President Barack Obama and Whitehouse Press Secretary Robert Gibbs have lost a bet to their Canadian counterparts, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Spokesman Dimitri Soudas. Obama is having a 24-pack of Molson Canadian to Harper's office while Gibbs has to run a press conference while wearing a bright red Canadian hockey jersey, complete with maple leaf.Pretty funny stuff from our nations' collective leadership. It's good to see that they've retained a sense of humor in all that's going on athletically, economically, and politically. When asked about the beer delivery, Gibbs responded "We are working on the delivery." Had Obama won, Harper would have had to deliver 24 American beers to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Worse is the bed that Robert Gibbs made for himself. He first bet Soudas that the US women would beat the Canadian women; loser has to wear an opponents jersey to 
an off-camera press meeting. After losing, Gibbs stepped his game up and offered a double down on the US men to beat Canada. This time the loser would have to do an entire on-camera press conference in the opposing country's jersey. "I'll be getting him the jersey over the next couple of days," Soudas said Monday afternoon. Note: this is not what Gibbs will look like.
