OMG... now Obama has another idea on what to do to avoid acting like the President of the United States of America.

Our ambassador was murdered last week and our consulate burned and three other Americans were murdered...

but hey... look over here... let's talk football.

Obama could care less that they died.. it is sad to call their graves..."bumps in the road."

Problem is that Obama is less competent than the replacement refs.

Does Obama even know what football is?

OMG. Fine, but only if he quits the job he is already NOT doing in D.C.

In case someone forgot to tell MSNBC, Zero is the President of the U.S., not the NFL.

So what, #4, he might as well screw up football too!

While I think the NFL is in a mess right now I also think most of us do not consider this a presidential priority.

Yeah, but if he met with one ref, he would have to meet with 10....no dice, Jay-Z awaits!

Trucker Observation: Affirmative Action didn't work in the US presidency and it isn't working in the NFL.

We have embasseys burning and under attack, American dying because of the cult of the middle east. We have nothing like a coherent foreign policy. Nothing like a conherent energy policy. Nothing like a coherent fisical policy.
The economy is in the toilet, millions of people unemployed.

These moron want "Zero" to screw up the NFL as well?

I know that it is the propaganda media but you just can't fix people this stupid.

I guarantee this will be over by eob Wednesday. Last nights ending shifted $150 million or more in bets. Danny Sheridan thinks it's closer to 1 billion. Casinos may have lost up to 15 million. Sportsbook.com refunded all Packer bets. Betting has become as important to the NFL as it is to Horse Racing. Goodell settles this or he may go for a ride in the desert.

When someone mentions 'football' around Zero, he thinks they are talking about soccer.

Might as well. He's not busy running the country.

I have every confidence he can screw that up, too. Michelle will probably want to weigh in on whether these men are eating healthy.

Nah, MSNBC will have a poll out saying that Obama is winning the armchair quarterback vote.

Seriously, the Arab world is in flames, our foreign policy is in the toilet and our economy is in a shambles, and they think Obama should be wasting his time on the football ref strike?

IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!

Sorry, #9. I did not read your post before I sent mine.

Maybe if he does that, he'll take a break from being a dictator and we'll have a chance to recover. In other words, go away!

Part of me thinks that these sports are the opiate for the masses so they won't pay attention to the economic destruction being caused by the political elites. How many of these rabid fans can tell you who won the Superbowl 6 yrs. ago, but can't tell you who their mayor is?

"It appears that the people responsible for the murder of our ambassador to Libya and several other people had ties to . . . Look! Squirrel!

Affirmtion action does not mean the best and most qualified get the job. It gives those not qualified a chance they would not have otherwise. Outcome does not matter. They do not have the pressure of performing well. Kind of like many hired for teaching and government jobs.

They've suffered enough; they don't need Obama, too.

I think this decision to move Zero's focus from national issues does not go far enough. I think Obama's real calling is to be on permanent beer summit duty at some seedy bar in Chicago. He makes poor choices for other people, but at least there he would only be making poor choices for a few drunks that have already decided that poor choices are satisfactory ones.

NO, the refs are doing exactly what O would do...total incompetence. Bringing in the incompetent to manage the incompetent is a sure loser of an idea, thanks MSNBC for your brilliant suggestion! /S

Gimme a break. Tell me less than 90% of reg refs call that no TD. Bang Bang looks like a tie. So no problem with call. All TDs are reviewed and a reg. NFL official (not part of officiating crews but a rules expert)is looking at review, and he concurred. So really I dont see the uproar. If it was so obvious why wasnt it overruled on review? FTR, I agree we need reg. refs back but honsetly, these constant attacks by media and announcers is what is detracting from game more than bad calls (which happen all the time with reg. refs too...or have you forgotten).

This is how idiots on left think. Whats next? Lets take it to Supreme court?

The NFL is not the responsibility of the President of the U.S.

Condi Rice might be a better person to get involved.

On a positive note, O's meddling in football might tick off any remaining Dem sports fans so that they switch parties before Nov. 6.

But like Limbaugh said yesterday, this is giving everyone a chance to ref an NFL game, true affirmative action is great, unless it's your ox being gored.

0 would be more interested in determining wins/losses based on Executive Order, and his keen sense of fairness and need. The teams with more wins would need to hand them over, so 0 could spread them around to the %47 teams that have fewer, but deserve more. Also, equity would be taken from team owners and other investors, and given to the unions All management decisions will be made by the administration and union leaders. All financial losses will be covered by the taxpayers.

It's a shame that so many Americans care more about the lack of competence in NFL referees than they do about the lack of competence in our President.

So part-time employees are striking to get a guaranteed pension? Sounds like Obama's type of issue. Surprised that so many on this site want the NFL to cave, however.

Whatever is a league to do? Billions of dollars and they just can't handle their own hiring?

Must everyone ask the Gods in the WH how to breathe? The school kids already are told what they can eat.

Just give him a whistle and a striped shirt. He`ll be happy with that....

The NFL today essentially said that the right call was made by the officials in the Green Bay Seattle football game last night, in that the final pass in their eyes ended in a touchdown. If the NFL admitted that the wrong call was made, as everyone who watched on TV knows, they would just be making themselves look bad.

It's worked so well for him in the Middle East.

Yes, but 90% of decent officials would have called interference on the incredibly obvious shove-down of the defender by the receiver prior to the reception.

We are being ruled by nitwits.

It's too bad we cant get all worked over the condition and direction of the country as we do over some stupid meaningless football game.
