Reining NHL champion Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas refused to attend today's ceremony at the White House.
Thomas has issued the following statement: "I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers [ sic ] vision for the Federal government. Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL."

Note that this dude is one of only two AMERICANS on the roster.
I'm so sick and tired of the right wing and their warped view of reality. I can only hope that a 2012 re-election will snap them out of their self induced delirium.
I could only imagine that the president's race has more to do with Obama Derangement Syndrome than Democratic policies.
