Will the President Go to the Super Bowl if the Bears Do? “No Doubt,” He Says
ABCNews ^ | 1/19/2011 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 01/19/2011 6:38:16 PM PST by redk

After the pool spray with President Hu Jintao in the Oval Office, a cameraman asked President Obama “If the Bears win, are you going to the Super Bowl?”

“Oh we're going,” responded the President, “no doubt.”

On Sunday, the Chicago Bears will play the Green Bay Packers at Chicago’s Soldier Field for the NFC Championship.

As a freshman senator in December 2006, with the political world wondering about his plans for 2008, Mr. Obama appeared in a mock-commercial during Monday Night Football in which he said, “I'm here tonight to answer some questions about a very important contest that's been weighing on the minds of the American people. A contest about the future . . . a contest that will ultimately be decided in America's heartland. Tonight, I'd like to put all the doubts to rest. I'd like to announce to my hometown of Chicago and all of America that I am ready" ---- at this point he donned a Bears baseball cap -- "for the Bears to go all the way, baby!”

Packers or Bears...makes no difference.

The Steelers are gonna crush ‘em.

We’ve been praying in Da ‘Burgh.

Our Father, who is Art Rooney
Hallowed be Thy Game
Thy touchdowns come, Thy Super Bowls be won
In Dallas as they are in Heinz Field.
Give us this day ring number seven
And forgive us our penalties
As we try to forgive those who root against us.
And lead us not into lost yardage
But deliver us from turnovers
A-Ben

Yeah nothing against the Bears, but I’d rather he not show up, pose with an empty beer can and pretend he acts like a regular guy.

First there was the Olympics disaster, then the Final Four fiasco...I bet there are a lot of bears fans cringing right now.

The Pack is Back!

Good Lord, how much would a Chicago win cost us poor taxpayers to get Obammy, Moochelle, and their contingent of sycophants, Tmen, etc? Millions and millions!

Go Pack!

Steelers will crush them so bad they’ll need ACORN assistance to field a team next year.

*BARF* He’s coming here after his ‘Disastrous State of the Nation’ speech.

I do not know why...

What I DO know is that he’s going to COST Wisconsin Taxpayers much more than he’s worth in security measures while he’s here...

1. He’ll happily inconvenience thousands of people so he can get his kicks.

2. I hope if he does go, his ass gets booed.

3. I have to root for the Packers now.

"Da Bearss still suck, Da Bearss still suck"

The good news is Bambi is as wrong with his sports predictions as he is with everything else........

He's going there to laud some broke green enterprise he wants you to pay for.

Laugh, lest you scream too loud.
