Obama isn’t worried about the NFL

This final note today. As negotiations between NFL team owners and the players association count down to a midnight deadline tonight, President Obama was asked at a press conference today what he thinks of the prospects of a lockout.

Not much, apparently. Said he doesn’t have much sympathy for billionaires and millionaires arguing over money, he said, and don’t look for him to get involved.
