Team USA -- Please Hold for Obama

Politics aside, that's pretty cool, sounds like the team got pretty pumped to get the call.

First!!!!!!!! Great call president Obama, way to go Team USA!!!

USA got lucky, Algeria was dominating the whole game... and don't know why Obama even calls them if he doesn't even care about the World Cup or the USA Football Team..

I am so happy that there is nothing pressing going on in the US so the White House can watch the game. Nope, can't think of anything the government should have been doing. Plenty of leisure time on our dime.

USA got lucky? Algeria dominated? USA got a goal taken away and clearly dominated possession, shots and the tempo.

That aside, good call on Obama. Glad he's not taking more time off to take a trip to SA right now though!

I think it is exciting they won, considering Americans r't into soccer generally, but...I hope England wins!

@ 4

You had to bitch about it didn't you. Good for them, agree let's put politics aside for once.

I can't believe he didn't call john isner at wimbledon..that was an 11 hour tennis match! he is also an american

thank you zippy! how true!!!

@3, you were either watching a different game or know absolutely nothing about soccer. If you say they were lucky, well that means the US is now equal footing after that wretched call vs. Slovenia.

USA didn't exactly play great, they drew two and won one, and were the top over all due to goals scored. There are other countries who won all group games. Calm down USA, you'll be out soon. :)

Let's see.

We're in the midst of THE WORST WORLD WIDE PROBLEMS KNOWN TO MAN - and The White House staff is watching TV????

Oh please.

Can we throw this rooster-struttin chicken-headed know-nuthin arrogant fool out yet??

Congrats to team USA.

LMAO @ Zippy.. really? OH man I remember the good old days when most of us called Bush "King" George... now talk about someone wanting to be a dictator! I guess amnesia runs rampant in some circles!!

As for Daryl and Adrian it's called support, it's your president calling to say congrats and giving words of encouragement. It has nothing to do with what is going on in this country.. I suppose he could be like some past presidents and choose NOW to go on vacation but no he's working.. God forbid he make a damn phone call to our countries team to support them during these international names ... cripes what a bunch of petty twerps you two are.

Obama = media whore
