Obama leads in March Madness picks
Yes, fluffy news. But fluff has its place. :D


Obama leads in March Madness picks
By Michael O'Brien and Cristina Marcos - 03/21/11 06:57 AM ET


President Obama's probably hoping he put some money on his March Madness picks, if he hasn't already.

After a weekend's worth of basketball, the president's picks are among the most prescient, after two rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Obama's picks rank at the 99th percentile on ESPN.com, and he leads a pool including his bracket and the picks of other members of Congress whose brackets were collected by The Hill.

But who cares like Obama has said it is not enough.

BTW- It is not that he is not trying he needs Congress to get off their ass & fall inline behind his policies...Which are the only forward looking industry creating job producing policies anyone has offered up.

BTW- Obama should not be allowed to take 10 minutes & play a harmless sports game? The guy is human & everyone needs some type of release ever once in while.

7. People are having a big issue with him filling out a March Madness bracket!
I wish the people who have an issue with this realize that this man wakes up every morning and is briefed on domestic and internantional issues. He has meetings all day, on a wide range of topics. From what I understand, he is extremely knowledgeable on every topic of every meeting he sits in. At night, he will eat dinner with his ladies. Put the younger ones to bed, then head back to the oval office for more work! This man takes a few minutes out of his day to fill out a bracket, and all people can do is criticize him? I just don't get!
