this is pretty cool:

Barack Obama is no Packers fan, even in G.B.

by John McCormick

GREEN BAY, Wis. – In political theater, it was as predictable as the
sun coming up -- an equally predictable analogy.

Within two minutes of taking the stage here this evening at the Kress
Center arena, Sen. Barack Obama (of Chicago) made a Bears-Packers
joke, as he made note of Green Bay Packer Brady Poppinga in the
audience as a supporter.

"It is hard for a Packer to support a Bears fan," the Illinois
Democrat said, triggering some boos. "But you would not want some guy
to come up here and say he was a Packers fan, when he's a Bear's
fan….You gotta stick with your team, even when they don't break 500,
even when they don't make the playoffs, even when they make you tear
your hair out."
