“Go Cubs, Go, Go, Cubs, Go, Hey Worldwide Whata Ya Say, They’ll Make Their Visit On This Monday!!”

Four days before President Obama leaves the White House, he will host the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs on Monday, January 16th.

According to kwqc.com, Obama extended the invitation to Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon during a congratulatory telephone call in early November as he flew back to Washington, DC aboard Air Force One.

The Cubs won their first championship since 1908 by defeating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings.

Even though Obama is a White Sox fan, he said he was rooting for the Cubs during the World Series. His wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, is a lifelong Cubs fan.
