Obama didn’t let his hurt feelings get in the way of congratulating the Packers.

“In the spirit of sportsmanship, I wish you ‘good luck’ in the Super Bowl,” he said.

Obama said he wanted to make it clear that he didn’t come to Wisconsin “because I lost a bet.” He was also clear about all the Green Bay jerseys he had received shortly after arriving.

“I’ve only been on the ground for an hour. I’ve got three jerseys,” Obama said. “One of them is from (Packers cornerback Charles) Woodson and he just said, ‘See you at the White House.’”

1. It is correct that it is not about a bet.

The bet concept is a blocker, it is not about that.

2. If he were a socialist,,,

he'd force the Packers to share Rogers with the Bears. ;-)

5. I'm getting so excited.

I just wish my husband was here...I wish I could afford the tickets. I have a feeling this is the closest I'll ever live to a place where the Pack are playing in the Super Bowl.
