Everyone who knows me knows I want Barack Obama to win. Anyone who knows me well knows there is only one thing closer to my heart than politics and that is baseball. You can only imagine my horror at comments Barack Obama made about the World Series. No, I do not mean his 'flip-flopping' between the Rays and the evil Phillies. I mean what he said before then. He said he is a White Sox fan. I am sorry, what? I haven't felt this way since Hillary Clinton, also from Chicago, stood up at an event at the beginning of her first Senate campaign in NY and declared herself a Yankees fan — and before she put the cap on she straightened out the bill of the cap. WTF?
We all expect politicians to pander to their audience on policy or maybe when the locals are the the championships but what are these people thinking. Barack Obama is a White Sox fan? It's a darn good thing he is as smart and decent as he is or well, I would still vote for him but I am not happy about his choice. Seriously, has he not heard of the Cubs? I am not so sure about these American League fans. Maybe they are part of the fake America that Sarah Palin is always talking about.
