Obama loves his White Sox, but has words for Cubs fans

Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Chicago White Sox fan. But, if you watched the 2005 American League Championship Series, you might already know that. Obama threw out the first pitch of game two of that series, as the White Sox went on to win the World Series with a sweep of the Houston Astros.
Yet, Obama made some interesting comments about those ‘Lovable Losers’ from the Northside of Chicago. Obama said that fans at Wrigley Field don’t watch the game, rather stating that they are there more for the beer. He even called fans of the White Sox more serious about watching the game.
Well, that’s not the way to win over those voters on the Northside, Obama! But imagine this — Ozzie Guillen on Obama’s staff as maybe the Secretary of State. Could you imagine what Ozzie might say about countries that rub him the wrong way. Now that would be entertaining.
