Obviously I know that all of you have been spending most of this week rooting for our unbelievable athletes in London. (Applause.) On the flight over here, I've got to admit I was spending most of my time watching U.S. women's soccer.
One can only imagine what the Lions front office thought watching their 300 pound franchise player scrape his nose on the bottom of the pool during a practice session, but Suh was eliminated in Tuesday night's second round, knocked out by former U.S. women's soccer star Brandi Chastain, as Detroit surely exhaled.
The remarkable achievement of the U.S. women's soccer team, the amazing semifinal match that I think mentioned the other day, that, basically, all work ceased over here in the West Wing -- and that includes all offices -- for the last half hour of that game, and then yesterday's victory in the final.
