Mr. President - Are You Ready For Some Football?

Did anyone happen to see the live interview Matt Lauer did with President Obama during the Super Bowl pre-game show? If not, you missed out - big time. Can I just tell everyone how refreshing it is to be intrigued and proud of our President? The interview started with all the "sobering" things. That word was used quite a bit in the first few minutes of the interview. After all the business-talk they discussed Obama's BlackBerry, the Super Bowl, and the BCS Championships. Matt Lauer asked if he could see the President's BlackBerry but he said he didn't have it with him. Matt asked if it was fitted with a fingerprint sensor like Inspector Gadgetf or security reasons . Obama said it did, and it even turned into a car in case he needed a fast getaway! Wow... he can tell a joke and not mess it up. What a concept! I loved the interview and if you can find it on NBC or YouTube, go for it. It's well worth watching. As for the big game, I had fun watching it. It was played well after the Cardinals showed up in the second half. I really would have been happy for either team having won, given there are great players and coaches on both sides. But since I've always had a place in my heart for the Steelers, and I think Ben Roethlisberger is a major hottie, I'm happy the Steelers got their 6th Championship! Hopefully Ben won't go out and wreck another motorcycle after this one!

LOVED the interview. I was saying to my husband how "real" Obama is. I have never looked at a president and thought I could see myself hanging out with him before, but Obama is the shiznitt!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

i love how his comments about jessica simpson have turned into such a controversy. i guess the press had to pick on him for something. otherwise, it was a great interview.

I haven't heard anything about the controversy. Did they not listen to what came out of his mouth? He said, and I quote, "And she apparently has a weight problem." He was just reading what was printed on the stinkin' magazine! Ugh!
