Obama caught sending payoff to Canadian politician
« on: March 19, 2010, 08:05:50 PM »
It's official... US Ambassador to Canada was seen going on a beer run to deliver 2 cases of beer to 24 Sussex Dr.  :D



 
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has finally scored his Olympic hockey beer from U.S. President Barack Obama.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson delivered on Friday morning a case of Molson Canadian to Harper at 24 Sussex Drive — making good on Obama's losing bet that the American men's hockey team would win gold at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Obama and millions of North Americans glued to televisions on Sunday, Feb. 28 found out "no they couldn't" when Sidney Crosby scored an overtime goal to give Canada a thrilling 3-2 gold-medal game victory.

Jacobson also delivered a case of Obama's favourite beer — Yuengling, a product that ostensibly comes from America's oldest brewery in Pottsville, Pa.

Harper says he will donate his winnings to the Hockey Hall of Fame, which Thursday welcomed the puck Crosby shot past American goaltender Ryan Miller to clinch Canada's record-setting 14th gold medal at the Vancouver Olympic Games.

Friday's beer run doesn't represent the first time the White House has lost an Olympic hockey bet.

On March 12, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was forced to don a Team Canada hockey jersey during a White House news briefing, making good on a bet with Harper spokesman Dimitri Souas over the Olympic hockey men's final.

The cheeky Gibbs only wore the jersey for about two minutes and drew laughter and applause from the White House press corps when he removed it to reveal a Team USA hockey jersey.



Canada won the gold... canada won the gold.

To bad no one really gives a shit.  Hockey is the 6th sport here in the USA behind badminton and Saturday night whoring.  

Too bad the Argonauts, Whom I've seen live, and have a jersey....

wouldn't come down and Play one of the High School Teams here in the USA.  

I saw them play their last home game this year.  They got beat like 50-10 by the Montreal DorkNuts.  They had to apologize to everyone at half time.

Beer was good though.  



But besides that.  Good for Canada! They appreciate it much more that we would.

I think you are saying wrong:

Canada won "a" Gold.
