Obama will watch Super Bowl, wishes Bears playing
(AP)

FILE - In this Feb. 1, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in Falls Church, Va. Month by month, the U.S. job market is regaining its health. According to reports Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, so many jobs are being added that the unemployment rate has dropped for five straight months. At 8.3 percent, it's at a three-year low. Whether the job market actually feels stronger, though, depends on your perspective. The presidential election is sure to be determined, in part, by how Americans interpret the shifts in the job market. Perhaps no one has more reason to cheer the improving job numbers than Obama. His re-election hopes rest heavily on whether most voters will agree that the economy has improved on his watch. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)AP – The First Fan has only one complaint about Sunday’s Super Bowl: his favorite team isn’t in it.

(AP)

FILE - In this Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 file photo, people crowd the streets through Super Bowl Village, in Indianapolis. Indianapolis was once called Naptown and India-No-Place for a reason.

This week, as 150,000 visitors descend on a new, vibrant district before Super Bowl Sunday, even cynics agree that the city has successfully shed its image as a bastion of boredom in what was once called “flyover country.” The New England Patriots are scheduled to face the New York Giants in NFL football's Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)AP – Indianapolis was once called Naptown and India-No-Place for a reason.
