Obama, NFL Players Star in Thanksgiving Day PSA
The PSA will air during 3 Thanksgiving-day football games.

Love the slo-mo catch by President Obama!

1. I will now patiently wait for conservative bloggers to boycott the NFL.
Because if we learned one thing from Obama's PSA to school children, it's that that damned socialist cannot be allowed to speak to anyone, ever.

4. Yeah! He's oppressing our freedom to not exercise!
This is a free country, dammit, and if I want to not exercise, the president can't tell me otherwise! Tyranny! Tyranny!!!!!!11!

9. Bloggers can boycott all they want. NFL ratings keep increasing regularly
There was an article a few weeks back indicating that the NFL is experiencing their best ratings ever for televised games.

One theory was that because of the economy people are choosing to spend weekends inside vs. spending money and are having people over to watch the games.

Hell, even on Free Republic the diehard football fans are staying with the game vs. boycotting over the NFL telling Limbaugh "thanks, but no thanks."

5. I saw that on CNN last night...
I have been stuck in a hotel room with nothing else to watch. The biggest bull was the caption the read something to the effect "Thin President films PSA fighting obesity." I can't believe they're adding "thin President" to the list of ways to criticize our President.

7. A thread on the Saints board got moved to the trash bin pretty quickly
You can not get a group of football fans together and mention Obama without the insanity rearing it's ugly head.

Most people loved it. When's the last time anybody saw a Saints player shown in any positive light that would be highlighted in a commercial. Praise Breesus!

11. An added bonus---it must tear Rush Limbaugh apart
Obama gets to play with the football stars, and Rush is persona non grata.

15. Is the President available for the next few Sundays?
With Dwayne Bowe suspended, the Chiefs are hurting for decent wide receivers.
