DescriptionBut only a debate with Obama, the Democratic candidate, will really let us know what Candidate Ditka is all about.

Let's listen in:

Obama: "I'm particularly concerned about the economy. We have thousands of people in the state of Illinois who are unemployed. Too many good, hard-working citizens are having a difficult time making ends meet."

Ditka: "It's nothing that a good steak at Mike Ditka's Restaurant, 100 E. Chestnut St., wouldn't solve."

(Audience cheers.)

Obama: "I'm not sure what that has to do with the issues, Mr. Ditka. We've got a real problem out there."

Ditka: "Well, it's a lot like the 1985 Bears …"

(Audience cheers louder.)

Obama: "If we could get back to what's important to the voters of Illinois. Now, my idea of leadership … "

Ditka: "Tell me again how many Super Bowls you've won, pal."

(Audience members carry Da Coach out of the room on their shoulders.)
