Seriously, I had never heard the term "Chicago Deep Dish" until I lived in New York. I had been to Chicago many times, and I had eaten pizza there many times. But they never called it Chicago Deep Dish pizza. They just called it pizza.
I'm pretty sure it was named by New Yorkers, as a way of differentiating it from the thinner, foldable style that Obama describes. You can get either style in New York. Not sure, but I'm guessing you can get either style of pizza in Chicago too.
I'd like to add that we're blessed to have so many wonderful Italian restaurants all over the USA, and the most awesome pizza. I've eaten pizza in different areas of Europe - terrible! Thank you, Italian-Americans for teaching us how to make great pizza.
