I wonder if individuals like Tim Thomas and the other that disrespect President Obama understand the precident they are setting. The office of the President of the United States of America has always had the highest respect. It was always understood that it was a institution not a person. I know that there are those on this thread race has nothing to do with this type of behavior that President Obama has to endure but what else can it be. Tell me another president when various members of congress speak about him during interviews they refer to him as Obama not President Obama. When President Bush was in office who by the way was a unpopular president, never was refered to as just Bush. I do belive that we have open pandoras box and future Presidents will no longer receive the respect the posistion deserves. Truely a sad day......

Plain rude and what an illinformed man. No wonder he cant stand the pres he listens to a liar who wnts nothing mre than to divide this country and thats glen beck. I watched him lots becuz i like to be informed about wat othas are being told and i poked holes in many of his theories! Obama is nt a bad man he doesnt start wars for no damn reason he didnt make mutibillion dolla corporations human and then pass a law that means money equals speech. He didnt pass laws to let jobs go overseas.... Wat the hell did this president do to offend this man so damn much that his disrespectful ass cudnt honor the pres of the u.s? Imo he needs to get the eff out if he lacks such human decency and respect for this country! Dnt care for bush but id be damned if i eva disrespected our pres like that. Childish bull shit is all that was!

rob w ... using the race card huh ? Wow ! what a retard. This clown Obumma does not deserve respect for anything. Bush even less. Respect is something earned not something bestowed upon a title. If Obumma was black with white stripes covered with pink polka dots he would still be a rat underneath so save your moronic racial baiting. Hats off for this goaltender and his courage didnt belong in the same room with that socialist, self-loving, traitor anyway.

President Obama has done more in his life than a hockey player, that is most likely owned by more corporate money than Obama ever will be...Reebok is the name on the shirt Obama is being presented... That is a corporation.....

i dont ever remember a president being snubbed like this!!! and this isnt the first time!! wake up people this president is a joke and a pawn to big money and people are fighting back!!!! VERY proud of you Tim!!! You earned your spotlight with talent unlike someone else who earned it because of his half race and big money wanting him to do there bidding!!
