WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says hed be pretty aggravated if he were a Detroit Lions fan after the team lost an NFL playoff game to the Dallas Cowboys after a disputed penalty call.But since hes a long-suffering fan of his hometown Chicago Bears, Obama says he cant have too much sympathy for the Lions. The Bears had a losing season and missed the playoffs.Obama told The Detroit News in an interview Tuesday that he couldnt remember a case in which a referees good call was reversed without explanation.Detroit was ahead 20-17 midway through the fourth quarter of Sundays game when a referee flagged the Cowboys for pass interference. But officials rescinded the call moments later, leaving the Lions facing fourth-and-1. Detroit punted, and Dallas then drove to the winning touchdown for a 24-20 final score.Obama said he watched the game and told the newspaper that he couldnt remember a circumstance in which a good call by one of the refs is argued about by an opposing player of the other team with his helmet off on the field, which in and of itself is supposed to be a penalty. The call is announced and then reversed without explanation. I havent seen that before. So I will leave it up to the experts to make the judgment as to why that happened, but I can tell you if I was a Lions fan Id be pretty aggravated.Obama was interviewed before his scheduled visit to the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, on Wednesday to tout a resurgent U.S. auto industry following the federal bailout.In the interview, the president also lamented the poor performance of his hometown Bears.Given the performance of my Bears, I cant have too much sympathy for the Lions, Obama said.
