Posted in And the winner is…The New Orleans Saints!
President Barack Obama revealed his pick last night in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer
“You know, I think both teams are terrific,” Obama told Sawyer. “I guess I am rooting a little bit for the Saints as the underdog, partly just because when I think about what’s happened in New Orleans over the last several years and how much that team means to them. You know, I’m pretty sympathetic.”
I wonder if the Super Bowl betting odds makers agree with him.
Thanks for your vote of confidence Commander in Chief!

…and in other news, my beard grew about 0.00042 inches today. Both are of equal importance to the outcome of the superbowl.
…………so why bother to read or post your dumb comment GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!
What’s not to love about black, gold and fleur de lis. Does not have to be scientific!
Go SAINTS……..
Lazziz le bon temp roulez…Geaux Saints
It’s too bad Obama gave the Saints a pity vote – he’s backing the losers. GO INDY!!!!!
Manning is going to get the snot kicked out of him. Then, I guess he will have to stick to making more repulsive commercials.
GO SAINTS!!
His commercials are good and funny, but after seeing what the Saints did to Favre, you could be right…
Okay….wishful thinking huh??… but I don’t think so. You may be disappointed.
GO COLTS!!!!
Mary Lou, whatever! And it is Mr. President or President Obama.
oh wait whats that i hear, WHO DATTT!!! super bowl champs. suck it.
Colts are totally going to kick saints ass…So mr. obama suck it…
It’s Pres. Obama not Mr. Obama, get it straight! Colts 27, Saints 23.
ur an idoit saints got lucky becuase vikings turned the ball over so much dumbass
Pres, not in my eyes. I thought mr. was a bit much. Glad the looser backed what will be another looser. GO COLTS!
Well the Saints were picked by the loser in the White House. Sorry Saints fans this bum hasn’t picked anything right since he went to Washington.
WHO DAT – GO SAINTS – GOOD PICK OBAMA
Why would anyone care what Obama’s prediction is? He clearly is not a sports fan…missing the annual Army Navy game that no president has ever missed. GO COLTS!
Psalm 109:8
Who cares what he thinks!

obama we need jobs not football predictions
i love president obama and i love saints!!!!!!!!
Watch out Obama! After Peyton kicks the Saints out of Miami he’s kickin you out of the White House in the next election! BOOYAH! Peyton for president!
Please read what was said. Rooting for and picking someone to win are two different things. He didn’t predict anyone to win. He said he was rooting for the Saints. That’s not a prediction!! Geaux Saints !!
Wow, the President, made a comment worth noting. With all that New Orleans has gone through and have revived and survived the disaster that will always be assocoated with New Orleans, I am cheering for the Saints too. let’s not make this political. God Bless America, God Bless America and God Bless the saints! Go Saints…
Saints 100 Colts 3
Funny..and Santa is real
no matter who wins or who loses… the SAINTS gave new orleans somthing they have been waiting for years , a chance at the big game. for all you nay sayer. new orleans is a great city and we have a great football team. GO SAINTS …WE ARE THE WHO DAT NATION
President Obama hasn’t been able to do anything right since he got into office. This is just another example. Go Colts!!
Saints going to win by 2 touchdowns
if you live in the United States of America…….Gusess what! President Obama is your president too…i am lol at you Fools..an if you don’t like it find out where your ancestors came from and go back! cause clearly you are not contributing anything of value to America, specially not your opinion! Geaux Saints! U R now entering The Who Dat Nation! Who Dat! Who Dat! Saints 42, Colts an Ass whiping! no matter what the score!
Hey Manning. Beware. This is not your daddy”s Saints.
@ marvin u suck..
The Saints will be marching in Miami. Who Dat Nation rules!!!!!!!
A devil picking the saints?
Well now we know who will win just like last year why can’t this clown keep his mouth shut first he makes Washinton worse than it was now he has to screw up sports?
Does anyone really care anymore what B.O. thinks???
No dpound2323, they don’t. One looser backing another.
To add on to what “Lance” said..He’s neither Pres. Obama or Mr. Obama…He’s Barack to me…
I would be upset if that loser, President Obama, picked my favorite team to win the Super Bowl. That’s the kiss of death.
The Saints got to the Viking’s QB (I won’t even that jerks name) alot in the championship game, but they would have lost if Minnesota didn’t turn the ball over 6 times.
So couple their inexperience with the fact they got out played in the NFC championship game, and Obama’s endorsement, things don’t look too good for the Saints.
The Colts are going to win Super Bowl XLIV.
His name is NObama. I didn’t vote for him so he’s not my president. Truth be told, even though you voted for him, do you really think your vote mattered as well? LOL…
The Colts are going to win because of Manning being the greatest
quarterback of all time… there is no way to stop him. If he wants
to win the game, he will. They have had a vast amount of 4th quarter
comebacks this year and when the Ravens sat back, Peyton found a way
to beat them, when the Jets came blitz heavy, Peyton found a way to
beat them…
He is just too good and will continue to be until his retires on top
of the game. As a fan of the game, I used to hate Manning because of
how good he was, but through-out the years, it’s impossible as a fan
of the game not to enjoy watching him play.
Drew Brees on the other hands, is no slouch, in my eyes, he is the
best quarterback other than Peyton and this is going to be quite the
SuperBowl. TheCoach was predicting a Saints-Colts SuperBowl earlier
in the season and I am so glad it’s happened!!

WAIT, wait, it’s ok. Obama picked both the Saints AND the Colts to win.
So, he’s totally right, and clearly, made the right choices between the two.
Another WISE, INTUITIVE, Well Thought Out, selection by our “leader”, bongo ears Obama.
