Obama's Curse Hit's Packers

1 day after the Green Bay Packers met with President Obama, the Packers played the Cleveland Browns and lost to the Browns, 27-17.
From ESPN: Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass before swapping his helmet for a baseball cap in the first quarter as the defending champion Green Bay Packers opened the preseason with a 27-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night.
One day after they were honored in a ceremony at the White House, the Packers began their quest for a second straight Lombardi Trophy. Rodgers and most of Green Bay's first-string offense played only two series in the first quarter, when both the Packers and Browns had long TD drives.
After establishing himself as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks with his performance against Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl, Rodgers was eager to get back under center following an offseason made longer by the lockout. He got off to a rough start, but finished 6 of 8 for 74 yards and threw a 21-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings.
Browns quarterback Colt McCoy outshined Rodgers.

Hopefully, the Obama is good for only 1 game and not the entire season.
Of course, preseason games are like the Iowa straw poll for the GOP presidential candidates, it doesn't really matter.
