President Barack Obama has made it known he is a Chicago White Sox fan, but as a true Chicagoan, he can't help but support the Chicago Cubs during their exciting playoff run.
After finishing in third place in the National League Central, the Cubs have beaten the two teams that finished ahead of them in the divisionโthe Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinalsโin back-to-back rounds. Chicago advanced to the NL Championship Series with a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals in Game 4 of the NL Division Series on Tuesday night, leading President Obama to congratulate the team from the North Side:

You may recall that President Obama chose not to follow the Cubs when he first joined Twitter earlier this year. However, he has since started following the club. Now, not only is Mr. President a follower, but he's a bit of a supporterโfor the time being, at least.
