Can't lose: Obama backs Rays, Phillies

Barack Obama, campaigning in the key swing state of Florida, is seeking to capitalize on the excitement over the World Series-bound Tampa Bay Rays, telling a Tampa crowd he was “showing some love for the Rays,” several members of which joined him onstage.

Only problem?

Obama, a self-avowed Chicago White Sox fan, declared his allegiance earlier this month for the Rays’ National League opponent in baseball’s championship, the Philadelphia Phillies.

On Oct. 11, Obama told a crowd in the City of Brotherly Love — the biggest city on the key swing state of Pennsylvania: “My White Sox are gone, so I’ll go ahead and root for the Phillies now.

Hmm, this new kind of politics looks and sounds a lot like the old. Just another example of what a charlatan this guy is.

Wow, people actually think this is important when it comes to his politics?? He can choose whatever sports team he decides to follow. Not only that he can change his mind at any time.

His team is not in the running, so what do you do? When the Sens don't make it to the Stanley Cup, I root for another team. I even rooted for the Flyers last time they made it to the finals.

And as for charlatan, most posters here fall into that category.

OMG, so he 'flip-flopped' on a baseball team, what a shyster! The stench of desperation from McCain supporters is rank.

It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands

No, he didn't flip-flop, he just pandered to each audience, telling them what they want to hear. Even if it directly contradicted what he had said earlier, in an effort to get some votes. Now that's Change you can believe in!

Kind of like how rock bands pander to the crowd by wearing the home team shirt.

Reminds you of the time McCain was in one city and said he endured his torture by listing the starting line up of that cities football team, then went to another city and did the same thing except with their team. I forget which cities. but if this outrageous you, how about making up stories about your time as a POW?

For some reason this post and clip from Fox Business reminded of this silly thread.

If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist)

My biggest takeaway from economics is that the past wasn't as good as you remember, the present isn't as bad as you think, and the future will be better than you anticipate. Morgan Housel http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/01/14/things-im-pretty-sure-about.aspx
