Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't thrilled his team got snubbed by the leader of the free world. "Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on Wednesday. Related: Obama's Final Four picks revealed The president filled out his NCAA bracket for ESPN on Tuesday, and the Blue Devils weren't among his Final 4 picks. Instead, he has Coach K's squad falling to Pittsburgh in the Elite 8. Obama's pick to win the Big Dance? Duke's archrival, the University of North Carolina.

There goes the Duke faculty vote.
Yep good point. A President should never express favoritism in sports. He did it for the Super Bowl and World Series before the election IIRC. What a tool!
First thing I have agreed with the ass hat on.
I also heard he went with OU in the NC game
j/k
Florida turned blue last time around anyway....must have been those ‘Noles!
I hate Duke and Coach K irritates me, but I suspect he is a Republican.
I don’t care if Obama has a pick but betting three trillion dollars of tax-payer money pisses me off.
You’re not in my final four either Coach K.
Good to see that president-NULL fixed all of our problems so fast that it hasn't reached the Obama Fan Club (formerly known as the Independent [don't laugh] Media)....
Coach K. West Point grad. Bush supporter.
Here is an unofficial list of the good guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pitchka/Republican_Celebrities_Page
Obama is incompetent when it comes to addressing our country’s real issues, so he pimps himself for meaningless trivia.
and the dumb public loves it
Now that the HONEYMOON is over, who would want to believe his pics anyway?
I’ve got to say, as a long time DUKE FAN: I agree!
He’s lost more than that; he’s lost a lot of North Carolinians (of which I am a former)!
Bookmark for morning...
Gonna LOVE bashing the lib idiots with this!
Not a good move by Coach K. He’s going to be inside the homes of a lot of bl-, uh, Af-, uh, Obama voters trying to recruit players for his basketball dynasty and some won’t like that he dissed the head bl-, uh, Af-, uh, baller-in-chief.
K’s right, of course, but in our political climate you can’t say anything critical of bl-, uh, Af-, uh, Obama voters without having the r-word thrown back in your face. I think that’s now an Executive Order from Obama that you can’t criticize bl-, uh, Af-, uh, Obama voters without being assumed to be a r-word.
I disagree that he should spend more time on the economy (in your title) He should spend ALL of his time picking basketball teams and leave the running of this country to real conservatives.
