From the Chicago Tribune:
According to an official White House transcript, (Obama) said:
“This appreciation for diverse views may also come in handy as a die-hard Mets fan serving alongside her new colleague-to-be, Yankees fan Justice [ Sonia] Sotomayor, who I believe has ordered a pinstripe robe for the occasion. (Laughter)”
Very funny, Mr. President.
Obama insists she’s a Mets fan. But those who knew her when she was a University of Chicago professor say she was an avid White Sox fan.
A real Mets fan would be great. Â A fake one (like a certain fake Yankees fan that represented these parts for a while) isn’t necessary. Â As always, just commenting on baseball – take the politics elsewhere.
Obama’s a White Sox fan right? so why would he gloss over that if it was true?
If I was a Mets fan in Chicago, I’d be a White Sox fan too.
