Actually, I find it refreshing that Obama makes it known he has a favorite team (regardless of the sport). To me, it makes President Obama seem more down to earth. Maybe that is why he does it, who knows.
Seems kind of phony when politicians try to fake not having a favorite team.. For example, President Bush (The Younger) used to be part owner of the Texas Rangers. I would find it hard to believe he was not a fan of the team, but, as far as I know, he never made it known during his presidency.
