President picks Bears to win, 20-17

Rosenthal thinks that the Bears will beat the Packers on Sunday, 20-17.

Barack Obama approves of this message.

As it turns out, the President has picked thesame outcome and the same score, according to the Associated Press.

Per the AP, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama won’t hold a grudge against Wisconsin if the Packers win.

Frankly, Obama should be more concerned about Wisconsin holding a grudge against him, if the Bears win.  Or if the Bears lose.

In 2008, Obama carried Wisconsin, capturing its 10 electoral votes.  Though the next election is still 22 months away, plenty of registered Wisconsin voters will remember this actual or perceived slight, regardless of the outcome.

But, hey, at least Obama hasn’t publicly accused Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers of snubbing a cancer patient.

Yet.
