO campaign photo op :-)

HAMPTON, Ga. – All four of the 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers who won’t visit the White House next Wednesday insisted they have scheduling conflicts, not political issues with President Barrack Obama.

The four – Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick – had longstanding commitments to their sponsors and race teams that couldn’t be changed, especially with less than a two-week notice.

“I read where I rejected it. That’s not true,” Biffle said. “I can’t go. I have a prior obligation. I didn’t reject anything. Rejecting something means I won’t go. I can’t go. There’s a difference. I got an invitation before. I went, met him, I got a photo on my bookshelf in my office at my house of us shaking hands.”

Biffle will be at the 3M customer service day, an annual event of employees and customers of the company that sponsors his race car.

speculation the four were making some sort of protest about Obama's policies

Isn't it just like those rednecks - playin' the "politics" card, instead of standing up and saying it's about race.

Follow up a refusal worthy of respect with some whiny backpedaling and pandering.

Way to go, guys !

Normally, the President invites teams to the White House after the season is over. This time, however, he is inviting people right in the midst of their busy racing season. Whoever in the White House dreamed this visit up is a dope.

Yeah but their fingers were crossed behind their backs when they said it... this came from the legal eagles at NASCAR... obama owns the IRS and other tools that can be used to harm NASCAR.

NASCAR participants love their country, TOTUS wants to fundamentally change the country. You are the company that you keep...

I will, after all the contempt and disdain Obama has for everyone else is reflected in this little ditty, remember?

“So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustration.”

Is it so surprising that the contempt average Americans have for Obama is reflected back at him?

Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards.

While I have absolutely no issue with the drivers who will accept the gratuitous and insincere invitation from Mister Obama (who does not know a hemi from an ashtray) ...

...the above four drivers are, as of now, the new heroes of NASCAR, and clever t-shirts and bumper stickers and even songs will soon be upon us (and remain forever in NASCAR lore.)

Betcha.
