07:56 AM ET 10.25 | While NHL fans joked on Twitter during the debates that it was about time to hear a question on the league's lockout, President Barack Obama did get one on the record. [Obama] was asked on the Tonight Show on Wednesday if he could "pull some strings" to end the NHL lockout, and he pulled no punches. The question was submitted by a viewer and was met with much laughter from the studio audience, but Obama insisted: "I do have a comment on this. Every time these things happen I just want to remind the owners and players: You guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard -- they buy tickets, they're watching on TV. Y'all should be able to figure this out. Get this done."

Y'all
I absolutely cringe every time I hear this word spoken. Like nails on a chalk board and piercing ringing in the ears kinda cringe. Should be banished from the human vocabulary

I for one, am glad he did. I like this:
Obama insisted: "I do have a comment on this. Every time these things happen I just want to remind the owners and players: You guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard -- they buy tickets, they're watching on TV.
