And so Obama goes from pretending to be a White Sox fan, to pretending to be a Yankees fan. The guy was asked on the air to name his favorite White Sox player of all time, and he changed the subject.

Sounds like Teixeira is not an Obama supporter?

" "I don't choose to share my politics; [today] I am a New York Yankee," Mark Teixeira said. "There is no reason to bring politics on Monday, because I am representing the New York Yankees."

Obama and the Yankees....two entities we are told are ‘popular’ despite our inability to find anyone living on our street who agrees with this assessment.

Political cover for his disastrous Opening Day faux pas of not being able to name a single White Sox player. He could have had the Yankees at the White House anytime post season.

I’m surprised Comrade Obama isn’t a huge supporter of the “Reds”.

I found this quote interesting from our beloved Mark Texteria:

“I don't choose to share my politics; [today] I am a New York Yankee,” Mark Teixeira said. “There is no reason to bring politics on Monday, because I am representing the New York Yankees.”
