How courageous of him. Picking the #1 seeds. Now I have a reason to cheer for an upset (any upset) for the first time since my college was ranked 500,000:1 in the first round against St. Johns back in 84 or 85.

This suggests that those Insider articles that claimed he couldn’t be pried away from ESPN maybe had some substance to them. No casual fan does this well; a LOT of TV watching is required.

It's sad that the only good thing they can come up with regarding the President's job performance is that his bracket is beating John McCain's.

Loading your Sweet 16 picks with four #1 seeds, four #2 seeds, four #3 seeds, two #4 seeds, and two #5 seeds is not exactly my idea of courage and daring. I got the Spiders going to the final 8.

Bingo. He's been watching a lot of basketball; government initiative is coming from his radical friends--a wacko idea comes up and he pulls himself away from the tube just long enough to approve.

This is hilarious!!!!

The only thing more hilarious is the fact that Obama will refuse to fill this one out.

PS- the first round match up in the man made disaster region of napolitano vs Reno should be must not see tv. I will look for a recap article to tell me who got called on the rug.

Just evidence of how much time he put into making his picks. I guess we know where the laxer focus was aimed.

I call BS on the 99%. Last time I looked, a lot of lower seeds won and his picks were mostly the chalk, across the board.

Pitt — going to the Final Four

One of his final four teams is already out. His bracket is screwed. Don't think he can possibly be in the 99 percentile if they factor total possible points.

It shows he is competent when he is dealing with something he knows about.

Too bad he doesnt know anything about the economy, foreign policy or anything else important to being President.

Thanks. In the matter of Napolitano v. Reno, the answer to your question is “both”.

No kidding. He's 39-9 in picks which is 77%. I have 36 correct picks and I watch golf not basketball!

Obama must have made a call to the refs of the Arizona-Texas game, in the last ten seconds.
