I beg to differ with the nay sayers. having had to deal with the security of an Obama attended event, and also having worked an event of the similar, I can say that we will most likely see someone other than CSC running security, or rather, not their 4th string security teams.

Who caress if the man isn’t into hockey! neither were a lot of other fans recently! its infectious, the atmosphere, the people, everything.

instead of grumbling, lets make him a fan.

Let’s give it up. Obama just isn’t into hockey, that should be pretty clear by now. And even if he was considering attending a Caps game, the ensuing security logistical nightmare could and probably would throw a giant wet towel on the heat of enthusiasm of the Verizon Center crowd. I would prefer Obama save his meeting with the Caps until after they win the Stanley Cup. Then they can get a parade and a White House visit. I’d love to see Ovie present Obama with an Ovechkin jersey!

I was at the Georgetown/Duke basketball game he attended, I didn’t feel their was any additional hassle. Just the typical hassle that goes with several thousand bandwagon Duke fans arguing with each other who has been a die-hard fan the longest, and the slippery concourses wet with their tears after the Hoya’s gave them a schellacking.

This is friggin’ stupid. I guarantee that 3/4 of the Caps crowd doesn’t want the hassle that an Obama Visit will bring. And we don’t need him to bring attention to the team. If he comes, I’ll boo my lungs out.

I hope RMNB is planning something epic as a victory celebration if the prez does attend a game.

An interesting concept to consider – As this post mentions, the chances will go up as the Caps get deeper into the playoffs. Let’s say Barack comes out and says he’ll come if the Caps get to the Stanley Cup Finals… And then let’s say the Caps end up playing the Blackhawks in the Finals!!! Now that I would love to see. New guy in town Mr. President, originally the senator from Illinois, who will he choose? Hometown glory, or stay with his past?!

As a huge fan of both the Caps and Barack Obama, I know which one I hope!!

I say, hang it up with the BARACK THE RED campaign!!! He is not interested in hockey, even though we are the winningest team with the best shot for the championship in his town!! FORGET HIM!!!! NOBama is messing everything else in the US up, let him leave hockey alone!!
