We can now add Indianapolis’ team to the long list of things Obama has supported that have failed miserably: health care, Chicago Olympics, Creigh Deeds, Jon Corzine, Martha Coakley, et al.

Obama told a pre-game interviewer: “I think the Colts probably have to be favorite, mainly because they have got perhaps the best quarterback in history — Peyton Manning is unbelievable.”

The president did add that he had a “soft spot” for the Saints, however, so as to continue his legacy of being wishy washy and offering all things to all people.
