While your drinking your beer, watching TV, and collecting your unemployment check, take a few seconds for Japan!

This is avoidance behavior. From Wikipedia:

In psychology, procrastination refers to the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of low-priority, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision.[1] Schraw, Pinard, Wadkins, and Olafson have proposed three criteria for a behavior to be classified as procrastination: it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.

Procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as social disapproval for not meeting responsibilities or commitments. These feelings combined may promote further procrastination. While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological disorder.

This guy sure is conflicted. He tries his hardest to destroy the West, then urges us to support people in other nations that will be severely impacted by the decline of the West.

This guy is five miniature tomatoes, a couple of carrots, and a whole lot of lettuce short of a garden salad.

If we’re being honest, he has destroyed enough lettuce to produce millions of salads. The remaining heads are small, they’re more likely to spoil, and he’s not done yet.

Well, Obama has given this non-sports person a question to ponder - what the H*** is a “bracket?”

FUBO. Most of us don’t give a cold crap about basketball.

Freakin moron. A$$hat. We care that 20 thousand + people just died, and hundreds of thousands are without power in freezing temperatures lacking food and water.

Pull your head out of your a$$ you arab freak.(God is my witness, I despise that cretin)

Predicting college basketball is a national pasttime? Really? My family and our friends must have missed that memo. Our grifter-in-chief is the worst POTUS ever and a lightweight girlyman to boot.

He’s not my favorite president either, but here’s a video of what he actually said.

The Japanese should offer help to America, because, she is being destroyed by a deflated basketball for a Pres__ent.

I don't even know how anyone forms a coherent thought involving basketball and an ongoing nuclear-earthquake-tsunami disaster that has killed tens of thousands of people, and has the potential for killing many more. Basketball is a game--we're talking about the lives of millions of people in Japan affected by disasters.

It will be a relief to get him out of the country for a while. I keep hoping he will decide to stay out of the country.

New meaning to empty suit has been established. It will be often imitated never duplicated.

Seriously, I could care less if he plays basketball, does the NCAA tournament bracket game, plays fantasy football/baseball - whatever.
What rankles me is this clown gets a walk on all the golf, BS’n around, vacations, family vacations etc while if an R were in office even mentioning the tournament at this time would be cause for impeachment proceedings.

And ‘they’ say there is absolutely no bias....

OH yes, IMNSHO he is saying people should help the Japanese to fill out their brackets.....
Another great headline.......

Omigosh. I can’t believe the Big-Eared Evil Stoopid One actually said something this stoopid. If he weren’t so evil, he’d almost be laughable.

What a complete and utter self-obsessed pea-brained fool is this twit in the WH.

Saying this in such a way is a complete insult to Japan. It is ignoring and kicking (what very shortly will be a "formerly") good friend and ally while they are down. This is the ultimate insult to a prostrate, decent, badly suffering people for whom proper manners and "face" mean so much. He might just as well laugh at their predicament and fart in their general direction.

This little turd is simply contemptible. In extension, so are we for electing such a small, wretched little "man" as our President. I fear America will never recover from this revolting windbag and his policies.

“as people are filling out their brackets — this is obviously a national pastime;”

Did he just call an activity that is based in illegal gambling is a “national pastime?”

I haven’t had time to watch any of the games or to fill out a bracket. I guess I am busier on my job than our President...
