Even the president couldnt distract Courtney Banghart, the teams coach, from the important tournament game. Banghart said she frequently saw Obama during the game because he was sitting right in front of her family. Id be like, Oh my God. Its Barack. But it certainly wasnt my focus, she said. But Banghart said having the president in the stands will certainly go down as a highlight. Even the opposing teams coach had to get it on the Obama action. The president came. Im going to let my guard down for a minute and be excited about that, said Green Bay coach Kevin Borseth. I shook his hand. And I got a picture. A brief chant of Four more years! rose from some spectators during the games second half, drawing a chuckle from Obama. Security was increased due to the presidents presence, with metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs present at the stadiums entrance.
