Obama is even elitist about baseball!
Scott: “If the Cubs and the White Sox both make it to the World Series?
Obama: “I would be going.”
Scott: “Who would you root for?
Obama: “Oh, that's easy. White Sox. I'm not one of these fair weather fans. You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there. People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball. Southside.”
Yes, I'm kidding. It's impossible to be elitist about baseball in its current condition anyway.
(Hat tip: Cubs fan Tom Kacich. Also: as Kacich goes, so goes the election, right?)
Go CUBS!!!!
It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball. Southside.”--It's not serious, after some Cub fans have waited up to a hundred years, and never gave up, yes never? There are millions of Cubs fans all over the world; I would say that Obama couldn't fill a phone booth in downtown France with yelling fans now. I would say the worst part is the "I'm not one of these fair weather fans" this maybe worse then Obama’s “clinging to the religion and guns quote”. I think “Fair Weather Fan” maybe trademarked by the "Waiting for next year" wing of the Cub Fan forever Fan Club. I understand Tom’s thinking completely, a President is only for a few years 4 or 8 maybe 16.
[edit... this one turned out better]

Glock21 Op/Ed
On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a White Sox fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are White Sox fans.
Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.
The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a White Sox fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a White Sox fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am a Cubs fan, and proud of it," Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why pray tell are you a Cubs fan?"
"Because my mom is a Cubs fan, and my dad is Cubs fan, so I'm a Cubs fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Cubs fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a hooker and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?"
"Then," Janie smiled, "I'd be a White Sox fan."
True...sox fans are southside scum.
