President Obama hints at who he wants to win the World Series while on the Tonight Show

President Obama made a stop on the campaign trail yesterday in Los Angeles to appear on The Tonight Show. While most of the conversation revolved around the campaign, Leno did ask the president who he wants to win the World Series.

I know what you're expecting. There is no way Obama would ever pick a favorite between two teams. Why potentially anger an entire fan base when you're running for re-election?

In truth though, while Obama didn't flat out say he was rooting for the Tigers, he did hint at it.

Right after praising both the Giants and the Tigers, Obama said "I will say that I've spent a lot of time in Detroit lately ... So in this particular World Series, I may be a little partial."
