WASHINGTON – Almost two weeks since Canada beat the U.S.A. for men's hockey gold at the Vancouver Olympics, Canada owned the podium again on Friday – this time at the White House.

Robert Gibbs, the press secretary to President Barack Obama, made good on a bet by sporting a red and white Team Canada jersey at the start of his daily briefing with the White House press corps.

"I am a little warm," joked Gibbs, who lost a pair of friendly wagers with Dimitri Soudas, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's spokesman, on the Olympic hockey finals.

Gibbs initially pledged to wear a Canadian jersey to an off-camera briefing after picking the U.S. women's team to win gold, then went double or nothing with Soudas on the men's final – and lost again.

3. Yup, he's a good sport.

People had fun with the bets.

4. Yeah, but then he took it off and had a USA jersey underneath.. you know

the big chuckle all those prissy press people had.. Ha, ha... I know people have to have fun at work.. but when Rome is burning and the people in charge aren't providing water buckets to put out the flames, it seems absurd that this is the only "promise" the admin. can actually make. Campaign on a Public Option and then throw the whole thing overboard because you are owned by the ins cartels. Campaign against Wallstreet for Mainstreet.. yet hire the assholes who should be in jail; not in pics all over the web pages at whitehouse.gov. Campaign for better education; yet hire a NCLB charter pusher over actual teachers who actually have a clue about teaching. Campaign against the wars; yet push for the biggest Defense Spending bill since the 2 war Bus(h)itler started.

Anyway, these little stunts are the things that make me feel more negative towards the D.C. crowd. Out of touch, in the bubble, and clueless.

They'll spooge themselves with glee, claiming this indicates anti-Americanism on the part of the Obama administration.
