OBAMA PULLING FOR PITTSBURGH
Posted by Mike Florio on January 27, 2009, 5:09 p.m. EST
Maybe it’s never too early think ahead to the next election.

With Pennsylvania certain to be a so-called “battleground state” again in 2012, Barack Obama got a head start on currying favor with at least half of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by declaring his allegiance to the Steelers for Super Bowl XLIII.

At least that’s what Steelers owner Dan Rooney said earlier this week.

“He said it, and all his staff, they’re rooting for us,” Rooney told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (via Newsday).

It’s no surprise; Rooney supported Obama fervently and aggressively during the election, and Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill backed Arizona native son, John McCain.

Of course, there’s a chance that Obama’s figurative waving of a Terrible Towel could rile up the Cards.

“We know that everything is on the line and that [President] Obama actually wants Pittsburgh to win,” Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said during Media Day. “That’s kind of crazy when the President wants another team to win, but again we’ve been against all odds this season and I’m pretty sure that [Coach Whisenhunt] will come up with a great game plan and we’ll be ready on Sunday.”

Though we’re officially neutral on this whole Super Bowl rooting thing, we’d kind of like to see the Cardinals pay a visit to the White House to give Obama a ceremonial jersey, with a side of humble pie.

I can't believe I voted for this guy!

Of course his staff would NEVER root for somebody else and go against what the great Obama told them to do... Nice diversity of thought, nice free thinking... sheep.

He should be impeached

Just another example of poor decision making and the people he associates with.

He is a White Sox fan.......

C'mon Jules, he's rooting for the Steelers for 2 reasons... 1, they have a ton more fans than the Cardinals, which equates to more support for HIM... and 2, because they are the favorite... it's that simple. Since when has he taken a position that wasn't going to be popular?

yeah, maybe the Cards should be more concerned with their own fan base, and not the allegiance of 1 man.

Then again, it seems no one is making a big deal out of it except.....you guessed it....the media.

It's sad to think that at the current rate, The Sun and The Inquirer will be a better source of factual news in 20 years than most current sources.

I honestly didn't realize anybody was making a big deal of it...

They aren't.....some people have become extremely sensitive all the sudden.

I thought this thread was going to be about the bailout.

There is a reason I call the man B.O.
