President Obama's 2011 NCAA Brackets
Posted by Jesse Lee on March 16, 2011 at 12:20 PM EDT
As he does every year, the President filled out his brackets predicting the winners of the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments, but discussing it with Doris Burke of ESPN, he began with a call to stand with the people of Japan:
One of the things I wanted to do on the show was, as people are filling out their brackets -- this is obviously a national pastime; we all have a great time, it’s a great diversion. But I know a lot of people are thinking how can they help the Japanese people during this time of need. If you go to usaid.gov -- usaid.gov -- that will list all the nonprofits, the charities that are helping out there. 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. It’s not going to take a lot of time. That's usaid.gov. It could be really helpful.

This guy is beneath contempt!
I'm not filling out any brackets, Zero...I'm not even watching your damn tournament.
I may be one of those ignorant people Zero hates, but I’ve never filled out any brackets much less considered doing so a ‘national pasttime’. In fact, I have no idea what a bracket even is. I feel somehow deprived of a national pasttime; maybe I’ll go golfing instead - that should cheer me up, right?.
Indeed.
That is a GREAT LINK! Thank you!
It’s unintelligible to me, too. Something to do with a sport?
I am mortified by this idiot!!!! I could scream!
This is all he says about what is going on in Japan?????
And where are all the celebrities coming on t.v. asking for donations and having concerts like they did for Haiti???
Disgusting!
Lord forgive me for hating this man as much as I do. On Judgment Day, please pass over this hate...with the understanding evil has been leading his heart and soul (if he even has one).
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?”
I hate "thug ball" as another Freeper above called it and have no idea what a "bracket" is either. The fact that he thinks it is a national pastime shows how out of touch he is with real Americans. My favorite pastime is reloading.
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)
He treats all infidels that way.
Oh my, THAT is gonna hurt in the election cycle. Because just damn, its sickeningly true.
LOL!!
“Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribblin’
In fac’, I was de baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood
Then one day, my mama bought me a basketball”
