Comical Moonie-owned newspaper the Washington Times (as opposed to the outright horrible Washington Post; WHY didn't they print this story?) reports:
MOSCOW -- We knew he was into basketball, but apparently President Obama keeps an eye on Washington Capitals hockey as well namely NHL MVP Alexander Ovechkin.
The Caps left wing made Mr. Obama's list of great Russian contributors to the world, along with scientists, cosmonauts and pioneers of literature such as Pushkin.
"As a resident of Washington, D.C., I continue to benefit from the contributions of Russians -- specifically, from Alexander Ovechkin. I'm very pleased to have him in Washington, D.C." Mr. Obama said, drawing a laugh from the graduating class at the New Economic School in Moscow on Tuesday.
Not only does the Pres know who Alexander Pushkin is, he knows who Alexander Ovechkin is. If he accomplishes nothing else during his administration, this will be an improvement of US America for all time.
UPDATE: Pandering to his wicked Hawaiian-Russian audience or not, HMMMMMM? Infinitely bland reporter (apparently the WaPo did cover this) and Caps fan Chuck Todd digs deeper:
Todd: You mentioned Ovechkin in there, our friend in Washington. Do you think should you have been transparent and said you've never been to a hockey game? Are you going to fix this?
Obama: The truth of the matter is is that i have watched this guy play, and he's outstanding. But you know, Chuck, I grew up in Hawaii....
Todd: Don't tell those Blackhawk fans that. You became a Bulls fan!
Obama: We have basketball [in Hawaii]. We didn't have hockey. I love watching hockey.

He forgot about Pavel Datsyuk and "the captain" Ilya Kovalchuk that ignorant socialist pig. Pavs may look like an alien instead of a rancid hobo but they both have much better teeth.
