We the people, of the Capitals Nation, demand that President Barack Obama follow through on attending a Washington Capitals hockey game after his comment to students of the New Economic School in Moscow, Russia. From the Sports Bog.
"As a resident of Washington, D.C., I continue to benefit from the contributions of Russians -- specifically, from Alexander Ovechkin. I'm very pleased to have him in Washington, D.C."
Mr. President, using a Washington-area superstar as a bargaining chip for the affection of Russian students? Blasphemy! He's never been to a game and, fortunately, NBC's Chuck Todd was there to call him out -- again.
"Todd: You mentioned Ovechkin in there, our friend in Washington. Do you think should you have been transparent and said you've never been to a hockey game? Are you going to fix this?
Obama: The truth of the matter is that I have watched this guy play, and he's outstanding. But you know, Chuck, I grew up in Hawaii....
Todd: Don't tell those Blackhawk fans that. You became a Bulls fan!
Obama: We have basketball [in Hawaii]. We didn't have hockey. I love watching hockey."
Mr. President, with all due respect, you are officially the lead trumpet in the bandwagon. Yes I know, I'm being a bit harsh, but globe-trotting around the world, name-dropping Ovie and thinking it makes you a fan is just as bad as every "Lakers" fan that has appeared in the past month.
So that's why we here at Capitals Kremlin have drafted a "Constitution" of sorts for you to follow and get on our good side.
Amendment 1: Mr. Obama must attend a Capitals and Pens game and properly show affection for his new home city.
Amendment 2: Red shall be rocked by all, including Bo the dog.
Amendment 3: Mr. Obama will re-film the "Unleash The Fury" video, replacing Tom Green's final scream with his own.
Amendment 4: At least one appearance on the dance cam -- kiss cam if the first lady is present, and it can't be some wimpy peck on the cheek.
Amendment 5: Mr. Obama will give Alex Ovechkin the "Key to the Country" in honor of his second MVP reign.
Amendment 6: Instead of the Chipotle burrito toss during commercial breaks, Mr. Obama will lead the Red Rockers in a stimulus package toss. GM cars will be given away throughout the game as well.
Amendment 7: Michelle Obama must join the Red Rockers for a night.
Amendment 8: Mr. Obama will participate in a ceremonial drop of the puck. Take that Nationals.
