Why Did Obama’s Comments Draw Boos in Florida? (Hint: It Involves Sports)

Yesterday, while speaking to a crowd of Florida supporters, President Barack Obama made the unforced error of talking up a group that is apparently unpopular with a large contingent of Floridians – the Chicago Bears.

“In Illinois, there’s just one team: the Chicago Bears,” Obama said with a laugh. The crowd reacted with a series of catcalls and boos.

To be fair to the president, it’s not clear that the crowd was booing him, so much as his team.

    Anyone who thinks Obama has been a great president is obviously in need of mental health care!

    Waters,
    If you are a true American, you should believe that anything is possible with hard work. America can recover from this. Agreed that it will take work and time. but I think most people, when they come down to it, are willing to do so. Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.

    I’m not concerned about Romney getting in office, because he’ll throw himself under the bus.

    JESUS GOD, please help us wake people up. obama is satan’s tool to destroy AMERICA. We deserve it, LORD, for we as a nation have turned our backs on YOU.

    Oh, and LORD, football really isn’t that important. We forgot that part about “no graven images” and just fell head over heals in love with the emotion of it all for the past forty years or so. Sort of like we did voting for satan and our own destruction in 2008. Emotion over substance. That’s us in a nutshell, LORD.

    We ask YOUR forgiveness, LORD. We beg for YOUR mercy. We thank YOU for YOUR love, JESUS. Please, do not ever let us go. In YOUR name we do pray, amen.

      See here old woman, you speak of Graven Images, and the Commandment says neither from Heaven, the earth, or the waters under the earth. Yet, you enjoy the symbol of the Crucifix? But, you are supposed to mark the door of your house with the crucifix, and you do not do that, no, instead you put a crucifix on the door to your home. Not home, [House].

      One should ask themselves: if they can not sacrifice for a crucifix they can see, then how will they sacrifice for a crucifix they can not see – such as the blood of the lamb on the door of their house?

      Or one can look at it this way: if a people will vote entitlements; if a person wants the government to do for them in any fashion that puts a heavy debt burden on your children, and grandchildren. Those being children and [grandchildren whom you can see], then how can you love the Son of God whom you can not see?

      Now the matter of truth is that the light of God that gives life to all men is divided into all men to greater or lesser amounts. Moreover, even an Atheist will do the bidding of God while not knowing that which it is they do. Even an Atheist will try to steal away your graven images, and by default move the box all the way across the room if but only for the purpose of pushing your buttons. This is the Temple of the Lord – that being everything there is.

    Can this man say “I” without stuttering? What’s with the “I, I, I, ” all the time? Then his wife copies him as if it was an advantage to talk that way.

    The messiah shows his ignorance once again.

    After almost 4 years of Barry and his foot-in-moth gaffs ignored by the media, due to his extreme intelligence, and great crease in his pants, this type of goof shouldn’t be a surprise.

    Once the Teleprompter goes off, and he’s on his own, anything can happen.
    Mr. Wonderful really isn’t.

    Most people don’t know George Halas was a Muslim terrorist and a Communist. Dick Butkus hero was Nikita Khrushchev.

    God isn’t an entity you can just grab, or grab the people to put God back in a nation. America is so over with it isn’t even funny.

    Glenn Beck has turned completely into a pitchman for Mitt Romney through his negative runs against Obama. Mitt Romney has said he will keep parts of Obamacare, and Mitt Romney has said we need a President to put God back into America. First of all I know they will keep mandated health care, because it’s about power and saving the U.S economy. And, how exactly does someone bring God back to America, when it was that Jesus could only give someone the living waters if they were capable of receiving? What’s Mitt going to do, charge people with Heresy? We just really need an asteroid.

      Prey, heh heh heh…. Let’s hope this season will not see a repeat of the Yucanneers of late. :) Best thing the Glazers did was to get rid of Rah-Rah Morris.

      I was joking with my husband that the game was actually RNC vs DNC, not Bucs and Panthers. Tee hee!
