Barack Obama has a perfect record since becoming president, going two for two on his picks for the Super Bowl (Pittsburgh) and NCAA basketball championship (North Carolina). Los Angeles fans are hoping his streak continues.

‘The Lakers in six, I think,’ Obama told reporters before getting on a plane Tuesday night to the Middle East.

Sorry, Magic fans. The leader of the free world has spoken.

As Top of the Ticket points out, the 44th president doesn’t seem to care too much for hockey. Then again, he’s pumping billions of dollars into Detroit at the moment ... so maybe he’s pulling for the Red Wings.
