At a South Lawn event, Obama praised the team not only for the goal line stand that sealed its second Super Bowl trophy but its charitable work in blue collar Baltimore. Quarterback Joe Flacco was singled out for winning the Super Bowls most valuable player -- and a miracle touchdown pass at a playoff game in Denver -- which helped him win a huge $100 million-plus contract in the off-season. "Good timing with that contract up," Obama said. The greying Obama praised safety Ed Reed for the Super Bowls only interception, though he noted Reeds sprouting some grey hairs of his own. "Youre looking like an old man," Obama said. And the president cited legendary linebacker Ray Lewis for returning from injury to lead the defence in the playyoffs -- but only after kidding Lewis that he thought his arm injury came from the motivational dance he performed at every home game.dddddddddddd They shared a bear hug after the event. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gave Obama, the 44th president, the traditional team jersey emblazoned "MR PRESIDENT" and the number 44. Obama wished the team luck but warned them theyll face a tough game against his beloved Bears when they visit Chicago in November. Harbaugh kept his remarks brief but he had a welcome message for the assembled Ravens fans: "I want you to know that we have plans to come back (to the White House) next year." Obama also praised the players for their charitable work. "Youll see players spending their Tuesdays -- normally their only day off during the season -- visiting hospitals and schools and senior centres, and day after day, youll see a team that loves Baltimore as much as Baltimore loves the Ravens," Obama said.
