Obama Tribute 'Not for WWE'
President Barack Obama has denied taping a special message for WWE's Tribute to the Troops TV show.

However a White House spokesman insists Obama did NOT tape his message exclusively for the wrestling programme. Instead, the spokesman revealed the President taped a general greeting that was made available to any media outlet who wanted to air it...More?
