When President Barack Obama wasn't talking about important things like Cuba in his interview this week with Univision, he took time to discuss the very serious topic of Bulls vs. Heat. We'll give you one guess as to what team the former Illinois senator is placing his wager.


Yes, while his birth certificate shows that he was clearly not born in Chicago, the president has a lot of love for his adopted hometown and obviously picked the Bulls.

"Well you know in Chicago you know we have some outstanding Chicago hot dogs, I don't know what kind of food you've got down in Miami," Obama replied when asked about the upcoming series by Univision reporter Mario Andrés Moreno.

What the hell Obama? You've certainly been to enough fundraisers down here to have at least some idea of our food.

"If we lose, I'm gonna bring you here to the White House, a box of Cuban Fritas, you've eaten them on Calle Ocho," replied the reporter.

"I've had those and they're very good...so you've got a bet," the President replied.

The last time the President bet against a Miami basketball team he picked the Sooners to take out the Miami Hurricanes in the NCAA women's tournament, and he turned out to be right. Lets hope his betting streak doesn't continue.
