President Obama reaches across the (baseball) aisle to congratulate the Cubs – SportingNews.com

President Barack Obama does not hide his allegiance to the White Sox. He certainly didn’t on Tuesday night when he saluted Chicago’s other baseball team for winning a playoff series.

Congrats @Cubs – even @whitesox fans are rooting for you!
— President Obama (@POTUS) October 14, 2015

Some White Sox fans might tell the POTUS “Speak for yourself,” but Obama knows which way the winds are blowing in the Windy City right now: at the Cubs’ backs.

Cubs right-hander Trevor Cahill cautioned the president about his new-found admiration for the North Siders.

“As long as he doesn’t tweet that we won the series when there’s still two innings to play,” Cahill said, per MLB.com, referring to the ill-fated tweet by the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during Monday’s Royals-Astros game.
