Obama: This isn't a religious war
At long last, the leader of the free world has weighed in on Deflategate. His reaction? A big shrug, more or less.
"Here's what I know: the Patriots were going to beat the Colts regardless of what the footballs looked like," Mr. Obama said, referring to whether or not the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs to make them easier to throw.
The presidents comments came in a pre-game interview on NBC with Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie. Obama also spoke on the economy, answered questions about getting his agenda through an uncooperative Congress, and played rapid-fire round of either/or with Guthrie (he prefers basketball over football, offense over defense, and chips and guacamole over Buffalo wings).
What surprised him, the president went on to say, was the fact that teams are in charge of their own footballs at all. "I'm assuming one of the things the NFL is going to be doing just to avoid any of these controversies is figuring out how the officials are in charge of the footballs from start to finish," he said.
But Ms. Guthrie pressed him. Was it cheating if the Patriots under-inflated the footballs?
"If you break the rules, then you break the rules," he replied
Obama was also mum on who he was rooting for during the game, or which team he thought would prevail, saying he wouldnt want to alienate a major city by picking a side.
Obamas favorite team, the Chicago Bears, didnt get anywhere near Glendale this year, but the team will play a big part in the Super Bowl thanks to Deflategate: The Bears equipment manager is in charge of both teams game balls, arranging them for the Patriots and Seahawks ball boy crews. The NFL says the practice of hiring a third-party equipment manager for the Super Bowl is typical.

Obama on Deflategate: Patriots would have won 'regardless'
The $4 trillion budget that President Barack Obama sends Congress on Monday proposes higher taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations, and an ambitious $478 billion public works program for highway, bridge and transit upgrades.
The grab-bag of proposals, many recycled from past Obama budgets, already is generating fierce objections from Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress for the first time in his presidency. They will move ahead on their own, mindful they eventually must strike a deal with Obama, whose signature is needed for the budget to become law.
The spending blueprint for the 2016 budget year that begins Oct. 1 emphasizes the same themes as Obama's State of the Union address last month, when he challenged Congress to work with him on narrowing the income gap between the very wealthy and everyone else.
Obama, in an NBC interview before the Super Bowl, disputed a suggestion that he and the Republican-led Congress are so far apart that his budget proposals have no chance of winning approval.
"I think Republicans believe that we should be building our infrastructure," Obama said. "The question is how do we pay for it? That's a negotiation we should have."
The president said he was putting forward good proposals but was willing to listen to ideas presented by Republicans as well.
"My job is not to trim my sails and not tell the American people what we should be doing, pretending somehow we don't need better roads, that we don't need more affordable college," Obama said.
In documents obtained by The Associated Press, Obama lays out the country's first $4 trillion budget $3.999 trillion before rounding with proposed spending supported by $3.5 trillion in revenues.
The projected budget deficit would be $474 billion, slightly higher than the $467 billion forecast by the Congressional Budget Office for 2016. For the budget year that ended Sept. 30, the actual deficit was $483 billion. That was a marked improvement from the $1 trillion-plus deficits during Obama's first years in office, when the country was struggling to emerge from a deep recession.
The CBO sees the deficits rising for the rest of the decade, once again topping $1 trillion by 2025 as spending surges in the government's big benefit programs with the retirement of millions of baby boomers. Obama's budget projects a $687 billion deficit in 2025, though its forecast of economic growth would keep deficits at a manageable percentage of the gross domestic product.
