    3. Jeff! why are you kissing up to him. there is no way he and the dem congress can do what they have promised. All they are doing is setting up for Inflation like we have never seen in America.

    6. Jeff, I’m your biggest fan….why would you think this new president can do ANYTHING he’s promised??? Good thing I’m the type of person that will keep my respect for you on the racetrack separate from my lack of respect for you politically. I should have known your political ideals when I saw you sitting with Tom Cruise at the Sprint Cup Banquet….

    7. Jeff,

    Why don’t you follow the fans that have made you rich and lean the conservative way. The Democratic Puppet Obama is going to do nothing but ruin America and lead us towards socialism. Just ask Britain!!!

    8. People settle down.We as a country gave this man his job let’s just see if he can with our help heal our country.
    P.S.
    I did not vte for Obama but we must support him and give him at least a chance.

    9. I agree with Bruce. Give this man a chance and show his inteligence. You have to start with the foundation before your have a building. We all have to work together and help one another before we judge this president as a failure. We know how the races start and in the end the leader is the victor.

    10. Bruce is right, it’s time we work together. I watched the Republicans self-destruct, they spent too much time being negative. Our time would have been better spent producing and promoting suggestions and programs to help the country recover from the current crisis. In spite of the current situation, we are acting closed minded and stubborn. We are leaving a terrible legacy for future generations. Is that really what we want to do?

    11. Jeffie, Jeffie, Jeffie … Never put ALL YOUR TRUST in one person. How many people do you count on for a successful pit stop? Certainly not only one person — takes a team. Mr. Obama cannot do anything alone — and don’t forget the 56 million who voted for John McCain …

    13. Jeff,
    Start sending in a lot of your money to Obama, because in the world he is trying to create, you can not make more than the salary of the US President per year. That is $400,000/yr. Share the wealth socialist boy!

    15. I can’t beleive some of you people. You call yourselvs Americans? You don’t have to like the man but at least give him a chance and some support. I didn’t want him for the office but we could do worse. Look at what we had for eight years. Remember this is the land of the free, you can leave it anytime if you don’t like it. Do you think you can find a better place to live? Where?

    16. Obama has been in office 15 days and so far he has given additional rights to terrorists, increased funding for abortions world wide, he has 2 tax evaders in the cabinet with one more to be affirmed, he said he would not have any lobbyists on staff and so far has 3 with one more to be affirmed. What makes you think he cares about children when he enhances KILLING them!!! You need to get off the KOOK AID however I doubt you will because you liberals will never understand!!!

    19. What a kiss-up our Jeff turned out to be. Bush may have screwed up but there are those of us who do not have a job and do you honestly think this president is going to make things better? I think McCain would have done better disbursing the monies and we would not be going down the tubes at this rate.

  19. Greg on Tue, 3rd Feb 2009 4:40 pm

    20. I do believe in giving him a chance. Even though I didn’t vote for him. Is it bad luck that his appointees are criminals, or has he known this all along. As for the Bush bashers, what was the party that had the majority when he was in office most of the time? The budget? What do you think? The wars were free? Come on, this is where a lot of the debt came from. And I am still wondering WHY he has not produced his birth certificate? DOES HE HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE? Why did his grandmother say he was born in Kenya and she was there at his birth? Makes you wonder doesn’t it? Should he even be OUR President?

    23. DON’T ASK RACE DRIVERS ABOUT POLITICS AND DON’T ASK THEM BIG DUMMIES ABOUT RACING. NASCAR HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS ,LET ALONE GET THE GOVERMENT INVOLVED. JEFF IS THE BEST AND SMARTIEST DRIVER ON ALL THE TRACKS TODAY. GIVE HIM THE CAR AND HE WILL WIN EVEN IF THE PIT CREW MAKES A FEW MISTAKES. SOME DRIVERS CAN’T AVOID TROUBLE . I’VE WATCHED AND BEEN INVOLED IN RACING FOR 55 YEARS. I GO BACK WHEN THERE WAS REAL EXCITMENT GOING TO THE TRACK FROM START TO FINISH, NOT JUST LEFT TURN,LEFT TURN, AND 400 RULES HOW TO DO THAT ,AND THROWING A COKE IN THE AIR. H.K.

I DIDN’T VOTE FOR THIS MAN, BUT WE WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL, THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE IS UP. TRY TO SUPPORT HIM. IF IT DOESN’T WORK, VOTE HIM OUT, THATS HOW HE GOT IN OFFICE. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

    39. I dont think Jeff is ‘kissing up’ or trying to be ‘political.’ It just sounds like Jeff is trying to get a point across to Obama about what our chidren need. He did it in the polite, busines-man yet good ole boy way. Nascar drivers are famous for helping children’s organizations. Heck Obama may never even see this clip. BUT if this helps our very sick children in anyway, just a tiny amount thats all that matters. Give em heck 24.

    40. Jeff, I’m a senior and it’s getting very scary about the health care that President Obama is trying to get pased. After listening to him and others how coy they are in telling us about it. What they are not saying in very carefull words is we won’t have a choice in Dr’s and care. If this health care gets passed
    and I get sick it will be up to the government is I can be helped, when I can be helped and who I can see! Meanwhile, as I wait for them to reply, me health goes down the tubs and we all know the outcome of that. Wake up people and Jeff get some answers before you AGREE! THIS IS NOT A GOOD HEALTH CARE PLAN. EXCEPT FOR THE POLITICAL WHO CARES AND AS YOU SAID IN YOUR SPEACH “YOU HAVE HEALTH CARE,” WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL OF US.

    42. Jeff you are such a wuss. Why dont you give Obama a kiss! He has done nothing but screw up an already screwed up economy. I would never say that a child should go without medical care, but my girlfriend and I pay $600 a month for health insurance for our children. Illegal aliens and people on welfare get better coverage than we get and Obama’s healthcare plan is going to mess things up worse. Especially for the elderly.

    44. I definately agree with you. NASCAR is the one thing we can look forward to and find a little escape. I wish Jeff had not taken this political stand, and I agree it should be left up to the celebrities, since they can’t seem to keep their mouths shut.

    45. NASCAR “IS” political I hate to bust your bubble. Can anyone dispute NASCAR’s rule? NO!!!
    Just like the government we vote, we protest, but the main stream media turns a deaf ear to only their liberal agenda. Spewing praise for Obama like it was the 2nd Coming of Jesus. There’s nothing wrong with America that Obama can’t make worse!!!! Another bumper sticker said it well, “9/11/01 & 11/24/08 Al Qaeda’s 2 most favorite days”. People that can’t see what’s happening have been drinking the “Kool Aid” of a new age Jim Jones. Obama will look you in the eye like a silver tongued carpetbagger selling you the elixir of life swearing it is the cure. Just like Clinton said “I did not have sex with that woman.” HA HA HA…What is, is? You say give him a chance, well we have no choice. “I WON” as he stated. Big government, tax and spend. Obama still whines about what he inherited. Shut up you wanted the job so bad. Now he has it, and what happens? The Dem’s are spending money that our grand kids can’t repay if it don’t stop. If Obama can be president anybody can!!! You don’t have to know anything just have a teleprompter!!! You see? A piece of cake along with a LOT of “KOOL AID”!
    GOD SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!

    46. Jeff, how dissappointed to listen to the last few seconds of this video. I know this video was done in January and I really hope that you have opened your eyes and do not support Obama. He is truly the worst thing for our great country and you surely have to see that now. This is not a threat but if I find out that you really support Obama than I will not be able to support you as my favorite driver.

His birthday is July 3rd same as my little sister. Hooray for Kyle Bush he is a man above all men……..GOD BLESS #1 KYLE BUSCH!

    48. If you support Jeff Gordon, then you are just like him…….A TRADER TO YOUR COUNTRY! We should all support and stand behind Kyle Busch because he is a man above all men. He was invited to the White House and turned them down because he is like I said….A MAN ABOVE ALL MEN. I always said if I owned a motorsports team I would want someone like Kyle Busch who puts his heart and soul into racing…….he is NO PHONEY!!! There are many phonies out there just like your Jeff Gordon and the others who went including my driver Dale Jr…..I am going to throw all of Dale Jrs stuff away and I have an entire room full of Earnhard……down with them too!

He sure fooled a lot of people. Including Jeff, Jimmie, Rick Hendrick, etc…well, I guess that’s proof that more money does NOT make you smarter.

THEY SSAY THEY WORK FOR CHEAP BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT THEY ARE GETTING 9 PER HOUR AND 3 DOLLARS FOR THOSE THEMP AGENCY TO HELP THEM FIND WORK. THATS NOT CHEAP TO ME. I WORK FOR 8 ER HOUR AND CNAT PAY RENT ON TIME, HALF THE TIME, I SONT HAVE ALL MY FAMILY LIVING WITH ME. AND NOW HEALTH CARE IS A JOKE. YOU HAVE A CO PAYMENT THATS SOMETIMES YOU CANT EVEN COME UP WITH, SO YOU DONT GET TO GO THE DOCTOR YOU SUFFER IT OUT. I LIKE JEFF BUT I THINK THE WORLD IS IN THE MESS BECAUSE THEY ARE TO AFRAID TO STAND UP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. OBAMA IS A JOKE HE ISNT GOING TO DO ANYTHING EITHER. THEY HAVE ILLEGAL MARCHING FOR THEIR RIGHTS GET A BUS AND SHIP THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY BELONG,
