    Obama will watch Super Bowl, wishes Bears playing

    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The First Fan has only one complaint about Sunday's Super Bowl: his favorite team isn't in it.

    President Barack Obama says on Twitter he's "looking forward to catching some of the big game" between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. But he wishes "the Bears weren't watching it from home, too." Obama is a big fan of his hometown Chicago Bears and welcomed the 1985 team to the White House in October to celebrate their NFL title. The '85 Bears never got the traditional White House reception for Super Bowl champs, with the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurring two days after their victory over the New England Patriots.

    Sunday's tweet was signed "bo," meaning it came from the president himself.

      I am surprised that Rahm Emmanual didn't make the Super Bowl a possibility for the Bears this year..I mean everything out of Chicago reeks of polluted politics and I am sure sports isn't exempt....

      Maybe he can bribe the NFL next year, it is the Chicago governmental way. He will be unemployed then, so he should have some time on his hands.

      Obama should tax the players on the big market teams and give the money to the players in small market teams like Chicago. NY is not paying their fair share. Eli should pay for the city of Chicago's health care too.

      Obama just cannot realize the fact the Bears are not in the Super Bowl, just like he cannot realize that his policies and legislation has lead this nation down the wrong road. You do not create jobs with tax payers money, its take corporations, companies and businesses, and Obama is anti-corporation. No vote for Obama in 2012.

      Good reason to be thankful the Bears aren't in the Super Bowl. We would have to see more of him.
    • poor richard  •  3 mths ago
      Bet he knows more about football and basketball than he knows about running the country.
