Obama Admits He’s a Browns Fan
Friday, May 15th, 2009
President Obama admitted he told a “minor fib” during his run for the White House. In an interview with brownieman.net, Obama confessed that he is a fan of the Cleveland Browns. This contradicts earlier statements he made on the campaign trail that he grew up a Steelers fan. The president said he has learned a lesson from the debacle. “Uh, I consider this a mistake on my part, and I am sitting down with you today to clear the air. While I was campaigning in Western Pennsylvania, uh, I told a few people I was a Steelers fan. That could not be further from the truth. Uh, I was just trying to get votes in a crucial swing state. The sad thing is that those Yinzers actually believed me. Uh, when I was in Green Bay, I said I was a Packers fan, ya know? Come on people, I’m a politician!” Obama said. “Uh, ultimately I have to take responsibility for this lapse in judgment. I, uh, hope the people of Brownie Nation understand. Please know that my heart is in the right place. Uh, I am, and have always been, a Cleveland Browns fan.” This admission, along with the controversial economic stimulus plan, has made for a rocky start to Obama’s presidency.
