Barack Obama Watches 3 Football Games at Once While Solving Health Care Crisis

December 17, 2009 at 7:30 am | Barack Obama, Football
By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Have you ever had one of those Sundays during the football season where you have work to do that you can’t put off?  Usually those days end up with you on the couch, your work on your lap, watching 12 hours of football and getting maybe an hour or two of work done.  The President of the U.S. is no different.  Except for the part where he has three mounted flat screens above his desk.  Otherwise he’s just like us.

No wonder the Senate can’t pass it filibuster-proof.

Hey he can solve healthcare, and cheer for the bears at the same time. I listen to my girlfriend and watch football all the time. It’s easy. I just zone her out.

That’s the least I’d do if I were in his position. Imagine how depressing it is to be working on a Sunday afternoon.

Also, it looks like the left TV is turned to a speech of sorts.

Looks like a bar with a laptop and printers.

That is not his desk, that’s a kitchen. Where did you get the info he was working?

I love it when wingnuts demonstrate an inability to read. Here is the Flickr caption: “President Barack Obama watches a televised football game in a holding room before a campaign rally at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Nov. 1, 2009. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy)”

Sweet!! Would take a lot of focus to get anything done in an office like that.

@Mr. S – Obama isn’t looking to the left… his eye is right the F* on.

Seriously though, I think Obama is doing a good job – I’m glad he gets a chance to watch a little football.

Read the cutline:

Doesn’t sound like his desk to me.

From a modern American’s perspective, it’d be a tragedy if our president couldn’t catch a minute of sunday laate-season football. If we had to partition the serious affair jobs off to advisers and responsible cabinet members, then so be it. The president in America has to fulfill his role a cultural icon. No one can do that for him.

First off, it shows the back of someone watching 3 football games, what the hell does healthcare have to do with this picture? Is he not allowed to watch football? Give me a break! This site is awful is making up crappy head lines just to get visitors for it’s advertisers.

Congress is the one that is solving the health care shit hole that we are currently in! Obama only has to sign the bill the that congress makes and gives him! Learn the facts before make crap articles like this up!!!

Aw, this was a really good quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done.
