Seriously, after this latest news I'm strongly considering joining the campaign staff for Huckabee/Palin or Palin/Huckabee or heck I would even be a flunky for Beck/ Bachmann. I'm just that aggravated right now with the latest and greatest. I'm not referring to health care reform or Afghanistan. I'm talking about the most important event of the year. Obama's misguided stance on the SEC Championship
cross posted at Left in Alabama and The Progressive Electorate
Apparently Barry Obama forgets that he has Bama in his name and is pulling for the Florida Gators this weekend. You cannot spell Obama without Bama and the Crimson Tide.
WWOD - What Would Obama Do? - Cheer for little Timmy Tebow apparently.
What kind of bull crap is this?
President Barack Obama is rooting for Florida to beat Alabama on Saturday, according to Gators right tackle Marcus Gilbert, whose father Jeff helped protect Obama as a U.S. Secret Service agent during his president campaign.
According to the Palm Beach Post ...
Marcus said Obama often asks his dad how Marcus and the Gators are doing.
"He's rooting for us all the way, like he did last year," Gilbert said.
The Gators visited the White House in April for a ceremony honoring them as last season's BCS national champions.
UF coach Urban Meyer joked of Obama's support: "I hope he's got some kind of pull."
Are you serious Mr. President?

But Alabama has JC herself and she showed up for Jury Duty This week in Birmingham
Jesus Christ was called for jury duty this week in Jefferson County.
Court officials were skeptical at first when on Monday a potential juror submitted a name change form with "Jesus Christ" on it. But the 59-year-old Birmingham woman, who previously went by Dorothy Lola Killingworth, assured the presiding judge that was her name.
"It raised eyebrows, so I asked her if that were truly her name," Circuit Court Judge Scott Vowell said. "She assured me that it was. She had her name changed in the Probate Court, and she presented her driver's license."
Christ was sent to Judge Clyde Jones's courtroom for a criminal case. She was excused because she was disruptive, court officials said. Instead of answering questions, she was asking them, a court employee in Jones's office said.
Efforts to reach Christ today were unsuccessful.
Court administrator Sandra Turner said she and others in the jury assembly room were somewhat shocked at first when the woman insisted Christ was her name. And when her name was called, several potential jurors laughed out loud.
Unlike some Jefferson County residents, Christ did not try to get out of jury duty, Turner said.
"She was perfectly happy to serve," said Turner.
