Jay Busbee, of "FROM THE MARBLES" a Yahoo sports blog , headlined his column this way...Several drivers decline invite to White House due to scheduling
Jay explained, that "The news arrived at the bottom of a press release touting NASCAR's impending audience with President Barack Obama. Within hours, the story of who wouldn't be visiting the White House far outshone the story of those who would.
Jimmie Johnson and other members of the 2010 Chase for the Cup will be visiting the White House on Wednesday afternoon. However, the release indicated that five drivers — Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart — will not be attending due to what the press release called "schedule conflicts." (Kurt Busch later indicated that he never had any intention of missing the event; it's not certain how his name ended up on the initial release.)
Naturally, since this involves the White House, the issue instantly turned political: were the drivers making a statement on Obama by not attending? What could possibly be more important than a meeting with the president? Do they have legitimate scheduling conflicts? Before any of the drivers spoke on the record about the issue, speculation ran wild among both NASCAR fandom and other drivers, and the politics threatened to drown any rational discussion of the matter.
JIMMY JOHNSON celebrity and leading NASCAR driver, turned "exorcist" social instructor wrote on TWITTER to his million of fans, who have been blindly rallying behind the TEAPARTY AND THE REPUBLICANS since we elected an American President with his color "black"... "IMO... regardless of political views, when POTUS sends an invite and wants to honor you at the White House, you accept. #respect,".
You would expect that the leader of the Republican Party, at least
, since they are a major political o00rganisation in the USA, would have submitted that direction or instruction, since January 19 2009. But it had to be a CELEBRITY, who despite earning a living from the support of NASCAR fans , decided to be the AMERICAN that our history taught us we should be.
NASCAR driver JEFF BURTON, added to the education of the masses, when he twitted :"The presidency deserves respect and we are all Americans. I will be there!"
To ensure their message of racial EXORCISM reached the brainwashed, misguided and embarrassing fans, the TWO Major NASCAR DRIVERS, IN THE NAME OF AMERICA, sought to clarify their instructions......Johnson clarified later, and Burton retweeted the comment, that his response was not aimed at his fellow drivers, but at fans critical of him accepting the invitation. The political element of this — much of NASCAR's fan base leans in the opposite direction to the current occupant of the White House — obviously runs deep enough to carve divisions between drivers and their fans.
Other drivers had to add their blessing to try and heal their wounded fans, hurt by the TEATHUGLIKANS desire to fan racial strife and bad political choices on our beloved AMERICA.
GREG BIFFLE: Am Committed to a major 3M sponsor event in Minnesota, Biffle tried to adjust his schedule but could not: "I called [3M] and talked to them about the invitation, and this was very important to them. The function is designed around me and they really can't have it if I can't go. Unfortunately, the date conflicts with the invitation." Biffle noted that there is no political component to his decision; he has a photo of himself shaking hands with President Obama hanging in his home, and he said he's "disgusted" by people who suggest that he "rejected" the invitation.
KURT BUSCH: "I will be at the White House ... Who would turn down the opportunity?" Busch indicated that he had to adjust his 2012 photo shoot to accommodate the visit, and was not certain how his name was included on the initial press release.
TONY STEWART: "We have an obligation we have to fulfill. I've enjoyed every trip I've that I've been invited ... There's a lot of people who would like the opportunity. If I could have rescheduled, I would be there in a heartbeat." He didn't specify the obligation.
"I don't think it's fair to the guys who said they could go, or the guys who said they couldn't go, to make it political," Burton said late Friday. "If the president of the United states invited NASCAR to the White House to honor NASCAR , that is an honor whether you agree with policy or not ... you can have respect for the presidency and still disagree with it. Ten years ago, after 9/11, this country was unified, this country was together. Today, we're talking why somebody is or isn't going to the White House. And we wonder why the country's in trouble. We're blaming the people in Washington. Maybe we need to look in the damn mirror."
No one is saying, you have to like PRESIDENT OBAMA because he is our President. Our constitution says you don't have to like anyone..for that matter, and you can be proud of it. But it's asinine, uneducated, backward, and uncivilized to dislike someone because of the color he or she was "assigned".
Many Americans did not dislike President GWB, because of the color of his skin, they hated the ideas in his head, and the social interests he exclusively served. Here is an example of the racial exorcism America needs.
My neighbor just recently moved into the community I live, from Philadelphia. He has a bumper sticker on the rear window of his Pickup truck, that captures , the naughty peeing on O.B.A.M.A. .But the message was ....a white boy, pissing on the word OBAMA, painted in black, with his racially inspired REBEL FLAG pasted on his cap. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A MESSAGE THERE...
The sadness about such an act is that, in an emergency, I and my family may have to jump into action to protect him...and his family...while he is sending a strong message to us....saying he does not know me...but HATES ME BECAUSE OF MY BEAUTIFUL COLOR....HIS COLOR IS ALSO BEAUTIFUL I SEE NO REASON TO HATE HIM FOR IT...SHOULD I JUDGE HIM AS INHUMANE ?? THE SAME WAY I WOULD JUDGE A SERIAL KILLER..OR A DESPOTIC DICTATOR ?? WHAT CAN I DO TO PROTECT MY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN FROM THIS OBVIOUSLY SICK AMERICAN PAST TIME.....
ARE PEOPLE LIKE THESE, SO INSENTIVE TO OTHERS,AND INSECURE ABOUT THEIR RACIAL BACKGROUND AND HISTORY THAT ATTEMPTS AT PEEING ON SOME ONE RACIALLY, MAKES THEM AROUSED?? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH THIS MENTALITY....?? Its the 21st century,we have done so much to bring them along with the human race, .ON HOW TO RESPECT AND TREAT OTHER HUMANS, yet we still have to read about public disrespect for the leader of our country ... And to think they may help decide ..."Whither America" Woww!?
