In fact, presidents host various champions of sporting events, both pro and amateur, at the White House. And no one complains. The only DU complaints that I heard was when Tim Thomas, then-goalie for the champion Boston Bruins, refused to meet with Obama. People complained about him.
How is that any different from what Michelle Obama did last night?

And old Ronnie at the 1981 Oscars.
The difference is, Democrats aren't racist asshole bigots like repukes are, so there were screams of panty-twisted poutrage when those politicians were at the Oscars.
