His Only Mistake Is The Team He Backs

Obama Chicago Bears

On Sunday afternoons, Sen. Obama is America’s go-to guy for gridiron action.

People would rather watch a football game with Barack Obama than with John McCain — but by barely the length of a football.

Obama was the pick over McCain by a narrow 50 percent to 47 percent, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll released Friday that generally mirrored each presidential candidate’s strengths and weaknesses with voters. Women, minorities, younger and unmarried people were likelier to prefer catching a game with Obama while men, whites, older and married people would rather watch with McCain.

    Sexy Rexy and the Bears will have a better record than the Skins. And I know MY BROTHER would have the final say by saying they both suck! GO GIANTS!!!!!! (little shout out to you Oliver)

    Well, that’s only fair. McCain’s favorite football team is the Chicago Cardinals.

    I don’t even like football (heresy, I know), and I’d watch a game with him. Even a Bears game.

    Footballs are 3% long. Good to know. I’d always wondered.

    Sexy Rexy is riding pine this season, but I guess it still means that the Bears record is his record. Kyle “Captain Neckbeard” Orton currently lines up at center.

    I would actually be more interested to watch McCain watching a football game, just to see his armchair coaching as it relates to his strategic and tactical thinking.

    Just a hunch, but I think he’d call the exact same running play fifty times in a row, and when it stopped working, he’d suggest sending in a second and third running back.

    Why are older married white males such a bunch of stupid assholes?

    I mean, I can’t take a Youth Elixir, and I won’t get a divorce, and it would be dubious if not downright insulting (not mainly to me) to go around in blackface, so do I hafta get a sex change to get away from these malicious idiots??

    I think McCain would be fun to watch a game with.
