Thomas Disses Obama
“Hey Tomas.Er.Um…hey, how’s Montreal?”
Tim Thomas decided to play a little GOP hooky and interject politics into an apolitical event when he refused to join his fellow Stanley Cup-winning teammates at the White House for the traditional, post-title meeting with the leader of the free world.
Per Puck Daddy, the Bruins will “address” the issue with the right-leaning goalie who has frequently expressed his fondness for the odious Glenn Beck, thereby proving in fact he is not perfect. But Chiarelli said that Thomas opted to not attend and will explain why later on his Facebook page (gee, I wonder what it might be…).
Thomas isn’t the first athlete to eschew meeting the POTUS because of political differences and surely won’t be the last. Yeah sure, it’s his right and blah, blah, blah. But c’mon man, will it really fucking kill you to listen to Obama pretend he knows about hockey for 10 minutes while presenting him with a jersey? Opting out isn’t going turn around the economy or lower your taxes—it just makes you look like a sore sport.
Regardless of one’s politics, it’s still an honor to be invited to the White House for an event, especially when you are one of the people that is going to be recognized by the President (for the record, I’m an I and didn’t vote for Barry). But Thomas, who may be the yin to Michael Moore’s yang, decided he was all set. Too bad. Because it reeks of pettiness and casts a minor but dopey shadow on what should otherwise be a blemish-free day.

Completely agree, RA. Pretty lame of him. Whatever though. lol at Kaberle.
its an honor to be invited to the white house, yes. but, isnt it more of a story, and, more of a power move, to turn down an invite to the white house? play on playa.
What a fucking tool. When you’re invited to the White House by the President of the United States…you go.
He was just using seguins alarm clock
Most thought out post on BSS in 3 years.
jhop16, If I was invited to the White House, I would shoot Obama in the face twice.
Politics aside, its a d-bag move. Thomas must be reading his own press clippings
itd be sick to just be in the white house. Lame shit by thomas whose the only fuckin american on the team.
he should of went>dont the teams usually visit the wounded soldiers after.the only reason to go even if u dont like his politics.
Yes, it is an honor to be invited to the White House no matter who is President.
It is possible that Thomas didn’t want to be part of the propaganda that the regime will use to keep Barry in power.
who cares………..
mad bro, Kampfer
Thomas can go next year when hopefully this fucken bonehead is out of office.
this guys an elected leader not a dictator, and if thomas doesnt want to hear a bunch of windbags spew bullshit for a couple hours then he shouldnt have to, play on playa indeed
Yeah, total wrong move. The absence of presence doesn’t prove a point. It only shows weakness when you avoid meeting someone you disagree with. It’s not a balla move, its a bitchass move. I though hockey was for tough guys?
Barry 1, Tim Thomas 0.
Oh man ur so kewl lax4life!!!
Obama wears a Subban shirt to play street hockey
Still no recap on the 1st place Rangers taking out the B’s over the weekend? Seriously?
lax4life you are a dumb motherfucker. You are absolutely getting a visit from the Secret Service.
kampfer doesnt count. the dude doesnt play
Cum everywhere! I wouldn’t meet that prick either. Absolutely agree that when the B’s win the cup again, Thomas can meet a real President next year. I love the move, Tim Thomas is a stud.
Embarrassing for the Bruins and shameful of Thomas.
Love the move by Timmy. He realizes he’ll be back there again next year after they win again this year and he’ll get to meet a president who’s not a total douchebag socialist
How am I a dumb motherfucker? You’re the dumb motherfucker for thinking he’s a half decent president, and doesn’t deserve to die.
Politics aside I’m pretty sure that the POTUS has a lot more to be concerned with than Tim Thomas showing up for a backslap and a hi how are ya? Haters gonna hate….
douchebag move. Political stances aside, when you get invited to the fucking white house you go. Listening to Glenn Beck already automatically means you’re fucking insane anyway. He was too over the top for Fox news, what does that tell you??
PS- lax4life, I’m sure you would u fucking assclown. Hope secret service anally rapes you.
It’s official…. Timmy is loser, OFF ice.
*tied for first place Rangers
It is an honor to be invited to the White House but that doesn’t change the fact that Obama’s an empty suit, at best.
Lax4Life, enjoy meeting the Secret Service, I’ve heard they’re major hardos.
totally pathetic move. No matter your politics. Also it’s a team thing, not everyone agrees with everything that happens on a team, but you do it for your teammates. very uncouth
Gangstah move by double T. I wouldn’t want to sit there and listen to Obama talk about the original 8 and how he played a little stick in Hawaii.
Y’all are gonna be pissed then when Obama wins again. 4 more years. Your only chance is Romney, and that guy’s too liberal for your tastes.
Anyone hear Obama say to Marchand “how’d u get that nickname?”
Pres must’ve been cumming all over his keyboard
Tim Thomas is a fucking asshole. Complete dick, and the Bruins should have fuckin’ nipped this in the bud. He made the whole team and organization look ridiculous.
I’m saying this and I have never voted for a Democratic candidate in any election, for any office.
Wow, Lax4Life, you’re really a dumb motherfucker. Have fun during your “interview.”
lax4life, in case you’re a little slow on the pick up, making public threats against the President is a felony.
Thomas is the man, but this is an idiot move. You respect the office if not the man, and this was official team business with the President acting in an official capacity. In other words, he was representing the people of the United States as our President. Sure, if Barry Obama invites you to dinner, you may respectfully decline. If the President of the United States invites you to the White House, you respectfully accept. Pussy move for Thomas, especially as the American on the team.
Everyone has listened to Obama pretend to know what he’s talking about for the past 3 years. Why sit through him bullshitting his way through a hockey talk? Romney isn’t just the only chance for the GOP, he’s the only chance for America because he is close enough to the middle to accomplish something. Obama is way too far left to ever do anything good for the country.
Fuck Obama & you liberal Boston Bitches.
Kudos to Timmy! Obama is a piece of shit. I’d skip it too if I was on the team.
I retract my threat to the President of the United States, Barack Obama!
Yikes, lax4life. Last thing portnoy needs is a subpoena in the runup to the super bowl.
Hey Lax, making a threat on the internet is a Federal Crime. Have fun in prison.
lax4life the Secret Service do not fuck around with stuff like this. They are going to confiscate your computer, go through all your personal information and generally crawl up inside your asshole. It is a felony to threaten the President of the United States and you did it not once but twice on this thread.
If I was you, I would be begging ElPres to delete your comments on this page.
Usually your blogs are my favorite, but this one makes you saound like a fucking retard. Stick to hockey, no one wants to hear your liberal bias. I for one have more respect that Timmy has the guts to stand up for what he believes in and not just bow down to the fraud currently in office.

O/U on how many emails this lax moron has sent to Dave asking to remove his comments? Like the others said, that is a felony and the SS does not take to kindly to those types of things…I would not want to be you right now ha-ha.
I fucking hate these pussy ass liberals in this state. We are an embarrasment to the rest of the country, electing people like Barney Frank every term.
Lax4life is going to get the full body cavity search from the Secret Service agent with the Gronkowski hands.
In regards to this story, Tim Thomas is a piece of shit! If this is politically motivated, this is a perfect example of how ignorant and disrespectful our society is now. 30 years ago NOBODY pulled this kind of selfish “HEY LOOK AT ME” crap. Love him or hate him, he’s your President, show some class.
bojangles, waaaaaahhhhh
Its the President not Hitler, what a dick head. ass hole move by thomas
Lesson for all you youngins out there…NEVER utter anything like what Lax stated above. Every type of communication is watched like a hawk by systems designated to search for specific keywords (Lax used a few).
Olympic, you’re kidding with calling Obama a liberal right?? The guy caves to conservative but jobs more than any democratic president I can think of. Nothing more annoying than people who run their mouths and complain while knowing absolutely nothing about politics
Nut*
ElPres please blog about your visit from the Secret Service due to exLax’s stupid comments. Especially the part when you soil yourself when they walk in the door.
EXlax, enjoy federal pound you in the ass prison…..
Lax4like, you’re a dumb motherfucker because you think it’s completely natural to want to kill a person you disagree with politically. Killing him would prove nothing, having an argument with him might not. You’ll grow out of your angst ridden teenage years someday tho.
Lax, you dumb fuck…you are definitely getting a call soon, enjoy it you stupid motherfucker
Lax4life = poor fella about to learn a tough lesson.
Bo Stoneman, you’re the dumb motherfucker. Maybe we should have just had an argument with the British…or the Nazis…or the Japanese…or Bin Laden.
Fucking pussy…trophies for everybody so nobody’s feelings get hurt!
My point – violence has a much more significant impact than words.
Oh man, saw this post had like 50 comments figured someone said something dumb. Got to Lax’s comment and was like, UH OH, you ain’t supposed to say things like that in a public forum! some one just landed himself on the wrong side of “freedom of speech”
Nothing like working your whole life to play a sport in the USA, get 5 mill+ a year, then refusing to meet the President for ten minutes. Maybe Thomas can negotiate a KHL contract so he can play in a more democratic country like Russia and travel on planes made of wood, what a joke. Shake hands, take a picture, get a free meal, leave.
Actually read every comment on this post, can not stop laughing.
Exactly fudgie.
hahaha can’t wait to see what “Lax4Life” thinks about civil liberties in a matter of weeks. Kid will be an ACLU-loving lefty in no time. About to learn a nice little civics lesson.
Looks like Thomas will be skipping again next year after they repeat. If he really has “frequently expressed his fondness for the odious Glenn Beck”, then I’m not sure Romney will be his favorite either.
And yea enjoy Big Bob’s Fat Dick in Guantanamo lax4life0607.
So we should follow and do everything society/gov’t says we should? Wow, China much? What a bunch of fucking robots you are. The same system that provides you with the courage to lambaste (look it up, fucking morons) Thomas, allows him to dissent.
Got no problem with Thomas wanting to make a stand, not wanting to go to the house of an incompetent President. I personally would have gone, to be polite, and kept my mouth shut, as much as I can’t stand this President. Non issue. No political debate sought. My opinion of this President is my opinion of this President and it’snot changing. November can not come fast enough.
danimal, obama wont be in office then
MA2MT…the system has never given me the courage to lambaste…is there some sort of gov. office you co to to get that courage. is it like that clock-heart thing they gave the cowardly lion
Wrong MA2MT. Big difference comparing what you did. I didn’t agree with the Iraq war, but you didn’t see me going up to Soldiers and telling them how stupid they were for fighting in it. I’ve got class, and I realize they were just doing their jobs (same can be said for Obama, he was in fact ELECTED to be our POTUS). The point is, TT disrespected HIS president…and that to me is not cool. No matter what side of the fence you’re on, whomever holds that office is in a position to be respected.
fng – you so funny…me want to sucky sucky you dicky
Freedom of speech, retard. Lambaste without consequence.
playonplaya…hence the reason that I said Romney will not be his favorite either, alluding to the fact that Romney would be president and Thomas would not like him either since he is not real conservative. You know, that part of my comment.
So many internet tough guys in this thread. Lax4life, have fun in Guantanamo.
Why wouldn’t Thomas just go and then ignore Obama like a 7th grade girl. I feel like tht would do more
Wait was Thomas ordered to attend? He’s an adult right? Obama is a public servant not god…bottomline who gives a fuck?
No one HAS TO respect anyone. That’s ridiculous. Maybe Martin Luther King, Jr should have “respected” the laws that were in place. Maybe Rosa Parks should have “respected” the fact that she was in the “wrong” seat. Where would we be?
We are nothing and we are nobodies if we don’t stand up for what we believe in, even if others disagree with our actions.
Willing to bet a bunch of nancy libs skipped visits during W’s 8 years and nobody cared and they were probably applauded for it…same rules apply if its a white texas republican or a black illinois dem…liberals need to thicken their skin
Yeah, nothing makes a dramatic statement to Obama more than skipping a ten minute ceremonial event (that even women’s college basketball teams get) where the POTUS reads a speech written by a guy who looked up stats on wikipedia and then poses for a picture. I’m sure the Pres will live.
lax4lyfe is beyond retarded for reasons stated above, and anybody who thinks Obama is ‘too far left’ doesn’t know jack shit about anything that’s happened in the past 3 years. That aside, Tim Thomas comes off as a completely immature asshole in this whole scenario, the type of behavior that the politicians we all love to hate in Congress are guilty of these past few years. Honestly I understand this is a free country and he has a choice as to whether or not to attend, but we’re talking about flat avoiding those who disagree with you. As an independent I can attest that the conservatives posting on here are doing a much better job showing how dumb they are than the liberals, but you’re both still pretty good at it.
Glenn Beck?! Any respect I used to have for Thomas just flew out the fucking window
MA2MT – Nobody HAS to respect anybody, but if you don’t want to HONOR the system through which our president gets elected then move the fuck out of the country and stop acting like a spoiled bitch when the tides don’t go your way.
Why are republicans such fucking babies? Literally the party of crybabies, they complain and whine about everything. The most dickless group of people on the planet. Seriously, man up.
lax4life- hahahahahaaaa. laughing at your name rather than your comments. Typical fucking lacrosse douche probably wearing a lacoste shirt.
So much going on in this comment section…First off, I agree with what MA2MT said (assuming he’s a masshole who now lives in Montana) even if he says it in a ridiculous way. Second, this comment section is an interesting look at the limits of free-speech. Tim Thomas has absolutely every right to snub his nose at the president (it’s why we don’t have a king or an absolute dictator) and the rest of you right-wingers can say “fuck obama” if you want to, it’s the beauty of “freedom of speech”…but it’s interesting, to me at least, that Lax4Life stepped over that proverbial “line in the sand”. You could write a fucking paper about this comment section. It’s the old “your right to swing your fist, ends at my face” situation. Everyone can say whatever the fuck they want but, you can’t yell FIRE! in a movie theater, you can’t say BOMB! on a plane, and you certainly can’t say what Lax said.
Be bewy bewy quiet – they will come and get you for posting truth.
^^ says guy from the future!

————————————————-
Arguing with one man over his political views is alot different than fending off countries and terrorists that are trying to harm you. Way to draw a comparison between two things that have zero in common you fucking clown. Bo is right, you dont make death threats to someone you disagree with, but you CAN debate him on his views.
I’d take a concussed retarded crackhead Glenn Beck over Barney Fag 100 times out of 100. Glenn Beck never crashed the economy. As for timmy, eh, kinda lame, but I don’t really care.
Hey dickbags, leave the politics off this site.
@28ontheway.. You clearly have no clue about politics if you think this guy is “caving” to conservatives. The conservatives in the house have attempted to pass 700 yes count them 700 different types of jobs bills only to have them shut down by democrats with the promise from obama that he would veto them if his party didn’t shut it down.
Economic development: 64 bills
Economic performance and conditions: 55 bills
Employee hiring: 24 bills
Employment and training programs: 172 bills
Labor and employment: 151 bills
Unemployment: 107 bills
Wages and earnings: 143 bills
You are obviously the one with no knowledge of politics and are just some hippie liberal freak who probably stood out their and destroyed part of mahnhattens economy during OWS.

[...] you that a certain fool who goes by the name of Tim Thomas, a.k.a. Boston Bruins hockey goalie, one of only two American players on the Bruins, decided to give President Obama a FU today by turning down his invitation to the White House where [...]
I’m not going to get into a fucking 6 paragraph political debate on why you still don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. Obama has been caving to republicans long before the debt ceiling debate, extending the bush tax cuts, and guantanamo being still being open (where Laxbro is going) That’s just 3 on a list of many. Oh, and if you must know fuck face, I got a job in my major 5 days after graduating from a top 3 SUNY school. now Shut the fuck up and enough with your political nonsense on barstool SPORTS. go listen to a glenn beck podcast and fall asleep.
Nobody argue with 28ontheway he has a job. Is that really your arguement? That you studied for something and then got a job in it which makes you smarter than other people? You sure are one pathetic individual.
Nobody cared when these liberal pricks refused to go to the white house during the Bush and Reagan administration, but if you disrespect The great Barack then you are unpatriotic.
Responding with my job was in response to your extremely well thought out OWS comment. Ur so fucking stupid you don’t even remember your previous insults
