Ken, you are the complete opposite of a moron, and I love you. It takes real courage to post, especially when 3 or 4 people now want to burn us to a stake. So thank you. I completely agree with your comment. We really weren’t making a political statement and believe that any president – republican or democrat – who attends the Verizon Center for a hockey game will give positive exposure to the NHL and the Washington Capitals. And Ted Leonsis agrees with me. So really, that’s all I need. LET THEM HATERS HATE.

Ken you are a complete moron if you think $$ from the gate translate to $$ to Backstrom. The team is a success. The money that goes to salary is not dependant on gates. Please go into deep hibernation. And RussianMachine, reconsider this “initiative.”

People, first of all… if Bush hadn’t have gotten us into two illegal wars, we would have all the money we needed to support all government programs AND cut taxes. And feed the hungry.

And why all the hate here? It’s a very humorous campaign.. Obama’s attendance wouldn’t skew the ratio of hardcore fans to johnny-come-latelys. He’s one person.

All attention is good attention. $$ to the organization means $$ to resign Backstrom, Semin, etc… and keep them here for as long as possible.

Why do people hate the Capstronaut? He’s unique, funny, and appropriate. The astronaut is considered an American hero, and we’re representing the nation’s capital. I LOVE that this team, its building, and its fanbase has developed such personality.

No thanks. I’d rather have someone who likes hockey attend than someone who is doing it because it may increase his popularity. Let him go to basketball games and sit in the crowd. Bad enough that we’ve got one attention whore (Capstronaut) in the crowd…don’t need a second.

I am totally against this effort, sorry. Obama is a curse for the candidates and teams he backs; ask Martha Coakley, Jon Corzine and Creigh Deeds. Also, we want real fans who love the game, not people who are coming because it is trendy. And, I agree with the other post, we see him everywhere, let’s keep the games a refuge from Obama. And, if there is any lesson from the past year, he just really isn’t that good a president or really that special a person.
