Obama a Skins fan?!

Not necessarily, but in the midst of the insanity that is the presidential nominations, I'm glad to know that he is finding balance watching football! The Oregonian Politics blog reports that the politician made a few Redskins-related comments during the New Hampshire debate:

One of the moderators, Scott Spradling told Obama that his ears must have been ringing from what the Republicans said about him in the first debate.

"Well, you know," Obama shot back with a sly grin, "I have to admit that I was going back and forth between the Republicans and football."

Big laughter.

"How did the Redskins do?" interjected the other moderator, Charles Gibson.

"The Redskins lost," Obama added, with just the right tone of I'm-unhappy-about-it-but-I'll-get-over-it.

Regardless of which team he roots for, he def seems like the type of guy that you could kick back and watch a game with - even with holes in your socks on a Sunday afternoon.
