Do people really not know how the government works?

With the House debate raging over the health care bill at the same time the NCAA tournament is in full swing, CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller asked what, exactly, President Obama -- a college basketball fan who filled out a bracket for the second straight year -- is watching.

Replied White House spokesman Robert Gibbs: "Mostly basketball."

After basketball wraps up, Knoller notes, CBS turns to "60 Minutes," which tonight features Katie Couric's interview with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. No word on whether Mr. Obama plans to change the channel. <-------- :wtf:

Seriously there's not a whole lot Obama can do about it until the bill is on his desk... let the man watch some fuckin' basketball like the rest of us!

1. In the same sense, doesn't look like government knows how good PR works...

... just saying.

I personally couldn't care less what he does during the debate, but the more disengaged Obama exhibits seems during an historical event the more ammo the other side has to enrage their followers.

2. "No word" means the newsmodel has not one clue what the Prez is watching, but the idjit needs to....

... fill some airtime.

Why would you even repeat or credit this blather?
