Give President Obama credit - he didn't duck the big issue on his campaign swing into Philly yesterday afternoon for a stump speech for Hillary Clinton.
He's a Bears fan.
His timing could be better.
The Eagles - with wunderkind Carson Wentz at the helm - will literally be loaded for Bears when they hit Chicago for a prime time appearance on Monday Night Football in a couple of weeks.
Obama told the crowed gathered on the Parkway in Philly for the outdoor event that they may have noticed Vice President Joe Biden was at Sunday's Eagles opener at Linc, in which Wentz sparkled in his debut, leading the Birds to a big win over the Browns.
The commander-in-chief (of the nation, not the Eagles) said his VP urged him to get on board the Wentz Wagon.
No can do, Obama replied.
"I'm a Bears fan," the president admitted in front of a friendly audience.
Good for him. Nothing worse than a pandering pol who bends his sports allegiance, depending on what town he's in.
All the same, we hope Obama's guy get thrashed Monday night.
Go Birds!
