Barack Obama jokes about not wanting to host Packers at White House

In October of 2011, then-President Barack Obama invited the 1985 Super Bowl-winning Chicago Bears to the White House for a visit.

The '85 Bears trip to the White House was canceled due to the Challenger space shuttle tragedy. So, Obama invited them during his tenure in the White House.

But, the Packers visited the White House months before the Bears for their Super Bowl win in 2011. Did Obama invite the Bears in spite of the Packers' visit?

"It was hard having the Packers and having to be nice to them," Obama said on the Manningcast.
