3 members of 1972 Dolphins skip the White House visit for political reasons

Wow, after 40 years ! To snub your own teammates too ?

Putting your own interests above your team ? But after 40 years ? sicko.

Guess it's typical of the repulsican party lately. Putting their own interests above team United States.

I would have gone. 

You'd think obama would have better things to do than trying to glom the glory from the '72 Dolphins. Pretty damn pathetic.

And in no way did they snub their teammates, only the f'tard.

Too bad Obama is such a polarizing President that all members of the team can't enjoy their visit to the white house.

And I might add that if Jim Langer (who I haven't met) is anything like the rest of his family then I feel confident saying he probably has more character in his little finger than the current POTUS does as a whole. 

Yeah I agree, but the other idiots in this thread tilt, esplande, 14.. seem to maintain their juvenile opinions on the matter.

add me to the list, no way in hell i would go

Add me to the list too..

Especially after President Obama gave the one's that attended the Kiss of Death (KOD)...

"And I know that some people may be asking why we're doing this after all these years. And my answer is simple: I wanted to be the young guy up here for once." said Obama.

i have a few very religious families in my neighborhood.  their kids have baptisms and things of that nature every now and then.  i go to all of them.  i might have my phone on checking soccer scores though when they have these things in the morning.  that's allowed, right?  

i don't know that i've had more than a couple of friends get married in a church but i'm fine with that too, although those are usually longer. 

Nice try villemure but you and I both know that a possible scheduling conflict was not be context of this thread especially considering the title which states they avoided it for political reasons

They didn't have to go.  It is still a free country, it is not like they were summoned by the king. 

It is kind of petty. 

If I ever got to go to the Whitehouse again, I would put on my Gadsen Flag tie pin  and go shake hands with a man I do not respect nor like.  Not because it endorses him, but because I have respect in myself to look the man in the eyes, shake his hand, and know that I respect the office, and the oath that we both took, but not the man.

If given the opportunity, I would also ask him with all honesty and politeness, if he believes that he is doing the right things for the country, and if his office has compromised his values. I would honestly like to hear his response. 

These men are passive aggressive self-important cowards.

 

 

He was joking when he said that....

FYI.. Cigarette smoking doesn't look cool anymore. That went out 20 years ago. It looks dumb.

 

I'm sure they are all adults and capable of making up their own minds about going or not.

Only a poop face sour grape loser would call them names for making a decision not to go.

Add me to the list.
Part of the problem with Americans is that they put their elected officials on a pedestal like they are God like.
That's not what was the intent by the founding fathers.
Far as I know, Obama and the rest of them poop and wipe like the rest of us.
If I want to see the White House I can take the tour - if it's open anyways.

Party line sheep are also what's wrong with this country.

Tell that to the guy you idolize. But you're right, he's an idiot. Smoking is the least of his faults. F'ing the country is at the top of the list.

What is the point of this little get together anyway?
To reminisce about something that happened 40 years ago?
Maybe the focus should be on things that are happening in the present-
Much ado about nothing-
Who cares who did or didn't go.....

Not on this particular incident but it's one thing to dislike/disagree with the President, it's entirely different to disrespect the office of the Presidency and the behavior is often displayed by those most self-righteousness persons.
