Obama: White Sox not out yet
by Mark Silva
President Barack Obama is a die-hard White Sox fan.
How hard?
The president wore a Sox jacket as he tossed the ceremonial opening pitch at the All Star game, he was reminded in an interview that aired on NBC News' Meet the Press today.
But, NBC's David Gregory told the president at the close of a serious session on health-care and much more, part of a five-network media blitz that Obama was making on the Sunday news shows this morning: "Hate to break it to you, but doesn't look so good for your White Sox here.'''
How die-hard?
Who is the president picking for a World Series winner?
"I think mathematically, the White Sox can still get in the playoffs.,'' Obama said.
"You're an optimist,'' Gregory said.
"So... until they are eliminated, I will make no predictions,'' the Chicagoan said.
"Oh, come on.''
"I've got say, though, that the-- the Cardinals have been-- been coming on strong. And Pujols is unbelievable,' Obama added. "But -- this is tough to say. The Yankees are also doing pretty well. And a shout out to Derek Jeter for breaking Lou Gehrig's record. He's... a classic.''
Ron Paul: Leave Government Out Of Insurance Plan
One of the strongest opponents of government intervention in reforming the health care industry is Congressman Ron Paul — a Republican from Texas. He's known to some as "Dr. No" for his opposition to tax hikes and refusal to vote for spending bills. He tells Weekend All Things Considered host Guy Raz that he doesn't believe health care is a right.
