Barack Obama Does UF’s Gator Chomp

14 Comments

President Barack Obama appealed to no fewer than two of Floridians’ biggest sensibilities on a recent stop in the Sunshine State: health care concerns and Florida football.

The Commander in Chief stopped off for a beer at Gator’s Dockside in Orlando on Saturday and performed the Gator Chomp for patrons. Obama’s wife, Michelle, also made the gesture during a campaign stop in Gainesville in October 2008.

Florida is the third swing state in the past month where Obama has appealed to fans’ love of college football. He’s already formed the “I” in a human “O-H-I-O” and saluted Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads for his oratory abilities.

As long as he avoids a faux pas along the lines of John Kerry praising Buckeye football in Michigan in 2004, Obama should keep it up.

I’d be a lot more impressed if he was in Washington D.C., working. Then, again, we may be better off if this idiot stays out of Washington.

Coming from a true Gator fan, Obama, I dislike you very much. Although I know you will never read this hopefully one of your left wing goons will. You try to invade college sports only because you know that people follow them so much. It is a disgrace to have you do the Gator Chomp. Maybe you should learn how to salute the American Flag, yeah the same one that stands for the country that gave you a job, in which I hope you get fired. But hey look on the bright side, we still have to pay you until you die. Sadly we are stuck with you still in the system. Go Republicans and Go Gators!!!!

  It’s people like you, who may not have ever attended the university, that gives it a bad name & perception.
