Barack Obama: Soccer's newest non-playing hero

A flurry of articles examining Obama's relationship with soccer.

David James believes Obama's transformational presidency will be good for the game.

Obama's club of choice, West Ham sends this "We are delighted that Barack Obama has an association with West Ham and are sending him our congratulations and an invitation to attend a match whenever he is in Britain."

Jonathan Spector from Illinois added "From a personal perspective it certainly would be something special to welcome him to West Ham."

From what I have gathered they would also love to be part of the $700 billion bailout.

Obama's daughter Malia plays soccer and he shows up for her matches. He did win the soccer mom demographic convincingly.
