President Barack Obama ‘Mandates’ Close Super Bowl Game

The big game festivities are underway and President Barack Obama is weighing in on who he thinks will win the Super Bowl XLIV.

"Colts have to be favored," he tells CBS news anchor Katie Couric, calling Indianapolis Colts quarterback Payton Manning "unbelievable" and saying he thinks the team has "enormous continuity."

Attempting to remain neutral, the president adds that he has a "soft spot" for the New Orleans Saints and understands how much the team means to the city.
