Barack Obama Follows Recruiting, Dropped a Reuben Foster Reference to Ozzie Newsome

All, College Football Ty Duffy February 6th. 2013, 10:35am

Barack Obama follows recruiting, apparently. While congratulating Alabama legend Ozzie Newsome on the Ravens’ Super Bowl win, the President referenced Reuben Foster, the Alabama commit with an Auburn tattoo.

Obama then made reference to the news that Foster, a five-star linebacker from Auburn High School, had announced his decision to commit to Alabama.
“You guys just got another draft pick down there. A guy who already tattooed Auburn on his arm and then decided to go to Alabama instead,” Obama said.
“He did the same thing I did,” Newsome responded. “I committed to Auburn and I changed my mind. It happens all the time down there. It only counts on signing day.”

For those doubting the power of sports, the candidate you would more want to have a beer and watch a game with has won every Presidential election since 1980.

So not true. Who wouldn’t have wanted to drink a beer with a Mormon?

Best part of the Foster story is that he needed a story to explain his Auburn tattoo. So he backtracked and said it was in honor of his late cousin Ladarious Phillips, who played for Auburn for a couple of years. Except, being Foster, he didn’t seem to get the name just right. A common problem with tattoos:

Agreed.

Good call.
Mr. President, please balance the fucking budget and stop worrying about kids that have a less than 50% success rate being productive members of their football team and university in general.

I was talking about the predominantly black football student-athletes not being a productive member of the university. Your words, not mine (don’t scroll up).
It was subtle, but it was there.

I was referring to this:
An analysis of Rivals.com’s top 100 players from 2006 to 2009 reveals that 42 percent of the nation’s top prospects became busts, meaning they failed to either play in 40 games, start 20 games or have one above-average season in their college careers.

This is where Republicans cry about how DARE Obama read a single article on recruiting! How dare he even RESPOND TO THE QUESTION! DOES HE NOT REALIZE THE PROBLEMS WE FACE?
Then go off and proclaim how cool their own candidates are and how their candidates are like the “average man”
Idiots.
