President Bush met with the Super Bowl champion from Pittsburgh steelmakers At the White House on Friday, while speaking with them, he referenced people drinking Iron City beer in the East Room. This was due to the ruckus the team was making while awaiting the president’s arrival. Voice of “Here we go Steelers, Here we go!” it resonated throughout the White House and drew quite a bit of attention.
Considering that President Bush claims to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he had to admit that the Steelers franchise was a great team with a lot of history behind it. President Bush received a Steelers jersey with the number 43 on the back, to represent his place in presidential history. He also received a football with all the team members’ signatures, to which President Bush used to throw a short pass to Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward.
After all the fun was over, Bush asked for some advice to give Vice President Dick Cheney from Steelers coach Bill Cowher on the frowning side game. President Bush gave a wonderful speech to the team about teamwork and how this team had a lot of character; that’s why the Steelers are standing in the White House on a wonderful Friday afternoon. While many people didn’t feel like the Steelers had a chance this season, they showed great perseverance and dedication to finding the formula to win.
