I'm sure the next time he is out in the middle of nowhere in rural Michigan he will be crushed that you don't invite him in.

Lol

Some folks love flattering themselves.

The guy rolls with authors, actors, directors academics, politicians from around the world, diplomats, Nobel laureates, and probably athletes...

Doubt he has much time to sneak a few well diggers into his schedule.

Race car drivers don't have to be smart. All they need is some highly developed physical skills, quick reflexes, and a lot of stamina.

Every time I see the communist decorate a metal winner, I'm thinking, I bet they wish they could delay the ceremony until we get a real president in office, one who loves America...
I wouldn't want that sleazy b@stard near me..!!

I certainly do not agree with your childish name-calling rant, but you're entitled to your opinion (as ignorant and illiterate as it sounds to me ... what, pray tell, is a metal winner???).

Americans have the right to express themselves, and turning down an invitation to the White House is a perfectly legitimate way to demonstrate your disapproval of the present occupant of that mansion. I recall when President Reagan wanted to award the famous musical composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Sondheim politely turned it down. Sondheim despised Reagan, and even though it was a great honor, the musician did not want to accept any award or have to meet a man he so disapproved of.

This would be MY question..."why of all of the people he could invite to the WH would he pick the most trailer park,white trash of entertainment "sports" figures to invite?"

I mean really,invite Buddy Guy,invite Ed Stafford(there's an interesting SOB) or someone like that..not a pack of stooges worshipped by the lowest IQ herd in your Fiefdom..good grief.

NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."

They must be very busy people!
They've got more important things to do. I wouldn't want to go to the White House now.

I wouldn't read too much into 4 stock car drivers turning down a White House dinner invitation.

Republicans do that all the time.

Democrats did the same thing when Bush was in office.

The photo op is rather common. The sitting president has always done photo ops with NASCAR drivers. As for the drivers who skipped out, Stewart was still dealing with the Kevin Ward Jr. accident investigation. As for Biffle, Ku Busch, Edwards and Harvick, I have no idea if it was politically charged or not. This thread is about 20 pages too long
