ESPN says Obama picked Colts; ESPN wrong. (Update: But wait, Obama also picked Saints to win! So, ESPN both wrong and right!)
I am watching the post-game report on ESPN. And I just heard Stuart Scott claim that the “44th president” correctly predicted the winner of the 44th Super Bowl. Sorry Stuart, you’re wrong. Here’s the New York Times article documenting the president’s pick, the Colts.
(Update: Joe in the combox points out that over a week earlier the President had apparently picked the Saints to win as well. So, ESPN is both wrong and right, and the President predicted both correctly and incorrectly. Just like in Neoplatonism, all apparent contradictions dissipate in the being of the One)
Obama picked both teams apparently. How Hillary of him.
Obama picked the Pats over the Giants, so now he picks both teams to keep from being disappointed.
Reading the quote, Obama was rooting for the Saints, not predicting they would victory. Stuart Scott annoys.
Ack! I meant to write “not predicting they would win.”
Maybe it was a joke….. Like him being elected president….
Hard to triangulate a football game- but give him credit for trying.
This guy could tie up a 3 person committee 2-2
Or you could take off your anger glasses and just read both stories in English. He was clearly saying his heart was with the Saints but (in the Times Story) thought the Colts were more likely to win.
I am sorry Frank. Iam not sure Neoplatoism explains it.
I am going with the modified Heisenberg uncertainty principle that when it comes to Barack Obama, his position and momentum on any subject cannot both be determined definitively.
