NEW YORK (November 19, 2009)--President Barack Obama will appear with NFL players Drew Brees, Troy Polamalu and DeMarcus Ware in a public service announcement that will air during the league's Thanksgiving games.

The 90-second spot shows Mr. Obama and the NFL stars playing touch football with children on the White House lawn.

It promotes the league's Play 60 campaign, which encourages physical activity to combat childhood obesity, and the president's community service initiative United We Serve.

Mr. Obama wears a Chicago Bears jacket as he plays football with Brees, the New Orleans Saints quarterback, Polamalu, the Pittsburgh Steelers safety, and Ware, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker.

A shorter version of the spot will air throughout the season.

I know this is for a good cause, but it does raise an eyebrow. Why is the President doing ad time in NFL games? He acts like a rock star. He just has to be in the camera. I guess that is how he tries to get support that way by keeping himself in the public eye. If he would just do his job instead of getting nothing done he wouldn't need so much air time.
