Obama tells 'Sports Guy' he has another five years in office

By Justin Sink - 03/01/12 11:12 AM ET

President Obama doubled down on his prediction he'll be in the White House another five years during an interview with ESPN's Bill Simmons. 

Obama, in a podcast interview released Thursday by ESPN's Grantland, predicted that the Chicago Bulls — his favorite team — would travel to the White House as world champions sometime while he is president.

Obama was asked by Grantland Editor in Chief Bill Simmons how many times since becoming president he envisioned celebrating a Bulls championship with the team at the White House.

"Every year. And it hasn’t happened yet, but it will happen," Obama said.

Simmons then asked the president if he was guaranteeing a victory for the Chicago NBA franchise.

"Well, I’ve got another five years here, and somewhere along the line my Bulls are going to come through here. Absolutely," Obama said, laughing.
