White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs open today’s press briefing by entering the room festooned in the Canadian national hockey jersey. The reason? He lost a bet Dimitri Soudas, spokesman for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the recent Olympic gold medal match that saw the Canadian team defeat the U.S. team in overtime.

    Just goes to prove that the white house is fully supportive of socialist regimes.

    Gibbs did this to alert journalists that we will soon have the same health care rationing and lousy standards of care that our neighbors to the north already enjoy.

    Marcus.lewis just because we Canadians care about the well being of our people more than profit (and we are still a wealthy nation) does not make us a socialist regimes, it make us a democratic nation with a conscience. Felixw It just goes to show that our so called lousy standards of care that we neighbors to the north already enjoy produce better athletes than our neighbors to the south.
