I love that he's willing to make his predictions and let us know his rooting interests.

Is this not what we expect him to do? The whole idea of President Obama breaking away from the norm, is in line with picking his favorite team – and making his choice public.

It's always struck me as odd when the President cheers for a team. It always struck me as odd when Giuliani would cheer for the Yankees over the Mets. It just feels funny to me, that's all.

As I said, he's a FAN. Sports fans talk sports, and part of that is making predictions. I can't help but sense a bit of an agenda. I mean, "He’s supposed to be uniting the country, not picking sides" -- seriously? :roll: No, he’s not a local plumber or sports broadcaster. As I said, he’s a FAN.

Because he's the leader of the nation and has no stake in the contests, so it's an easy one to not pick sides in.

Yeah she lost but she's still the best in my book. Great that thing called opinion isn't it?
