Tim Thomas says he skipped White House trip because "government has grown out of control"

His option not to attend.

The best thing Tim Thomas could have done was to just accept the invitation to the White House. Respect the Office if not the occupant. That would also apply if he was invited to a Congressional event or meeting.

He could have released his manifesto and sought out a media outlet to discuss the issue, and also accept the invitation. It's one thing to oppose an official or policies, but disrespecting national institutions only tears at the fabric of our society.

Good One Poo Poo! Turn around on how you bash GW when in office? Bet you not have gone!

Hey good for him!!

A smaller government might cause the President to be a little too busy to be partying with hockey players.

<LOL>

The best thing he could have done is a body check, but then he would have been sent to jail.

President Obama showed Tim Thomas how to carry himself when in spite of being snubbed; President Obama still acknowledged the contributions that Thomas made to the team.
I love the way these right-wingers always have their unpatriotic actions backfire and come away looking like stupid idiots.

Would you have gone if invited by George W Bush? Of course not because we know you are a lying hypocrit.

How is it unpatriotic to speak your mind in a free society?

Wow, you are one sick puppy; if my opinion vexes you to the point that you would advocate abusing your child you seriously need to be locked away and heavily medicated. But you are the typical right-wing nut, so I’m not surprised.

His position is refreshing because it is not a partisan attack. He blames both political parties and he is right.

You do realize he placed the blame for our economic woes on both parties? So how does that make him a right winger? Did you ever consider he just might be an independent that can see the faults of both major parties because that is where he places the blame.

It's off the ice, Dummy.

Not required to be a "team player" on his own time.
