Obama's Eagles Shout-Out

Does Obama really think Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, hired convicted felon Mike Vick because of a commitment to social justice?

Could Obama really think that Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, hired convicted felon Mike Vick because of his commitment to social justice?

Could the President really be that childishly naive?

If not, then why call Lurie and massage his ego on a matter of little consequence for the head of state?

It is worth noting that given his record of political giving it certainly appears that Lurie is a Democrat who was late to the Obama bandwagon.

He gave the Obama Victory Fund $4,600 in October 2008; but long before, he was a Hillary man, giving Friends of Hillary $2,000 in August 2006 and $2,300 to her campaign in September 2007.

And he has a lot to give, as the owner of a billion dollar franchise.

A committed high-profile and rich Democrat in a key swing state, who might need some shoring up given his past support for Hillary.

Sounds like just the person to flatter with an impromptu friendly call from the leader of the free world.
