Explanation: Good for you in bringing extra information to light!
But you clearly ignored where the OP'er got this information from ... which was a sporting website which only focused on its area of expertise!
Personal Disclosure: As for Omisions ... why did you only post what was asked and not what Obama's answer were to those deep issues questions?
Oops .. never mind ... pot calling kettle black I see!

The real questions here are about Obama's vision of the future of football.

I stand by my other post..... I just wish he would've stuck to the "other issues"....
That's all.

It's football for crying outloud one of the last "real men" sports.
Obama does have better things to do and if he is so concerned with violence stop droning people.
Yeah he does have more pressing issues like running this country in to the ground.

President Obama Worried About Football Safety
Obama tells The New Republic that football fans are going to have to wrestle with the fact that the game will probably change over time to try to reduce the violence.
The president says that some of those changes might make football, in his words, "a bit less exciting" but that it will be much better for players.

Seriously, Mr President, football, really.... football.
Get your head in the game and lets "tackle" some real issues.

To those who keep defending these freedom-hating Traitor politicians, soon enough, they are going to BAN or make ILLEGAL something that YOU cherish and enjoy. Banning guns today, tomorrow it'll be something that you cherish.
Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes, in fact, [...] we do skeet shooting all the time.
So much of the challenge that we have in our politics right now is that people feel as if the game here in Washington is completely detached from their day-to-day realities.
And that's not an unjustifiable view.
I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations.
And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.
....
And if you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were ten, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family's traditions, you can see why you'd be pretty protective of that.
....
And that means that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes.
I believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual a right to bear arms. This country has a strong tradition of gun ownership that’s been handed down from generation to generation.

Then it would seem odd that the OP would be suprised to find a comment regarding lowly "sports" on ESPN?

I listed the other questions in detail on the last page...along with a link to the full interview and his answers?

And how does one "accomplished" .."questions"???
Originally posted by Indigo5
I mean..I get it..you are trying to bend the conversation to "accomplishments" so you can shout about how he hasn't accomplished anything, complete with emoticons etc. But if you have to torture the english language to drive the OP topic to where you want it...then you might be off topic.

The OP claim was that he was choosing to discuss football rather than important issues.

I showed that to be FALSE...

He didn't choose the question...he ANSWERED it

...amongst a dozen or so questions on "issues".
And I want to be very clear here that Democrats, we've got a lot of warts, and some of the bad habits here in Washington when it comes to lobbyists and money and access really goes to the political system generally. It's not unique to one party. But when it comes to certain positions on issues, when it comes to trying to do what's best for the country, when it comes to really trying to make decisions based on fact as opposed to ideology, when it comes to being willing to compromise, the Democrats, not just here in this White House, but I would say in Congress also, have shown themselves consistently to be willing to do tough things even when it's not convenient, because it's the right thing to do. And we haven't seen that same kind of attitude on the other side.
The White House is doing something with its local TV interviews that it could not easily get away with in encounters with the White House press corps, which President Obama has been studiously ignoring: choosing the topic about which President Obama and the reporter will talk.
In interviews with three local TV stations Monday, two from states critical to Obama’s reelection effort, Obama held forth on the possibility of “sequestration” if he and Congress fail to reach a budget deal, allowing him to make his favorite political point that Republicans are willing to cause grievous harm to the economy and jobs in order to protect the rich from tax increases.
The reporters were able to ask about other topics. But with their face time with the president limited to under ten minutes, and Obama well rehearsed to discuss at length his favored topic, there was little room for much else to come up.
