President Obama has chosen Louisville, North Carolina, Memphis and Pittsburgh in his Final Four bracket.

The hoops fan sat down for a 15-minute interview with ESPN’s Andy Katz this afternoon talking about the NCAA tournament as he filled out his bracket, and divulged his choices. The interview will run Wednesday at noon.

Three of the President’s pick’s are #1 seeds – Memphis being the only one with a #2 seed.

0bama would make a great sports announcer.
He’s got an infectious personality, he reads off a teleprompter well, and he can banter about sports with the best of them.

He is totally cut out for that job.
He’s an incompetent president though, and he’s clearly in the wrong line of work.

It’s stupid. In Obama’s attempt to show he’s a “regular guy” he does what he shouldn’t.

Why potentially irritate supporters of other teams? Duke? Michigan State? It exposes Obama in a negative light to some sports fans, and just isn’t presidential.

Keep it up Obama, and maybe, just maybe you can manage to not be re-elected. Even the MSM has limits.

He asked for a do-over, after messing up his first attempt. It was pointed out that his final four choices were impossible, given the brackets. Probably filled it out from the top down. Apropos, lol.

Let me guess, any of these who fail to make it to final four will have their shoes removed and feet beaten in punishment... an incentive plan Obama calls “getting your Uday on”.

Yes, ESPN is the OBAMA SPORTS APPROVING NETWORK. They rarely go a day without one of their black commentators making a statement about the messiah and his love of the black game of basketball. If every black child in America get up with the same ambitions to be an NBA player and applied that to class work, they would all have PH.D's!! By the way, Obama was writing with his left hand. Positive proof that everything he is and does is LEFTIST!!!

Obama’s presidency to date:

flying around on Air Force One, partying in the White House, discussing the need for college football playoff, filling out his NCAA bracket, reading scripts off his teleprompter written by his puppeteers.

Good thing there aren’t any serious things to worry about.

Perhaps Obambam is onto something. He makes a lousy president, perhaps he should replace Jimmy the Greek.

I’m glad he has time to sit around and watch college basketball. He seems to know a lot about quite a few of the teams.

I wonder if he has to read the teleprompter to make his choices....but this might be the one decision this guy can do all on his own...but I doubt it.
