Just an FYI, but the frog in the pot story, often used in business circles when describing how people accept change, is an urban legend. The frog will jump out of a slowly heating pot before he dies. Maybe frogs are smarter than people in such matters. Thanking Obama for the Steelers' win???? And just what bet did The President make on the spread?
