Accidental humor from Superbowl-losing coach


From the LA Times:

Nice call

President Obama was rooting for Pittsburgh, but that didn't stop him from making a congratulatory call to Arizona Coach Ken Whisenhunt. Obama made the call a day after the Cardinals were beaten by the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Whisenhunt said the call came after he returned to his home Monday afternoon. "He called my cellphone. I don't know how they got my number," Whisenhunt said. "I was humbled and I was stunned." (emphasis added)
I wonder if this guy had been paying attention the last eight years as the government displayed the ability to conduct illegal surveillance on everybody in the freakin' world. And they did so with the assistance of the telecom companies, that received immunity from the Congress (including Obama).

After all, when the President of the most powerful nation on Earth wants to reach out and touch somebody, ways and means are found.
