U.S. President Barack Obama urges NHL and NHLPA to end lockout
Quote:
LOS ANGELES -- Barack Obama is urging the NHL and its players to resolve their labour dispute.

During an appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno on Wednesday, the U.S. president took time to answer questions submitted from viewers and the studio audience.

One fan from Los Angeles asked Obama if he could pull any strings to end the NHL's work stoppage.

"You know, I do have a comment on this," said Obama, who is campaigning for re-election. "Every time these things happen I just want to remind the owners and players: You guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard -- they buy tickets, they're watching on TV.

President Obama is the last person in America who should be urging bipartisan negotiation.

Exactly! He has nothing to gain from this in the polls. Nobody else is going to be talking about this. We've been saying the same thing here all along, but if a politician says it, well he's just trying to get votes. Talk about retarded.

Confused about all the hate here. President Obama was asked to comment about the lockout, and he commented about it in a reasonable and compromising fashion. So, in his typical Obama self. I guess people can't stand his calm yet masculine demeanor and would rather listen to people shouting at the top of their lungs a lot and/or just flat out lie.

I was with you until you used the word masculine... and... uuhhmmm... he may not shout at the top of his lungs but he is a politician... and... they flat out lie often... if you only stopped at compromising fashion even though the man knows nothing of that either (see politician).
