Sox Fan–In-Chief

Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic party converge on Denver to, among other things, unify the group after the drawn out primary season continues to divide Democrats into two camps: those who support Obama and the fans of Hillary.

But Obama apparently has no intentions of trying to similarly unify the fans of Chicago's two baseball teams. If anything, he's still fueling the rivalries when it comes to our national past time.

Asked recently by ESPN about Cubs fans, he replied, "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."

Chicagoist only hopes that his audacious smear campaign against Cubs fans doesn't send North Side voters into the arms of a certain Diamondbacks fan come November. Perhaps they won't hold it against it him if they're still high from the excitement of winning a World Series come election day.

And Sox fans might just be able to live with a World Series at Wrigley if there's a White Sox fan in the White House come January.
