Let's get serious here. The President is risking some major political capital....
..... by announcing his NCAA brackets on national television....

Obama's NCAA bracket - complete with a presidential seal - will be unveiled on ESPN's Sports Center tomorrow at noon.

Fresh from his interview with POTUS, the sports network's Andy Katz said the one-on-one "was great --couldn't have been better."

Meanwhile, an ESPN crew was carting Obama's giant, kitchen-table sized cardboard bracket down the White House driveway, guarding it like a state secret.

Katz refused to divulge the baller-in-chief's choices. -- Carol E. Lee and Amie Parnes (4:37 p.m.)

This is a VERY risky and unecessary move IMO. What if he proves to be totally inept at office pool strategery? Will he plunge us BACK into another long national nightmare?



Nah, probably not.

4. I think I'm going to use his as a base and then make my modifications
Mostly because I find making the entire bracket on my own to be tedious as I am not a huge basketball fan. So if I'm going to start with someone's then modify it, it might as well be the President's.

3. How can Obama destroy the confidence of America's youth like this?
Can you imagine what the last place team must feel? :cry:
