Obama will watch Super Bowl, wishes Bears playing

FILE - In this Feb. 1, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in Falls Church, Va. Month by month, the U.S. job market is regaining its health. According to reports Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, so many jobs are being added that the unemployment rate has dropped for five straight months. At 8.3 percent, it's at a three-year low. Whether the job market actually feels stronger, though, depends on your perspective. The presidential election is sure to be determined, in part, by how Americans interpret the shifts in the job market. Perhaps no one has more reason to cheer the improving job numbers than Obama. His re-election hopes rest heavily on whether most voters will agree that the economy has improved on his watch. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

(AP) ? The First Fan has only one complaint about Sunday's Super Bowl: his favorite team isn't in it.

President Barack Obama says on Twitter he's "looking forward to catching some of the big game" between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. But he wishes "the Bears weren't watching it from home, too." Obama is a big fan of his hometown Chicago Bears and welcomed the 1985 team to the White House in October to celebrate their NFL title. The '85 Bears never got the traditional White House reception for Super Bowl champs, with the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurring two days after their victory over the New England Patriots.

Sunday's tweet was signed "bo," meaning it came from the president himself.
