As World Burns, Obama Tapes NCAA Basketball Brackets For ESPN Today
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 03/15/2011 7:04:38 AM PDT by kristinn

An uncritical one line report in Mike Allen's 'Playbook' column at Politico this morning says:

"PRESIDENT OBAMA is taping his NCAA picks today, and they’ll be revealed tomorrow on ESPN."

With our top Asian ally Japan facing an economic meltdown on top of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant crises--an economic meltdown that is already affecting the U.S. and global economies; with the Middle East in flames; with the U.S. government on the verge of bankruptcy; with the U.S. still involved in two wars, Barack Obama is focused on being the cool guy with the jocks in school by being filmed picking his NCAA men's basketball tournament picks.

This guy is the majorette at the beginning of the circus parade...IMO, he is capable of being the guy in the back with a shovel and broom.

This guy obamma sees his presidency as a way to enjoy himself.

That is why I am convinced he only wants one term. Why should he want to work for eight years for 400K a year when he can work 4 years for 400K for the rest of his life. He will already go down in History as the first “African American” President so he does not need to worry about legacy. History often improves a President’s action overtime anyway. He just needs to figure out a way to bow out gracefully.

Give the guy a break. He made “the rise of the oceans slow and the planet begin to heal”, didn’t he? He’s entitled to some down time.

How...sick. With all that needs his attention, Obama spends his time golfing, televising his NCAA pics, and hosting parties for Black History Month.

I have liberal family coming for a visit in a few weeks. Keeping my mouth shut over his outrageous behavior is going to be very difficult.

Forget it....money is not the issue with Obama. He wants another term badly....his EGO demands it !

Let’s hope he does not get it.

The difference here my friend is that the mediaPUKES are standing with the SOB enemy in the WH and not with the people of this country. The media at that time had a lot to do with bring on a revolution in that country!

he is also getting his daily briefing a half-hour later, as 10:00 am today. 10:00 in the morning for the most important briefing?

This man is arrogant and thinks he can get away with anything. It’s sure all out there on display how he’s handling himself through this and it’s revolting. Of course the press is conducting themselves quite differently with him than they did with Bush and that is all there for the people to take in. The question is how much the people will take. He is no damn good as President and a person.

EVERYTHING is above his “pay grade”. He retains the mind of a teenager while trying to look ‘cool’ for all his “brother’s”.,

NARCISSISTS do not mature beyond teen years! FACT!

ESPN has a love fest for Obama. His stinking face is on there more than the news channels. They play footage of every sporting event he attends, every NBA gangsta game he talks about, sees, goes too. When I see his face I changed the channel. I am about as sick of Obama, LeeBronze, Kobbie the whinie, as I am the flu. In fact, I’d rather have the flu than look at them. I have almost quit watching sports center. When I do, I mute it, then just watch the scroller going across the bottom to see the info without having to listen to the crap.

ESPN is running neck and neck with MSNBC in determining which network loves Obama the most. ESPN has really gone hard left in the last 10 years.

A great tournament would be between the print media, the networks,and internet blogs on who loves Obama most.

My TOP seeds: MSNBC, Democrat Underground, Washington Post and Time Magazine.

Obama need a distraction from the burdens of his office so he can rest up for his trip to Rio.
