Obama bracket

[RawdogDX]

Not sure how that's love...he just picked chalk for us. That's expected though, all of his brackets have been chalky. Only two seeds lower than a 10 reaching the second round. I think him putting Florida into the Final Four might be the lowest seed he's ever picked that far.

True, he has historically picked a lot of chalk.  (Half this board was saying you could be in the top 20% of your office pool by picking all chalk.)  I think it's worth noting that he hasn't picked an upset against us in 5 years...  I don't feel like doing the research but that might be wrong.  He may have had Washington.

yeah...good think i pulled my cash out of the market when he won a 2nd term.

By the way, how has the market done since 11/6/2012?

I don't know. It's all funny money anyway. Gold Standard!

This is a joke, right? You would have missed out on a some huge gains.

yeah...didn't know i needed teal for that one.  sitting above 14,500 is a beautiful thing to see.  not that it's all his doing, but it's hard to argue with the results. 

until today i liked the guy...now that he picked IU, it's probably best he doesn't have a 3rd term option, as i couldn't vote for him after that pick. 

don't know if i've mentioned it yet today, but i still think crean is a prick.

Didn't have time to propose a national budget.

Did have time to do his bracket, however.

Priorities.

I am going to assume teal too because he probably spent 15 minutes doing this and then the women's bracket.  You probably posted this at work because its only 4:30 in AZ...

A major correction will be coming.  Markets going well, productivity high, costs have been shed.  GDP at 0.1% last quarter so let's hold off on the hip hip hoorays.

I vomited in my mouth when I saw he picked IU.

'scuse me?

Now that this thread has degenerated into a political pissing contest (shocking, I know)...perhaps it's time to move it to the Superbar.

YES BECAUSE NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING FRIVOLOUS LEAVING SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT UNFINISHED.  EVER!!!  OBAMA IS THE ONLY ONE!!!!

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the House of Rep's the only people who can "propose" a budget?

It has changed throughout history.  As it currently stands the President submits a (dream) budget by Feb 1, and then Congress can do whatever they want.  Except they have failed to adopt any budget for years.

The HoR is the one that can approve spending.

and with that, I'll just be done here.

Hards is right, President by law must submit a budget each year.  Then it is up to the House and the Senate to pass a budget.  Senate hasn't brought one up for vote in 4 years until a few weeks ago.

Teal....I meant to use teal!  I forgot the teal!!

Whoa...this officially wasn't what we wanted....
