Obama: Seven-game World Series

by Mark Silva

Who is President Barack Obama, the noted White Sox fan from Chicago, rooting for in the World Series?

"I asked the president,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today, with the Yankees leading the Phillies 3-2 in the series. "He said he hoped for a good series but didn't have a strong pull for either team.''

Does that mean a seven-game series?

There goes Pennsylvania, one reporter joked.

"We'll see. We'll see,'' Gibbs said.

Press pressing for an answer: Seven-game series?

"I think he would probably hope to see seven,'' Gibbs said.

So at least it's clear who Obama is rooting for in Game 6.
