EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - When the New York Giants visited the White House in June in the heart of the political campaign, coach Tom Coughlin said the Super Bowl champions shared a goal with President Barack Obama - repeating.

Obama did his part Tuesday, defeating Mitt Romney to claim a second-term.

Coughlin was initially reluctant to comment on the result Wednesday.

``Here we go,'' Coughlin said. ``I'm not a politician.''

Just as quickly, though, he responded.

``He's there. We need to get there,'' the smiling coach said.

After Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon noted Obama completed half the equation, Coughlin walked out of a news conference to preview the game between the Giants (6-3) and Bengals (3-5) Sunday saying:

``He didn't call me right away by the way,'' Coughlin joked.
