Cultural divide here in the earlymorning tweets. The president also spoke about this today . Reporter he did speak about it. He was meeting with the spanish Prime Minister in the rose garden of the white house. And he said, ive not been distracted by this at all. Ive not been distracted by the nfl controversy at all. A reporter was asking him about puerto rico, why hes tweeted 24 times about the nfl, 4 times about puerto rico. This is what he said. To me, the nfl situation is an important situation.
