Just like last season, President Barack Obama is filling out a bracket for the men's tournament. This year though, he'll be submitting his predictions for the women's field, too.

In an ESPN exclusive, President Barack Obama filled out his bracket predictions for the 2010 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments with ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz and ESPN basketball analyst Doris Burke for air on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday, March 17, at noon ET, and Friday, March 19, at 9 a.m., respectively [...]

Said Katz, “After spending a few minutes with President Obama at the White House it was evident he has clearly paid attention to college basketball this season ... [H]e was aware of injuries, star players and key matchups in evaluating the top teams in the field.”

Both of Obama's brackets will be posted online shortly after the segments air, but in the meantime, here are his Final Fours.

Men's: Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova

Women's: Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee

Glad I have only one of them. Ohio State, Syracuse, Kentucky and Baylor are my Final Four.

Kansas is a state that Obummer can’t win in 2012 so the socialist leader is trying to garner points with Kansans.

He supposedly picked Mizzou over Clemson so it's good to see my team ( Clemson ) with a better chance then they had before.

Kansas probably yes, Kentucky yes, but Kansas State and Villanova? The last two I don’t think so, especially Villanova, which has been playing poorly lately.

So much for Obama's claim that he wouldn't rest until the job situation got better.

Good they are showing HIS final four so he can’t adjust the picks like he will probably do AFTER THE SEGMENTS AIR.

Yesterdays results

Butler 63 Kansas State 59

West Virginia 73 Kentucky 66

Just to be fair all his women’s basketball picks are still alive but may or may not yet make it to the final four.
