Refreshing

With the announcement by Barack Obama that he will run for the office of President of the United States, we can expect that he will become the meally mouthed, "don't insult anyone" type of politician we see all the time, right?

No chance.

"The Bears are going to the Super Bowl," a gleeful Obama told reporters Monday outside a church in suburban Chicago. "I am happy for New Orleans. I think it's a wonderful story for their city, but this fairy tale ends when they come to Chicago."

How nice to see a guy speak from the heart. I almost wish there was another person from Chicago who wanted to run for president. Say, one who said they grew up a Cub fan but, when politically expedient, claimed to be a "lifelong Yankees fan."

I wish.
