Chicago connections: It should come as no surprise the Chicago Fire Soccer Club will get a VIP White House tour Friday -- before their game Saturday against the D.C. United soccer club. First daughters Sasha and Malia play soccer.

WHOA!!! We should get a gift package for the First family together and see if the team can/will deliver it.. S8C scarves, shirts, jerseys, flags... pics/posters of the Flaring? Any Sector Latino '12' shirts left over? Any chance an S8 rep who is planning on going to the match can make the donation personally along with the squad?

The *ultimate* scarf photo! And we beat last year's MLS Cup Champs, the Crew, as well as DCU to the White House!" I LOVE IT!

Unless I am mistaken, I think we'll also be the first pro sports team to visit the WH, too. Beat the Bears, Sox, Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls!

Moses to Pharoah: "Let my people gooooooooooooooooo."
Blanco to Obama: "Let my people cooooooooooooooome."

Just crown our azzes already! We truly *ARE* America's team!

I am going there, and mrs.giaco has already asked Dick Durbin for some express permission (you have to apply 6 months in advance to go to the white house). We'll see if it works...I mean, she works for the State Police, so hopefully that'll help. If not, we have to see if someone on the team's actua delegation can do it for us. Good club building exercise......support us in what we want to do as we support you in what you do.

You're going Friday? I really hope the team helps us out on this. Our City-specific scarves are way better than the Adidas crap.

1st MLS... C-bust asked to see him back in May, and were told: "Sorry, we just can't find the time to fit you in."

ps: we beat the Cubs!

Maybe Obama wants an autographed Blanco jersey, too. I wonder what kind of deal The Great One will make with him.

A visit to the White House doesn't mean a visit with the Prez....
