The funniest part was watching Obama being fooled into thinking anyone really cared what he thought about sports.
My favorite interview was with a sports guy who asked Obama who was his favorite Chicago White Sox player. You know, Obama lived on the south side of Chicago and supposedly went to ‘Cominsky Park’ a lot. He then pivoted to the Cubs, but couldn’t name a Cubby player either. Then Obama pointed out that he actually grew up in Hawaii, so his closest baseball team was the Oakland A’s. Yep, you guessed it, he couldn’t name anyone who had played for the A’s either. My second favorite Obama sports moment was learning that it took 20 tries for him to make the basket that was shown on TV for some basketball story. He used to pretend that he would work out with NBA players, but never defined what ‘work out’ really meant ; )
No, the funniest part was watching Obama trying to spell Syracuse.
I used to pay close attention to his brackets. Whoever he picked to win, I didn’t and got better results.
