C'mon the past 43 Super Bowls I've picked a team I wanted to win.

So what the heck is this with the "No don't cheer for us Obama!!" talk. I think it's awesome, and you can expect a lot more now that we're here.

It beats the heck out of being the punchline on the Tonight Show monologue. Believe me, that used to happen a lot. Many of you would have hated Johnny Carson...

ENJOY THIS!

EXACTLY! Don't make it political, just enjoy it. He want be the only one jumping on the bandwagon either.

Thats bad ass our president is pulling for us.

WHO DAT!!!!!

That is kinda cool. Unfortunately he didn't do too well in his March Madness bracket last year, but he probably knows more about sports that the average politician. & don't forget, he was in that commercial with Brees.

Damn, Oh well, I guess its proof positive that I'm a die-hard fan. I'll still root for the Saints anyway.

Well lets see if you want to drag politics into, well "don't" even start. Obama is favoring The Saints and Pres. Bush Sr. was sitting with Mr. Benson at the Vikes game. Come game day I could care less what political party you support if your with The Saints your with me.

I'll take most anyone's support we can get.

I like the prez. Maybe not some of the things he has done but.... he isn't a Dallas fan (think on that one!!)

homerj07 · 01-26-2010, 09:07 PM

I'll take his support over a windbag like Limbaugh.

PLUS - We are a feel good story. Not just because of Katrina & I know some people are getting sick of that particular thread, but becuse we have suffered so long.

I have been waiting for 30 years for this & I am going to enjoy it!!

I usually find myself supporting the NFC team in The SB. The Cowboys and a few other teams are probably the exception. So it does not surprise me that The Pres would support another NFC team since Da Bears are in the same conference. The real question is who Brett Favre is backing, hopefully they will let him out of Psychotherapy long enough to watch the game.
