Sen. Klobuchar watching Super Bowl with the Obamas

[a kennedy]

By Bill Salisbury


Sen. Amy Klobuchar is one of the chosen few members of Congress who will join President Obama Sunday night at the White House to watch the Super Bowl.

"I thought maybe they'd have a big screen," Klobuchar quipped today.

She will attend the party with her husband and daughter. But the Minnesota Democrat and Obama will be cheering for different teams. "Even though the president is going with Pittsburgh, I figured I'd be contrary and go with Arizona," she said.

Why? Arizona is the underdog, and star Cardinal wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is a Minnesota native, she said.

Politico reported Friday the Super Bowl party is one of a wide range of strategies that Obama and his top aides are using to ensure that Congress passes his massive economic stimulus package. Klobuchar will be part of an ideologically diverse group that includes conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.

3. Senator Amy Klobuchar

worked very hard to help elect Presdent Obama. I would think that's why she was invited to the party.

As well, she has been a very good Senator for the State of Minnesota.
