Obama predicts win for Bears over Packers

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Barack Obama is predicting that his hometown Chicago Bears will defeat their rivals, the Green Bay Packers, 20-17 in Sunday's NFC championship game.

But White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says Obama won't hold a grudge against the state of Wisconsin should the Packers pull off a win. Gibbs says Obama will travel to Manitowoc, Wis., on Wednesday, regardless of the outcome.

Obama set off speculation this week that he would attend the Super Bowl if the Bears make it in. After being asked about his plans for the big game, Obama said with a laugh: "Oh, if the Bears are in the Super Bowl, we're going."

Gibbs tried to back away from that, saying that as a superstitious fan, it was too soon to be making Super Bowl plans.

Packers will win.
Power is nothing till you use it.

You cheese-heads are funny.  Rabid fans til the end.

Have you seen the HBO documentary about Vince Lombardi yet?  Top rate.  Learned alot about him I didn't know.  Gained an awful lot of respect for him and his family.  Likely the greatest coach that ever lived, and I'm not talking about just football, either.

Somehow I bet the president doesn't have to go to the scalpers to get Super Bowl tix.

Nope, that's what he has the secret service for.  I bet they can get a real good deal from the street resellers (scalpers isn't PC, don't ya know)
