So, now Obama is 0-4. First in Virginia, he endorsed and campaigned for Democrat Creigh Deeds for governor, who was destroyed by Republican Bob McDonnell. Next in New Jersey, he endorsed and campaigned for Democrat Jon Corzine for governor and he was defeated by Republican Chris Christie. Then in Massachusetts he endorsed and campaigned for Democrat Martha Coakley who was handily defeated by Republican Scott Brown in a total upset. Last night, he gave the Colts the kiss of death when he predicted they would defeat the Saints in the Super Bowl.
President Barack Obama says the Indianapolis Colts "have to be favored" in the Super Bowl, even though he has a "soft spot" for the New Orleans Saints.Obama's Super Bowl prediction was based on his opinion that the Colts have "perhaps the best quarterback in history."
"Peyton Manning is unbelievable," the president told CBS' Katie Couric during a live pre-game interview.
The result?
Peyton Manning essentially collapsed, the Colts's defense didn't show up for the second, third, or fourth quarters, and the Saints routed the Colts, 31 - 17.
The Blog Prof quips:
So how nervous is Harry Reid right now that Obama is promised to stump for him in Nevada???
Democrats who are running for office in November should sweat bullets at the prospect of Obama campaigning for them.

Maybe the cover of Sports Illustrated is no longer the biggest curse in sports.

Let's see what else the Jug-Eared Douche has predicted:
"we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth."
Based on Jug's percentages, it looks like we're all sca-rewed...

As long as you're bringing sports into the mix, don't forget Obama's NCAA B-Ball Tournament picks last spring.

I'm beginning to wonder if that moron in the White House (Obama, not Rahm) understands ENGLISH. The American people have told him loud and clear that we don't want his health care nonsense and still he keep pushing for it!

Naturally Hussein HAD to be on TV pre game. I was rather surprised he didn't do a WALK ON after the WHO's first number.

Uh...why did the Curic interview of Obama turn into a political interview on SUPERBOWL PRE-GAME! Come on seriously? Hasn't the SOB been on tv enough spewing his idealogy without having to be on during one of America's most revered sports holidays? I guess he will weasle his way into the NBA all-star game this weekend.
America I'm Awesome! I fail to understand why you can't recognize how awesome I am! So I will explain yet again how awesome I am!

I figured he'd present the Lombardi Trophy, only after renaming it after himself, of course.

He also ended the University of Kentucky's status as an undefeated team when he talked to the team, congratulating them on reaching number 1 and thanking them for raising a TON of money for Haiti relief.

I wouldn't talk so loudly about this.
It might occur to him to endorse Palin which would ensure him a walkover in 2012.

Come to think of it, based on Obama's record so far, it's actually a good thing that he's never rooted for America.
