Obama makes "Deflategate" joke in front of Patriots

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/politics/obama-patriots-deflategate-joke/index.html

Today President met with this years Super Bowl champs to congradulate them on winning the Super Bowl.  While talking to the media the President didn't hesitate to get in a little jab about the recent "Deflategate" scandal.  The President said "I usually tell a lot of jokes at these events, but with the Patriots in town I was worried that 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat."  The joke was met with mixed emotions by the team.  Coach Belichick gave the President a thumbs down and star tightend Rob Gronkoski wasn't amused by the joke either. 
This relates to government because the President filled his role as president by interacting with citizens.  
I think it's great that the President got a little jab in at the Patriots.  The Patriots have been cheating forever and this is a prime example.  They knew exactly what size the ball should be and they failed to follow the rules.  Because of their actions I think they should get all the negative publicity they can get. Therefore I applaud the President for his for his joke.
