President Cheering For A Steelers Win On Sunday
Washington- President Barack Obama may be surrounded in red as he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act today, but he'll be rooting for the black & gold on Sunday!
When it comes to Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers have received the Presidential seal.
During an appearance at the White House this afternoon with Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama was asked by a reporter, who he'd like to see win the Super Bowl.
The President said that while he likes the Arizona Cardinals, he will be rooting for the Steelers on Sunday night.
"You know, Kurt Warner is a great story -- and he's closer to my age than anybody else on the field," President Obama told reporters, "but I am a longtime Steelers fan."
Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney was an outspoken supporter of Obama. Several former Steelers including Franco Harris campaigned for Obama for the Democratic primary and general election.
Obama, who is from Chicago, says he's a die hard Bears fan, but next to the Bears, the Steelers are close to his heart.
"I wish the best to the Cardinals," President Obama added. "They've been long suffering. It's a great Cinderella story. But other than the Bears, the Steelers are probably the team that's closest to my heart."
YAY!! I heart President Obama!!!
