God! I miss days like this! Where the news is about Cubs win, celebrated by a president who's adored.

Made my cry - so happy for them

It almost brings me to tears; seeing a man who brought honor--------dignity-------intelligence--------steadfastness-----& pride, to The Presidency. ------------seeing him then-------& what we have today, is just so overwhelmingly sad. ---------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

Proud moment for the the city of Chicago all around

It makes me so happy that the Cubs won while this good man was president.

Sad thing is, we’ll never see Trump give a heart felt speech like this. You think he even knows who Ron Santo is? No way. It meant a lot coming from Obama because he knows Chicago, and how much that championship meant to us Cubs fans. It really is more than just sport, and Obama actually understood that. I’ll remember watching the Cubs win the world series with my father until the day I die.

Great Speech by Obama. People can say what they want about Obama but he definitely has a great sense of humor

We miss you Obama and we miss the 2016 cubs.

Glad the Chicago Cubs got to meet the President....... _while they still have a chance._

Admit it, even if you're a Trump supporter, it's much, much better to have the cubbies go to Obama to highlight and congratulate them on his way out. Obama, a fellow Chicagoan, Sox fan, using his witty humor and admiral oratory skills to really truly emphasize the historical victory. Much better than hearing "You guys did great. Real winners. Great job. Keep winning. Made a lot of Americans very proud. Proud."

Wow! What a difference an intelligent president make....those were the days...

Nostalgia for the days when the POTUS stood for dignity, decency, loyalty and wit...

Rizzo has the most adorable smile!❤️

GO CUBS GO! GO CUBS GO! HEY CHICAGO WHAT DO YOU SAY, THE CUBS ARE GONNA WIN TODAY!

I Ramon Mendoza has been a die hard cubs fan since 1967 and was overwhelmed with our 2016 world series chanpion Chicago Cubs and very happy cubs won during my lifetime.

update to Steve Goodman's "last wish" By the shores of Cleveland's Lake Erie when November's winds were blowing so cold eternal Cub fans were watching In that midnight hour that tolled within pearly gates, old Cub fans had gathered They knew time was running short And on their halos they put their bright blue caps From their all-time favorite sport Steve told them, "Its extra innings and getting late down there And I know its time, go Cubs go But before they leave that field Guys, there's just one thing I'd like to know............ will they still play the blues in Chicago When next baseball season rolls around? When the snow melts away, Will the Cubbies then play as champs in their splendid grounds? For all of my life they were my pride and joy But then they only bring fatigue To the home of the brave we're free at last to exclaim Cubs are the champs of the Major Leagues"

I'm glad the president was able to kinda break character for a while and just be a sports fan.

Never having been an Obama fan, I think that this President is going out in style. How happy and thrilled he and Michelle have caused so many people to be. We, as loyal Americans, should all honor and support them, his mother-in-law, and Pres. Obama's and First Lady Michelle's two lovely daughters. After all, we are all citizens of the United States of America, are we not? by Fancy Nancy 1929 Jan 16th, 2017 - at 3:10 p.m.

Forever love my Cubbies! ❤️❤️ Engraved in my heart forever

As a huge Cubs fan i am glad they could get this visit in before Obama left office. Was so happy to see this.

Makes me sad that my Caps cant get there soon enough to meet this President... would’ve been awesome if they did it 2 years sooner... still the best sports thing ever happened in my life but yeah....

I miss Obama so much!

Great job Pres

Rizzo was sweating so much

I remember watching the Cubs win in 2016 I was watching it on TV with my mom I tell you this is something we're going to be telling our children our grandchildren it will be told for as long as humans are on this planet years decades will be telling this one thing I found interesting is President Obama was not a Cubs fan he was a Sox fan and the fact that he brought a team that he wasn't interested in to do that it's incredible I actually think someday someone will make a movie and call it the Chicago Cubs a win in the making.

the president of the United States just said "Shaggin' Wagon" hahaha

❤

Contreras didn’t look like the happiest person when he said the young talent of Javy and Russel and left him out. Lol 😂 the good old days

This was wholesome.

The Cubs also met Obama not Trump which makes this even sweeter

so glad this was Baraka flocka giving the speech and not the guy we have now!

Great president, great team 😂

This POTUS, is such a Well Spoken Man. With out a doubt, one of the Best, to Ever inhabit the White House.

Go Cubs go

Awesome. Go CUBS. lol lol lol ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️

those were the days when we had a real president and didn't live in chaos from one day to the next

Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings son is a darling. We offer banking reconciliation with the Cubs for the Mrs. Obama, our radiant First Lady. Civil rights for the Cubs was amazing to lotus for.

Trump: When I invited the Cubs to the White House, they showed up in record numbers. There were 500,000 Cubs at my White House invitation, way more than Obama's.

I see a lot of Trump comments. And well deserving. Then Trump brings my beloved cubs back to WH just to one up Obama. Weird!!! Really wierd. Like Trump had something to do with it.and I hope Cubs fans didn't fall for that bs. No Theo Epstein and Maddon did it and the mental and physical talent of the cub players. Still get emotional watching the 2016 highlights.

I miss those days. A president that doesn't sound like a delusional facebook post all the time.

it's gonna be a show watching trump do this

Hes a Sox fan...

his favorite team

Midnight Pardon my Ass!!

Trump got one from rickets

successor no chance!

why didn't jake. or lackey or lester show up that is very disrespectful no excuse the team had 3 month notice

People are all like Trump is a better president, but i don't remember players not going to the White House when Obama was president.

He’s a sox fan

Where's Kawasaki?

you should've invited the 2005 white sox in 2015

Not an Obama voter..voted for Trump ..but enjoyed this ..best Obama speech ever:-)

I find it disrespectful that he left out one of the greatest Cubs of all time....Sammy Sosa. #2016WorldSeriesChampions

Does Obama like the Chicago Cubs?

I bet the cubs were bored standing in the background

Too bad when the Blackhawks win the Stanley cup in 2K17 they either get to see Trump, or go to Obama's house.

I cringed when she said "MLB champions"

The frightened frightening full fumbling functional barometer regionally carry because bra latterly trot forenenst a loutish rainstorm. bite-sized, verdant segment

Why is Dexter there didn't he just betray us?

I wonder if Obama knew about those emails.

you nevered invited the white sox

instead of #44 it should have been #22 trillion

Uugh wtf?? A married couple supporting different Chicago teams? That marriage is gonna tank.

Red Sox breaking their curse was the better story

What did OBOMBER do for CHICAGO?

40 times this egomaniac President said his own name. 3 Days.....out at the plate!

The Champs and the Chump.

40 times this egomaniac President said his own name. Hes as much a Sox fan as Im a Cub fan. 3 Days and Counting

The arrogant one is finally leaving.

No mention of Sammy Sosa and Jack Brickhouse. How ignorant! President Trump would have done million times better!!!!!!!!!!!

Man he went out with a real bang, what a great way to end a presidency just on such a perfect, high note

How ever you feel about policy, this man is a good person. Can you even imagine Trump doing this? It would all be rhetoric about the wall and other junk. Oh, and fast food buffet.
