Obama Jokes He’ll Skip Campaigning–For a Chicago World Series
While John McCain suspended his campaign last week amid the financial crisis, Barack Obama threatened Thursday to put his on hold for a reason a bit closer to home: A potential all-Chicago World Series between the Cubs and White Sox.
“I think I’m gonna skip the last week of the presidential race if there’s a cross-town series,†Obama joked in an interview on the Mike & Mike in the Morning show on ESPN Radio, as the two hosts laughed in the background. “We’re gonna just be back in Chicago. I’ll tell America: ‘I’m sorry guys, but I’ve got my priorites straight.’ â€
