As World Burns, Obama Tapes NCAA Basketball Brackets For ESPN Today
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 03/15/2011 7:04:38 AM PDT by kristinn

An uncritical one line report in Mike Allen's 'Playbook' column at Politico this morning says:

"PRESIDENT OBAMA is taping his NCAA picks today, and they’ll be revealed tomorrow on ESPN."

With our top Asian ally Japan facing an economic meltdown on top of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant crises--an economic meltdown that is already affecting the U.S. and global economies; with the Middle East in flames; with the U.S. government on the verge of bankruptcy; with the U.S. still involved in two wars, Barack Obama is focused on being the cool guy with the jocks in school by being filmed picking his NCAA men's basketball tournament picks.

IIRC last year he went 0 for 4 in his picks for the final four for men and got 1 or 2 of the final four on the womens side.

Excellent article on the abdication style of 0dumbo, the inept one!

I have told my (extreme liberal dimturd boss) that 0dumbo has never had a regular standard responsible job until he finally became pres___ent of the USA. His very first OJT (on-the-training) began as pres___ent of the USA.

Even his state senate experience & his US Senate 180 days, involved a lack of discipline and absence from his committee jobs. An interesting story I recall is when 0dumbo was habitually late by 20 min to an hour for committee hearings and then would ask questions that had already been covered. In one such committee hearing chaired by Ted Kennedy, 0dumb0 was publicly admonished by Kennedy for showing up late and then trying to ask questions that had already been discussed.

Let me get this straight:

A guy gets elected as the nation's first "black" president . . . can't speak a coherent sentence without reading it off a teleprompter . . . has an oversized wife who lectures Americans about eating their vegetables and staying fit . . . and, in the midst of a historic catastrophe affecting one of our closest allies, he takes the time to play golf and pick winners for the NCAA basketball tournament?

This sounds like the storyline from a Chris Rock movie . . . or maybe a cartoon in a Ku Klux Klan publication.

This man is arrogant and thinks he can get away with anything.

And he will because:

Of course the press is conducting themselves quite differently with him than they did with Bush

The media has to be confronted DAILY by Republicans/Conservatives with spines.

Except for Sarah Palin's Tweets and FOX interviews that throw the Communists into mouth-foaming mode, nobody is publicly going after 0b0z0.

Moreover, the vicious media ignores any anti-0b0z0 comments and certainly edits any interviews that they choose to conduct.

Words fail me. Sometimes the White Hut reminds me of Versailles in 1789.


Me too - many, many parallels.

Frankly, I’d rather he watch basketball than do anything else to mess us up.

What’s it called? Benign neglect?

I hope we last till Nov. 2012.

And just imagine how much time he has spent comparing those teams, watching games, checking out the stats, etc. No wonder he has no time for anything related to work.

I have always said Obama just wanted to be recognized for something - ANYTHING. Whether he was elected president, or if he had been picked king of the carnival - was insignificant, actually. Obama was needy, and those around him used him and his gullible nature. They pumped him up and pulled the strings. He was just happy to be important (in his own mind) to them and their cause.

As all Narcissists, Obama just needs to feel he is very special. He doesn't feel he has to do anything...he just feels he is unquestionably important and everyone should know it. A narcissist rarely works hard , or accepts responsibility. They just crave fame and adoration - not because they actually do anything...just because they exist. It is a mental sickness. He has a deep rooted emotional need to be thought of as unique that is almost insatiable along with a clouded view of reality.

There are so many signs, and so many manifestations of his true narcissistic personality that he is a classic example of the condition. He was an unwanted child, a misfit, and had no real roots anywhere.That left him with a low self-esteem and thin skin for criticism. Narcissism developed to an extreme and became his protection. The guy is a real study for psychologists to review and watch the narcissistic personality in all its dysfunctional glory.

The administration is working on a non-falsifiable “tsunami height prevented” statistic using their “jobs saved” formula as we speak.

Last year, I actually won the office pool for March madness. My system was simple: I just looked at Obama's picks and picked the opposite.

Can I do it again?
