Obama Roots For Chisox … er Phillies … er Dodg

BIG LEAGUE STEW has video of Barack Obama letting everyone know that he’s a White Sox fan …


… make that whatever town he happens to be in that’s still alive in the playoffs. Isn’t that what Sarah Palin has been accused of doing 400,000 times over the past week?

I just can’t believe it. Can you?

    Switching team allegiances as the playoffs progress? So he's just like ESPN.

    This should just be McCain's next ad. No commentary needed.

    Don't jump on Obama. He really is about change. I believe him. Really, I do.

    No really.

    Let the Flyers have Obama drop the first puck at one of their games and see what reaction he gets.

    Surely this video was doctored by Karl Rove. Or the Clintons. Or the Republican attack machine. I don't think it's real. Can't be.

    Was that a burlap sack I saw moving behind him? A Michelle Obama sighting - sans ballgag!

    Anytime you mention Karl Rove, wolves howl in the distance.

    At least he started with his admission about the White Sox and not trying to make some excuse like Guiliani and his lame "I'm an American League fan" when he got caught with a Red Sox hat.

    It would be interesting to hear who McCain likes in the playoffs, since he was alive when baseball was invented.

    John McCain and Abner Doubleday were the best of childhood buddies.

    Oh, ha ha ha, McCain is old. These jokes about his age are getting old.

    Shouldn't someone have trashed Palin by now? What's taking so long? I seem to remember an errant eye twitch from her this morning - how can that go unmentioned?!

    Sarah Palin is a VPILF.

    Democrats are giving us another flip-flopper.

    He wasn't flip-flopping. He admitted he's still a White Sox fan, but for the moment was a Phillies fan for the Phillies' audience. Palin keeps changing sports team allegiance - when she's not claiming Obama "hangs with terrorists".

    So a guy's not allowed to like two different teams in two different leagues?

    Yeah, Palin's been ragged for doing the same thing, but I don't recall Joe Biden hurling character-based insults at her presidential running mate.
