President Obama gives Carson Wentz a shoutout in Philly

President Barack Obama is in Philadelphia this afternoon at a campaign rally for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and he went right into the sports talk.

"Some of you may have seen Joe Biden at the Eagles game," President Obama said. "He told me, 'Barack, you gotta get on the Wentz Wagon. We got a new quarterback. We got hope in Philly.'"

So did the Chicago sports fan give in to the Veep? Not exactly. Obama is a real sports fan.

"I am a Bears fan," he said. "We play Philly next Monday night. So I got to stick with my team but I am going to scout out what all the fuss is about."

As you'd expect, the "I am a Bears fan" line was received with a healthy share of Philly boos.

And here's a photo of a better sports fan from this Sunday:
