Miami: The last time the Cubs won the World Series in 1908, sliced bread literally had not been invented -- a fact not lost on President Barack Obama, who calls Chicago home. “I was watching on television -- they explained the last time the Cubs had won, Thomas Edison was alive and they hadn’t invented sliced bread yet.
“So you know the expression ‘the greatest thing since sliced bread’? This is actually for Cubs fans the greatest thing since sliced bread,” Obama said.
