For the fourth consecutive year, ESPN sent its bracket guru Andy Katz to the White House to get President Obama’s pick for the NCAA TournamWHY’S HE PICKIN BASKETBALL GAMES WHEN WURR AT WAR?! After picking Kansas for the past two years, Obama picked North Carolina to win it alBUT THE ‘CONOMY IS IN THE DUMPS WHY DON’T HE FIX THAT?1 He also picked the Tar Heels in 2009, when they won the tournament with strong play from point guard Ty Lawson and All-American power forward Tyler HansbroWHY CAN’T HE LIKE A AMURRRICAN SPORT LIKE BASEBALL OR FOOTBALL AND NOT ONE FULLA SHOWBOATIN’ THUGS WHO DONN EVEN STAY IN SCHOOL?! His analysis was pretty sound, pointing out that North Carolina has more veteran leadership than the other heavy favorite, Kentucky, who is relying on a roster full of freshman and sophomores, including top NBA prospect Anthony DavOH I BET HE PICKED NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE SOME OF HIS ***HOMEBOYS*** ARE ON THE TEAM. HE SHUDDA PICKED A GOOD HARD-WORKIN’ SCHOOL LIKE INDIANA OR WISCONSIN!
He also got to give a shout out to Harvard, the Ivy League’s representative in the tournament, and where he went to to law schWHY AREN’T THERE ANY MILITARY SCHOOLS IN THE TOURNAMENT? SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! I think we can all agree this is a fun little exercise, and certainly not anything to get upset ovAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH SOSHALISM!
I hate politics.

Amen. Why does everything have to be political?? I’d have no problem if Bush had done this, except he was too busy plotting the 9/11 attacks.
mmmmm… that’s good trolling.
You mean the attacks that were planned and implemented while Clinton was getting BJ’s from fat chicks?
Joel gets it
You better believe that Boyd Crowder is a Kentucky man. Good enough for me.
Barack Obama doesn’t care about the Mid-American Conference.
What’s sad is that you didn’t even need to make comments like that up. [rivals.yahoo.com]
I’m a Tar Heel born, and a Tar Heel bred
And when they get knocked out early I won’t win the office pool
Picking UNC to win it all is the kind of bold, innovative leadership this guy promised you stoned suckers back in ’08. Now that you’re out of school and can’t find a job, how’s that working out for ya? (Annoying Palin accent inadvertent, but what the hell, it stays.)
Yeah I wish we had McCain and Palin in there. I’d have so many jobs.
Well done. You might have added in a line about teleprompters and vacation days — because Obama is the first president to use either, you know? — but that was a pretty solid mimicking of dumbshittery.
And no, I’m not clicking on that Yahoo link. I’m sure it’s full of … well, yahoos.
You still trying to defend this moron?
I guess the stupid have to stick together
Hell, I don’t mind if he picks brackets. I want him to pick brackets* — I’d just
be a lot more impressed if he showed some of the admirable cojones he’s shown in killing traitorous Americans overseas without a trial. And frankly, he can take all the vacation days he wants, starting as soon as possible. Costs less money to have him golfing than to have him creating new laws without the legislative branch’s input.
*Picking brackets is another step on his important path to becoming an American, like Apu wearing a NYMets hat.
I just hope whatever bizarre curse of underachieving he has been transmitting to KU these past two years moves on to the fucking Tar Hills (sorry Patty)
I’m just glad Obama and I have something in common. We both hate NASCAR.
I just think it’s funny that three of his Final Four picks are from battleground states. And I only find that funny because one of them is the Buckeyes. Fuck tOSU.
The media finally talks about what Obamaa has done lately, and it’s his NCAA picks. Well, with the price of gas, the number of unemployed and food stamp recipients, sky rocketing debt, etc, it’s no wonder.
You think if this guy was an eighth as good as his followers think he is, he would be able to campaign on his record. Oh wait, he didn’t do that the first time, he won’t do it this time.
Play the race card and vote present you moron
Obama should be personally lowering the price of oil. Because that is very possible for the President of the United States to do.
