Obama and His Bracket:

Time to get away from all that political stuff and take it easy. First off, screw the republicans who had nothing else better to do than to b-t-h about the President filling out brackets on ESPN for the March Madness Tourny. Maybe they are a little jealous because they weren't invited to fill out their own bracket on Sportscenter....maybe ESPN was afraid that the republicans would ruin them like they did to our country for 8 years.
Anyways, enough of my rant. I was pumped that I had the same teams in the final 4 as the President. Mine was out of luck though since I know nothing of college basketball. Both the expert and the rookie (me) did awful with our brackets this year though. So I am down 10 bucks to my friends because of it, I wonder if he put money down?
We did agree on the winner as well. We predicted UNC taking it all. I say this like I know the guy and we're friends, but I am not trying to sound like that...just saying that we have the same picks thats all.
One political aspect other than my rant earlier that I would like to mention. I think it is a great thing that Obama went and did this. I say this because when was the last time we had a president who tried and succeeded to reach out and get the attention of a different source of people? Like me for example. Yeah I saw Bush at a few games over the years...but doing what? sitting there looking stupid right? of course, might as well of stuck a duck-billed platypus up there. Obama took 10 minutes of his time to show the younger crowd that he is human, that he likes sports and likes to partake in things that normal guys who like sports do. Like the Bracket for example. Now this isnt the only reason why I like the guy, but it is definitely a big one. Not that he did the bracket, but the fact that he's reaching out to a younger crowd without being fake about it.

It is very important that the President especially nowadays gets the public approval of a younger generation. It seems that the younger generations are becoming the great minds that are moving this country forward. No offense to the older crowd. Obama should get some credit for doing so, I mean some people could say that he is wasting our time and not concentrating on other important issues. But as you said, it shows that he is human, just another "Joe" that is living his life the way he wants to.
