Obama says he's going to Super Bowl – if the Chicago Bears are there

President Obama tells reporters that If the Chicago Bears defeat the Green Bay Packers and advance to Super Bowl XLV, 'I'm going, no doubt.' It would be the first time a sitting president attends the game.


WASHINGTON -- If the Chicago Bears win the NFC title and head to the Super Bowl, President Obama is going with them.

Obama, an ardent football fan, made the declaration Wednesday morning as he sat down with Hu Jintao in the Oval Office for talks with the Chinese president.
"If the Bears win, I'm going, no doubt," Obama said.
To get to Super Bowl XLV in Texas, the Bears must beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field. Obama is likely to watch the NFC title game in the White House theater.
The Super Bowl has been a big event each year for the Obama White House. For the first two years of his term, he has hosted bipartisan viewing parties, usually inviting lawmakers from the home states of competing teams.
