Mush in Chief? President Pulling for the Saints (Video)

In the weeks leading up to the last three major high-profile statewide elections, President Obama made public pitches for Democrats Creigh Deeds in Virginia, Jon Corzine in New Jersey and Martha Coakley in Massachusetts - each went on to stunning defeats.

This week, the leader of the free world threw himself onto the Who Dat bandwagon.

"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."
