Obama was rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - President Obama called the Superbowl winners the Pittsburgh Steelers after their big win Sunday night, White House officials said Monday. Obama started with the team's owner Dan Rooney. The two developed a rapport after Rooney had given Obama a game ball from the conference championship earlier. The president also called coach Mike Tomlin, and the quarterback "Big Ben" Roethlisberger to congratulate them. He invited everyone to visit the White House. Obama was rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers and threw a bipartisan Superbowl party for the occasion. Filed under: President Obama
