Obama at McDonough. Yes, we promise that's him.
As you all know by now President Barack Obama was on campus today to discuss "Energy Security." But he addressed the real important issues of the day in his opening remarks. Here are a few highlights:
"I want to start with a difficult subject," Obama said as he looked toward JT3. "The Hoyas had a tough loss, Coach. "I love Coach Thompson. I love his dad and the great tradition that they've had," Obama continued. "And it turned out VCU was pretty good. I had Georgetown winning that game in my bracket, so we're all hurting here. That's what next year is for."
Obama is now talking about the boring Energy stuff, so while he wraps up feel free to check out some casual documentation from our friends at the Georgetown Voice here.
Bonus Obama Pic after The Jump:
Documented.

Obama botched a line in his speech that made it sound like he was throwing Georgetown under the bus
“And you also happen to go to a school [in a town] that for a long time has suffered from a chronic unwillingness to come together and make tough choices. And so I forgive you for thinking that maybe there isn’t much we can do to rise to this challenge.”
He didn’t say the ‘in a town’ part.
Casually.
Great response!
But I’m not a dem either. Nor am I a republican. I have no religion…except GU Hoops!
I marched on Leavey to keep the Pub open in the 90's.

I think it's an actual law of the internet
That there has to be an Obama-slam on every message board thread.

Politics aside
I think the fact that Obama shows interest in Georgetown Basketball is probably a little bit of a recruiting tool because it fits our character. We already sell ourselves on prestige and academics… now the President comes to games, talks about Georgetown Hoops… A lot of people in the African American community look up to President Obama. YES WE CAN HOYA SAXA.
