OTTAWA (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama has yet to deliver the beer he promised if his country's hockey teams lost to Canada in the Olympics, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Friday, while voicing confidence that the wager would be paid.

"I haven't received it yet, but in fairness to President Obama, he's lost bets to me before, and he's always paid up before," he said to laughter from his interviewers on TSN 1050 Radio in Toronto. " ... I'm sure he will (pay up)."

During a summit in Mexico, the leaders bet a case of beer on the men's and women's teams. The Canadian men beat the United States 1-0 in the semi-finals and then advanced to gold over Sweden, and the Canadian women came from behind in a late surge to snatch gold from the United States 3-2.

Harper, an ardent hockey fan who wrote a book about the sport while serving as prime minister, recounted the last time President Obama paid up, when then-U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson brought over a case of beer.

"President Obama had signed it, so I thought: 'Oh, geez, so I can't really keep this now - it's now got the signature of the president of the United States on it,'" Harper said. "So we shipped it to the Hockey Hall of Fame for their collection."

A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pretty sure Gobbler doesn't have an international situation on his hands right this minute.

I'm sure that any situation Gobbler has in his hands, right now, is small by any measure...

Do you think that, just maybe, the POTUS has a few more resources available to him to have this taken care of? Secretary, interns, staffers?

Mrs Decker, please send the Canadian President a case of Bud Light Lime

See how easy that is?

Are you trying to start a war? And of course when one makes a personal bet one should make a more personal statement with the payoff. Seems like you are way more worried than the Canadian guy, he knows where O is he'll get his beer.

I think Obama, by not honoring his bet, is the one trying to start a war

It's not like he is Reagan looking for an easy target to burnish his war bonafides.

Gotta give credit where it's due. Well done, redneck.

 

[NCCommish]

Maybe if the Canadian guy complains much more he can get a drone delivery.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Obama said that if the Canadian PM mentioned it one more time, he will have crossed the line and there will be consequences.

 

[Parrothead]

no one is angrier than Obama that this beer hasn't been delivered..

Apparently the Canadian PM tried to order it through Obamabeer.gov but the website was down.
