ESPN ^

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is promising he'll be at the Super Bowl if his beloved hometown Chicago Bears make it in. (snip) Obama was asked about his plans Wednesday by reporters being ushered out of his Oval Office meeting with the president of China. Obama said laughingly: "Oh, if the Bears are in the Super Bowl, we're going."

Look on the bright side: won’t he have to sit through a tribute to Ronald Reagan?

I remember reading an article here a month or two ago about how to get O's attention.

Talk politics? nah. Talk issues? nah. Talk presidential? nah....

Talk sports and you'll nail his feet to the floor for hours.

Having been raised in a household in which the 49ers were our team (not to mention the SF Giants), I pretty much had little options there. However, I do have other teams that I enjoy watching. The Bears are not among them. I did like the Bulls when Jordan was playing. But, given recent history, I can’t support much that comes out of the state of Illinois. Pity, considering my favorite President is from there.

Maybe he will suit up or coach.

Hmm. Just a thought here - given the NFL’s seeming penchant for “choosing” playoff victors, I’m wondering how the officiating will be in this game?

Zero would be the guest of Jerry Jones... the new stadium is big...but not big enough for those two egos!

“Obama versus Dikka...who wins?”
“Dikka.”

Damn the terrorists. Folks make too much of that. They aren’t around every corner. And they are — like criminals — dumb and make mistakes. Highly incompetent.

But the security would be ugly and Obama’s not modest in that regard.

My point is this: he’s not a King. Americans, being Americans, should fiercely reject the idea that any man can wave himself into a highly desirable and hard to get seat.

The bozo is a friggin arrogant bum.

If the Packers win, they would ironically pick up the George Halas Trophy.

I would give $100 to hear what Mike Ditka said about this when he heard it.

Remember the Saturday Night Live skits they used to do about Ditka? If done today: 2012 election and Ditka decides to run. Result? Ditka 85% Obama 15%

Having grown up as a Packers fan (in Sauk Prairie), I really don’t like the Bears as it is. Boy did the ante just go through the roof.

GO YOU PACKERS GO!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn’t be cheering for them if I wasn’t from here. Chicago is a corrupt cesspool, and I choose to live in the suburbs here.

Well, to be honest, California isn’t a whole lot different. The coruption in our state capital and in the areas controlled by the libs is bankrupting this once proud state. I’m trying to figure a way to afford to relocate, and a place to relocate to.
