Monday Night Football and Senator Barack Obama

Since I moved to Illinois, I started to follow the American football with some curiosity. First with some curiosity, then with some participation, and at the end with surprising involvement. I got to know football because of my friend Dan who introduced me to the pleasure of Monday Night Footbal (MNF) with buffalo wings and beer. Now he is in North Carolina working for GE, but surprisingly I'm still following football. I even started cheering for the Illinois team Chicago Bears. Exactly when I was watching one this MNF game the Illinois senator Barack Obama appeared on TV. He is a very popular senator from Illinois and not few people think he will be the next American president. Anyway, when he apperead on TV I was thinking the worst things. When in Italy an high level politician appears on TV it is just because either is the new years eve either some bad stuff happened. Since it was not new year eve but a normal Monday Night Footbal I was prepared to the worst thing...shocked and with eyes wide open, this is what I was about to see..
