Super Bowl 2012 Predictions: President Obama Refuses to Pick Giants or Patriots

President Obama has a lot on his plate right now. However, one thing he's going to avoid this year is seeing his Super Bowl prediction come to fruition.

While nearly everybody has a preference or at least a pick in Super Bowl XLVI, the President of the United States has elected not to back either side.

In an ABC exclusive he said:

"

"I can’t call it. I can’t call it,” Obama told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview. “When the [Chicago] Bears are not involved, I can’t make predictions because I will get into trouble. But both are great teams. Brady obviously one of the best quarterbacks we’ve ever seen. Eli Manning playing as well as he’s ever played, and it’s going to be a fun Super Bowl."

"

We all know President Obama is up on the latest sport happenings. Only two years ago, he backed the eventual Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts.

This year, he's essentially pleading the fifth as two of the NFL's most well-known and well-respected franchises take the field against one another for the second time in four years.

Obama's fear of making predictions is not without justifiable reason. Going against all of New England or against America's most populated city doesn't bode well for him regardless of the outcome.

The Super Bowl will be played with or without Obama's prediction. Fortunately we all have that going for us.
