The President of the United States shouldn't be spending 10 seconds on this ****. If his highly-trained staff can't come up with enough actual work to keep him busy, I could write him a list.

Of course, we've seen what happens when he actually attempts to deal with a problem, maybe they ought to delegate him to hand out "effort ribbons" at the next Hooterville High School JV softball banquet.
 
Jesus, of all the **** the guy's done, you're going after him for this?

It's a tradition. Every president does it. And since the local university had a team there, it's our sports centerpiece today.
 
Doesn't every president do this every year?

More baiting, I'm afraid. :-\

It was started by the crook Nixon, picked up by the wimp Carter, and turned into a production by the doddering old idiot Reagan.

The President of the United States has more important stuff he ought to be doing. He is our ******* employee, and he was hired to do a 24/7/365 job. Get back to ****ing work.
 
I'm afraid you're out of line on this, Starman.

The guy is a first class idiot but ceremonies like this are part of the job.

The "he's our employee" stuff is kinda lame. It makes him sound like he's the janitor of your apartment building.

On second thought, a job made for Fredo
 
Sucking the collective Johnson of the American public is part of the job.

I think they guy is the worst president since Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover wrapped into one, but I won't kill him for this. It's part of the job now.

He only works for us in a sense. As dissatisfied as most of us are with him, we can't fire him.

A couple of hundred American citizens get the chance to be commended for outstanding performance at our nation's capital and people are complaining about the President????
Get real.
Complain about his foreign policy or the economy, but don't blast him for this.

We had our chance. We blew it 2 1/2 years ago.

Well, not me. I did my part. But you know what I mean.

Now, after wasting half the afternoon on the jocks on Monday, he's got 20 minutes to waste on a baseball pitcher on Wednesday.

Doesn't the ****er ever do any WORK?

What about all the players on the teams the winners beat? Those teams TRIED HARD! They DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE PRESIDENT as well!!

Only the Rutgers women's basketball team should have that honor.
 
I won't bash Bush for this. It's something every president has done in recent memory. No beef on this at all.

Besides, isn't it nice to have something pleasant come from the White House from time to time?
 

To be fair, this isn't Starman's first time railing against this type of activity.
 
Oh my God, some of you people need a life. I mean, I know Bush bashing is a cottage industry among some of you here at SportsJournalists.com, but I think even the leader of the leftie pack, Fenian_Bastard, would agree bashing Bush for partaking in a harmless and mostly meaningless tradition that has gone on for at least three decades is silly.

Zag, this isn't Starman bashing Bush. This is Starman bashing the activity. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand it.

Oh really?
 
I have no problem with this. I think it's a good tradition. After all, it gave us Flip-Flop Gate a few years ago.

The last time they did that, he pinned the ribbons on the cafeteria staff.
