'Burn!' Why did Obama congratulate Michael Sam? Because he really is news in Obama's America

Ding, ding, ding!

As Twitchy reported, Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams Saturday night. The media immediately squeed and breathlessly reported on the fact that Sam is openly gay. And guess who had to throw himself into the mix. That’s right. President Obama.

Gay-lo activate!

But this Twitter user points out a devastating fact. Perhaps Obama did have good reason to call Sam. He is news under Obama’s watch.

Michael Sam is news? Well, considering the unemployment rate for young black males under @BarackObama, Sam getting a job is news.
