Obama pulls for Saints

Hugging Harold Reynolds wonders if that’s a good thing

Sorry, Saints fans.

“I think both teams are terrific I guess I’m rooting a little bit for the Saints as the underdog. Partly just because, you know, when I think what’s happened in New Orleans over the last several years and how much that team means to them, I’m pretty sympathetic.”
