As it has become tradition, the Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the White House on June 2 on the heels of their World Championship victory this past February.

However, it seems some of the Steelers have little interest visiting the President.  Their more excited about seeing the White House.

Some choice quotes, when asked what they might say:

Casey Hampton(NT) - "It's more about seeing the White House."

Marvel Smith(LT) - "I don't really have much to say to him.  I just want to...I think it's going to be a good experience to go see the White House...meeting the President really is the last thing I'm worried about."

Brett Kiesel(DT) - "I hope we get our troops back soon."

And this great quote from trash-talking linebacker Joey Porter -

"Yeah, I got something to say to Bush, I'm going to have a swagger when I walk in there, too," Porter said, laughing loudly. "I'm looking forward to it. I have something to tell him, too. I don't like the way things are running right now. I feel like he has to give me some of my money back, so I got something to tell Bush."
