Obama asks for another Chicago championship, even the Cubs

Share

The reigning Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks visited the White House on Thursday morning and President Barack Obama had one request during his speech.

"Congratulations on your third title," Obama said with the Blackhawks standing behind him. "It'd be nice to just squeeze one more in there before I leave because then I definitely will take credit for this amazing championship run. I haven't given up hope on the Bulls or the White Sox or the Bears or, heck, I'd even take the Cubs."

Obama is a vocal White Sox fan, but wants at least one more Chicago championship before his second term as president concludes. His pleading for a Chicago team to win, even if it's the Cubs, drew a laugh from the crowd.

Earlier in his speech Obama joked that the Blackhawks had nearly 50 years between Stanley Cup titles and now have three during his presidency.
