SHE WON'T GO!
As is customary, the President of the United States of America will welcome the NCAA National Champions — in this case, the University of Kentucky Wildcats — to the White House to honor them for their success.
Coach Cal and the Cats — MKG, Mr. Anthony Davis, Darius Miller and the whole crew — will hang out with Barry Hussein in the late afternoon.
Mitch McConnell, ever spiteful and little-in-heart, is blowing off the President and the Kentucky Wildcats.
As The Hill reports, Mitch is choosing to stay in Louisville that day in preparation for the Derby… which of course doesn’t happen ’til the next day and he could easily enough get to DC and back to the Derby City for a long night of bourbon sipping.
Some pot-smoking Bluegrass GOP operatives have strummed up a conspiracy theory that the entire event was orchestrated to make the Minority Leader look like the little man that he is… but as The Hill goes on to note:
A source close to McConnell says he is more a fan of the Louisville Cardinals, who lost to Kentucky in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament.
McConnell declined to publicly express a preference for either team, however.
Yowza.
Seems like a dumb move to us, but what the hell do we know — maybe Mitch has a hot date at Porcini’s this coming Friday.
Coach Cal, for his part, ignored McConnell’s snub, and instead focused on what was important… the kids.
Apparently the team is really excited to meet President Obama:
“The amazing thing is the first thing that was said when the horn sounded in New Orleans was, ‘We’re going to the White House!’
“It’s one of those moments for these players that they have probably thought about without us even knowing that it was important to them. So I’m excited about the opportunity for them to meet the President of the United States, the Leader of the Free World and someone who is trying to make a difference in their lives.”

Way to stay classy, Mitch!

Mitch McConnell is such an idiot. What sort of mouth breather would pass up on a chance to attach himself to something as hugely popular in the state as The Kentucky Wildcats?
The only thing I could think that would even be close is if the Governor of Kentucky refused to be seen with President Obama congratulating America’s troops in the wake of Osama Bin Laden’s death.

To Kentuckians this a bigger deal.
Which goes to show how safe McConnel feels.

personally, i think it has more to do with obama being there than uk being there, but perhaps my louisville bias is coming through. i don’t think addison would have attended had uofl won it all either. better question is why isn’t your congressman going to be there.
btw, while obvious, it still needs to be said- just because addison went to uofl and has part of the library named after him doesn’t mean the fans like him any more than the rest of the rational thinking people do. i’d throw popcorn at him if i were sitting behind him.

Kentucky fans should always look to have a Democrat in the White House. Consider:
1948 Truman
1949 Truman
1951 Truman
1958 Eisenhower
1978 Carter
1996 Clinton
1998 Clinton
2012 Obama
Only the 1958 squad won the NCAA with a Republican in the White House. That means 88% of UK’s national championship banners were hung when a Democrat was in the White House. Think about that, #BBN.
