Just when you thought President Obama couldn’t get any worse, he outdoes himself. First, he took to Twitter to weigh in personally, and ego stroke, on the NFL refs fiasco. Priorities! Next, he stopped in his tracks to actually answer a question from the press … when someone yelled out “Packers.” See, that is important.
Huffington Post’s Jennifer Bendery gave the scoop on Twitter.
Obama actually stopped walking into the WH and came back to press after question shouted about NFL mess. "Terrible," he said.

So basically, next time you want the president to stop what he's doing and talk to you, just shout "Packers!"

I shouted "Annandale Atoms!" Got nada. MT @igorbobic: If I was WH reporter I'd yell random football team name at Obama at every rope line.

SQUIRREL!
He didn’t just stop; he answered. In a self-stroking way, natch.
Obama to pool re Packers: ""Terrible. I've been saying for months, we've gotta get our refs back." #vandeheipander

Terrible! This is terrible enough to warrant a response from President Obama. Everything else like, say, the murder of an ambassador? Just a bump in the road. Not important enough for the press or President Obama to bother with. But, NFL? Swoon!
Twitter users are rightfully disgusted.

Remember when a US Ambassador was killed and Obama didn't stop in his tracks to answer a question from the press? Yeah. #tcot

Precisely.
Disgraceful.
