It’s This Bad… NFL Grumbling That Obama’s Speech May Interfere With Pre-Game Activities

The NFL is grumbling that Obama’s spending jobs speech may interfere with their planned pre-game activities.

[blockquote]NBC Television and the White House are in ongoing discussions over coverage of President Obama’s jobs speech and the NFL kick-off between the Packers and Saints.

Yesterday the White House announced that the presidential address would be over before kickoff at 7:30 next Thursday. But NBC was also planning to show extensive pre-game coverage, including some live concerts outside Lambeau Field about an hour before the game.

Many Wisconsin NBC affiliates want the network to offer feeds of both the NFL pre-game and the president’s speech, and let the local channels decide which one to carry. NBC has also sold out its pre-game sponsorships for the NFL opener — money that might be refunded to the advertisers if the broadcast plans change.

The pre-game activities might be moved to the NFL Network — with the game itself staying on NBC.[/blockquote]

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

PLUS!  He's always late.  His merry band of thugs better get him before TOTUS on time if they have to drag him there kicking and screaming.

Actually, I'm a bit tickled he's pissing off the NFL fans, NBC and the local TV stations; their turn to pull their heads out of their asses for five minutes and get a good look at the real Obama-run world.

Boehner kicking him around, NASCAR kicking him around, and now the NFL.

Dear Mr. President, pre-empt the season opener; you will obtain the attention
of hundreds of thousands of voters whom have heretofore remained apathetic or undecided in opinion of you.
