No Bears in Super Bowl? Then Obama's for Steelers

President Obama likes Cardinals BUT – he’ll be rooting for the Steelers in the Super Bowl.
“You know, I wish the Cardinals the best,” Obama said Thursdday.
“You know, Kurt Warner is a great story, and he's closer to my age than anybody else on the field, but I am a longtime Steelers fan. Mr. Rooney, the owner, was just an extraordinary supporter during the course of the campaign. You know, Franco Harris was campaigning for me in Pittsburgh, so...”
“Coach signed up with you, too,” added Vice Preident Joe Biden.
“Right, Coach Tomlin was a supporter,” said Obama.
“So …I wish the best to the Cardinals. They've been long suffering. It's a great Cinderella story. But other than the Bears, the Steelers are probably the team that's closest to my heart.”
