Obama sees similarities with the Chicago Bulls

Obama campaigned in Detroit Monday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, told a Detroit audience Monday he sees similarities between himself and the Chicago Bulls, during a speech he delivered on the future of the U.S. auto industry in the Motor City.

"I actually can relate to the Bulls," the Democratic presidential candidate said following his remarks where he called for more fuel efficient automobiles. "They're a young team. They've never been there before. Sometimes they're going to make a few mistakes. But I think they've got great promise."

Obama's Chicago Bull's struggled against the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Eastern Conference Final opening game Saturday night, losing by 26 points. The two teams square off again tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
