WestVirginiaRebel Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 NBC Chicago:President Barack Obama isn't afraid to show a little hometown pride, especially when it comes to sports.On Wednesday night, Obama will continue that tradition while watching the Bulls-Bobcats game at a viewing party at the White House.And this is just the latest event Obama is dedicating to his Chicago teams.At 2 p.m. Friday at the White House, Obama will honor the Blackhawks for their 2009-2010 Stanley Cup victory.

Obama threw out the first pitch wearing a black White Sox training jacket. The toss cleared the plate, with a little help from St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols.Earlier this year, Obama predicted a win for the Bears in their post-season game against the Green Bay Packers.His team didn't win -- but it's the thought that counts, right?________Dribbling while the Middle East burns?
