Jim, we make it a point not to let our personal feelings about political figures or politics leak into the board. It's not healthy......even though some might agree, others won't.

That Sun headline was pretty clever, don't you think?

He's the President of the United States.  Deal with it until 2012 (well, really, 2016)! 

Woooo America!

Personally, being as objective as I can, I don't agree. Putting his face on the board, especially given it is a celebratory video and in context of the US just winning a big match, with no personal comment regarding his pluses or minuses, is not inherently political. He is the President and it is just him moving in a video. No big deal. It is no different than ESPN showing that President Clinton was at the match. Not a political statement either.

If it was done routinely, than I think it would be different. I think we must put things in context, then we can evaluate things.

And Paul, let's not get riled if someone doesn't like the President. It is to be expected no matter who you support or don't, that is why we don't do politics here.....my advice, just let the comments go.

It's a silly .gif of the POTUS.  Relax people.  Celebrate!

I think I actually died for a minute there.

My heart has been in my throat for 3 hours.  No goals as of half time in the 2 Group D matches.  If things remain the same, it would be U.S.-Germany and England-Ghana.

Oh i see my favorite forum person of all time Mr Obama is back on the scene. Can someone ring Fulham nick and get them to send loads of old bill to pick me up as i'm eating my breakfast. I will of course tell them to wait untill i've finished my breakfast before i open the door. Or i could just leave this thread alone.

Well it's Ghana! Clint and John in the knock out...pretty cool. I agree with the heart in the throat, stomach spleen etc.. I had a thought that if we got 4mins then we would score... and we did. We have to finish better on our chances or it is going to be a short run. Nothing like the drama of this sport....wish you the best Ichabod Magoo.

Don't worry neither England or the USA will go much further the way we are playing.

Rubbish Aussie Keeper by the way. Another mistake for the Serb goal.

Mr. Lighthouse, I thought the same. I had the evil thought "let's give'em to the Arse for 3M".....then I saw two fabulous saves earlier in the game that I missed, and felt guilty for my thoughts.  :029:
