I know he’s not the least bit worried about carrying the state of Illinois, still this was not a very smart thing to say:
We all knew Barack Obama is a White Sox fan, but the presumed Democratic presidential nominee took it a bit further in an interview with ESPN.
Obama joked about the stereotype of Cubs fans, who probably are tired of being described as partying people-watchers instead of serious baseball fans.
“You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there,” Obama said, according to transcripts released by ESPN. “People aren’t watching the game. It’s not serious. White Sox, that’s baseball.”
Senator Obama, my grandparents passed away many years ago, which in Chicago means they are still voting… and they were bigger Cubs fans than I am.
