Obama Makes Packers Joke In Green Bay
by Staff


Presidential hopeful Barack Obama openly supported the Chicago Bears during a speech at the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay, a report said.

The rest of the story

I actually agree with him. Do you want him to be like Hillary and jump on the home states bandwagon?

[Joemailman]

What did he say that was anti-Packer?

[BallHawk]

You think the Stormin' Mormon's been Obama all the way or is he a Romney convert?

Yea, what he said....you want him to lie and say he likes the Packers? I guess it would be good practice for the chance he might win the office......

If you're running for an office like the president, you shouldn't even bring stuff like that up.
Really poor decision making IMHO

Better then Hillary going into New England the day after the Super Bowl and telling voters that they can vote on February 5th for a winner, unlike the Patriots.

Surprised she made it outta there alive.

I was there...He was talking about how Brady Poppinga was in the crowd and that it's hard for a Packer to support a Bears fan..

But then he said something like "But you wouldn't want a guy coming here and saying he's a Packers fan when he's actually a Bears fan, would you? You gotta stick with your team even when they don't break .500, and don't make the playoffs, and make you wanna pull your hair out. (Of course hearing about the Bears' misfortunes drew laughs and cheers from the crowd)"

He also said he was talking with Brady about letting the Bears have Favre for a couple years because we've had him long enough and of course Brady's answer was no haha..Then he congratulated the Packers on an outstanding season..

He was just having a little fun...Give him a break.

John Kerry pulled a good one in '04 when he called Lambeau "Lambert Field".

Obama didn't sound like he went that crazy.

[Jimx29]

Hey...I was on the fence before. Now i'm not

You just wait and see. If he loses by one vote....oh well

[packinpatland]

Has Mrs Clinton showed up in GB yet?

That was absolutely the perfect way to handle things, who's complaining about that exchange?

[Packers4Ever]

Has Mrs Clinton showed up in GB yet?

Not sure that GB was on her schedule but I could be wrong; - I think it was Milwaukee, Eau Claire and one other city. I believe they took off for Texas
after the visit here as the weather turned wicked poor here which almost
never happens !

Apparently his comments rubbed Numb the wrong way but the rest of Wisconsin didn't care..Obama won Wisconsin by a landslide
