White House responds to "Barack the Red"

A bit more than 24 hours after Barack the Red was launched, dedicated to the mission of luring Barack Obama to a Caps game, the White House responded to the request. No, I'm not joking.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, of course, had lost an Olympic-themed bet that required him to wear a Canadian hockey jersey to his briefing on Friday, which he eventually swapped out for a USA model. Puck talk was thus in the briefing-room air, which was all the opening that some noble media soul needed. Would love to know who that soul was, incidentally.

Here's the transcript.

Read the whole thing and you might wanna chase the link to see Baghdad Bob Gibbs in a Team Canada jersey.  Or not.  Some things are just TOO much and that would be one.  Anyhoo... that said... hockey don't need The One, thank ya very much.  Stay AWAY, Mr. President.  Far, far away.  

Just sayin'.
