<blowhard over-reaction counter point>
Ironic self deprecation for the university and caddyshack quote (tanks fer nuttin, Danny)
didn't he pick us last year too?
Insert poster saying "in before the lock"
Obama's first round upsets ...
#12 Richmond over #5 Vandy
#11 MU over #6 Xavier
#11 Gonzaga over #6 St. Johns
#10 Michigan State over #7 UCLA
Makes sense politically.
Virginia (Richmond) is a battleground state whereas Tennessee is a safe Republican state.
Wisconsin (MU) is a battle ground state that is more in danger of gong republican than Ohio (Xavier)
Washington (Gonzaga) is a battleground state whereas New York (St. Johns) a safe democrat state.
Michigan (State) is now a battleground state whereas California (UCLA) is safe democrat.
Will Hussein put his winnings toward our national debt?
Who the hell cares!

filling out a bracket takes less time than clearing brush
Obligatory, couldn't-help-myself political statement here.......
Oh S#!t, He picked the Bears over the Pac too in the NFL playoffs! Failed to get the Olympics or the World Cup to the USA. He is the kiss of death for sports. :D
Right wing nonsense.
Left wing nonsense.
you forgot moderate nonsense...
Sadly, we'll never know what Nate Dogg's bracket looked like.

I'll be the first to admit I know very little of politics and like it that way...but the guy is a fraud when it comes to sports. Anything to get a vote I guess.

Seriously... how many people here would pay money to see Obama and Rick Ankiel in a snowball fight?
obama was the kid in school who wore sandals and socks because his mom made him.
I would prefer he liked fixing the economy.

Throws like a girl, calls it ComiNsky Park, cannot name one player.....also says he is a south side kid and then goes on to say "I grew up in Hawaii and I was an A's fan". What a faker.
So if he knows about sports than he's spending too much time on sports and is a jerk. If he doesn't spend nearly as much time watching sports and doesn't have stupid amounts of knowledge than he is a jerk.
What douches.

same guy that repeatedly pronounced corps as "corpse", as in Army Corpse of Engineers. He know nothing.
If Hussein wants to spend his time picking things from a sheet, he should go pick a few of his gluttonous welfare programs and enter them in the loser column next to Xavier and Belmont.
Hussein is expected to add more to the national debt than all our previous presidents combined, Washington to G.W. :o

It would be wonderful for people to maybe offer a little help to the Japanese people at this time -- as they're filling out their brackets

No, but don't act like you love sports and make an a$$ out of yourself when asked a very simple question.
I recall he picked us over washington...what about the year before? It says he is 1-1, making this his third bracket.

::) You may have spent 4 without ever making an @$$ of yourself.
I don't know if i've ever gone 4 days...
4 number 1 seeds in the final four...
Obama no tienes cojones.

He always goes chalk, but this is definitely the most blatant one. In three years he's picked three 2-seeds to make the Final Four. He's never picked anyone other than a 1-seed to make the final game. Though I don't think his brackets have anything to do with actually making picks but are all a case of just being politically correct. If you go chalk, no one gets mad at you.

Don't blame BO for the final four slections. He didn't pick his own brackets. He has, after all, a "czar" for that. ::)
This is why we can't have nice things
He always picked chalk in the Nigerian soccer games!

LOL. Don't know if you notice the critical point we hit this past month, first time in US history.
