Everyone Wants a Piece of Obama
The problem with being a post-partisan politician is that everyone thinks they can sway you (as if "open-minded" meant "malleable").
And it seems that even at sporting events, guys are trying to win Obama over. Take the Wizards for example:
And Antawn isn't the only one...

Obama is from Hawaii and became a Bulls fan while living in Chicago, but none of the Wizards said they had a problem with that.
When asked whether he planned on talking a little trash to Obama for his Bulls allegiance, forward Antawn Jamison vigorously shook his head to indicate no.
"Nah, I'm not going to trash talk the president," Jamison said. "He can do whatever he wants. Maybe we can gradually win him over to our side."
And Antawn isn't the only one...
"Just seeing him out there interacting with everybody was great," Butler said. "We know that he is legitimately a die-hard Bulls fan but hopefully we can convert him a little bit."
