srsly?
From CBS Sports Website:
President-elect Barack Obama says he still thinks there needs to be a playoff system for determining the country's college football champion.
Obama, asked what he thought about Florida's 24-14 victory Thursday night over Oklahoma in the BCS championship game, congratulated the Gators and said he'd sent a message to a friend whose son plays for the team.
At the same time, he said, "If I'm Utah, or if I'm USC or if I'm Texas, I might still have some quibbles."
Obama said, "That's why we need a playoff."
I agree with him. The thing that kills me is that a ton of people responded to this by saying things like "Obama will make Carter look great - this guy is certainly tackling the important issues while our economy is in the crapper and we lost another 500k jobs in december.....yeah real smart obama tackling the college football BCS system and the Digital TV rollout.....why anyone voted for you is a mystery....." and "WORRY ABOUT FIXING THIS AFTER OTHER PROBLEMS - Obama needs to worry about fixing the country first. We are heading the way of the Roman Empire and becoming a third world country. We are in the toilet just waiting for a flusher. Fix the country first then worry about the playoffs."
Seriously? Is it really necessary because to blast him because he took two seconds of his time to say something that is not related to the economy or the healthcare system or the war in Iraq? He can't be a normal guy for a minute and just talk football? WTF???
