Unbelievable-
Unbelievable-
Potential acknowledgement for Pool by a sitting President and all I hear are crickets and the sounds of hair being pulled out.
Keep doin' whatcha been doin',
and you'll all keep gettin' what you've been gettin'.
But it's nice to see "put-up or shut-up" come into play- thank you Pinklady!
There it is on the table:
Servicemen and Veterans: Will you help inform those in your sphere of influence that there even is a Mosconi Cup??
.
what better time to return after a year, than for a hand gesture by a woman!
@ OP - it's cool to see someone being proactive in marketing Mosconi in & for the US & pool, and from an OBVIOUS angle that has been overlooked.
where's that Lieutenant/Colonel that helped train our boys last year? surely he, and all the Armed Forces/Vets herein, could spread the word nationwide & fill our stands with military? those Brits would sh*t their pants if they walked into 300 obnoxious pool-playing Marines in uniform.
and the President would have to, at minimum, acknowledge The Mosconi Cup.

Excuse Me-
There's almost always been a pool table in the White House-
I do believe they have a billiard table as well.

haha, excellent reply Angel. Hope you are doing well - great initiative :thumbup:
The presidential pool table is at Camp David now. There used to be one at the White House, though. Here is an interesting read, an AzBilliards thread about presidents shooting pool, to include President Obama: White House Takes a Cue from Kansas
I will follow up your letter with one of my own, Angel, and print your invite as an attachment. I have a few media contacts, who may be able to walk my letter in and hand-deliver it to the right person, which may ensure Obama actually reads it himself.
I think it is a great idea and thinking out of the box. There are three kinds of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch what happened, and those who wonder what happened. You, Angel, are obviously somebody who makes things happen. Bravo!

The third floor at the White House is also home to the game room, where a pool table resided at least since the George HW Bush era. Today's Map Room was once home to a White House pool table; and even as early as John Quincy Adams, a pool table has inhabited today's Vermeil Room or some other corner of the mansion from time to time. The Nixon White House had a pool table, although it's not clear which room it was in.
At least through the Kennedy era, this room was a bedroom. The Game Room has its own lavatory.
According to Brunswick:
Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was a self-confessed “billiards addict.” He described the game as a “health inspiring, scientific game, lending recreation to the otherwise fatigued mind.” It is quite possible that critical issues of national interest—slavery, international relations and the civil war—were handled over the slate of a Brunswick table.
Teddy Roosevelt—our Secretary of the Navy and the hero of San Juan Hill, the President of the United States and, later, a distinguished wild game hunter—owned a Brunswick table.
There was a Brunswick table in the White House during the administrations of several recent presidents. And when President Eisenhower established Camp David, it was furnished with not one, but four Brunswick tables. Every President since Eisenhower—Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Clinton—has used those tables. A stream of notable visitors, including Winston Churchill, Nikita Krushchev, Charles de Gaulle, Anwar Sadat and King Hussein, all knew those tables. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were known to be pretty good players.

What's the intention of this thread but to invite the uS president to a tourney? Haven't the comments, plus and minus, been precisely on that exact subject?

Kudos to Angel and JAM for their efforts to promote pool.
Golf has been blessed with a lot of people like this.
But AZers have to have a little fun also.....
....I hear the Prez is a leftie...
...and if I can make a game in that spot.....can I get a Baracker?

You don't see any positives?
Really?
You can see no good side?
Is your hate of one man greater than your love for pool?
