BRISTOL, Conn. - Barack Obama picked North Carolina to defeat Louisville for the NCAA championship, a relatively safe selection for a trailblazing president.
SNIP..................................................................
Now, for all the Tar Heels who are watching, I picked you last year you let me down, Obama said. This year, dont embarrass me in front of the nation, all right? Im counting on you. I still got those sneakers you guys gave me.

Oh, the irony in the face of those nice presents he gave the Prime Minister of England, the misspelled button to the Russians, etc.
Please, add to the list of Obama's embarrassments.

As a HUGE Carolina basketball fan, I’m offended by his arrogance.

This a**hat read the prime minister of Ireland’s speech from the teleprompter and did not even realize he was giving the wrong speech. He embarrasses the country daily.

As an NC State fan, I believe that UNC will suffer the curse.

What’s it say about a person when they can’t stand by a decision and they whine about the possible outcome being wrong—for something as trivial as basketball?!

Shouldn’t Obama have better things to do than worry about than his brackets?

This a**hat read the prime minister of Irelands speech from the teleprompter and did not even realize he was giving the wrong speech. He embarrasses the country daily. ...and to compensate, thanked himself for his own generosity. Nothing but humility on that man.
Now, short the Tarheels, they've been jinxed..

No, he’s just trying to be ‘cool’... Hey, Mr. President, the election is over, you don’t need to worry about the ‘youth vote’ any more, now get on with running the country!

But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.But, did Obama read the wrong speech? It doesn't say that.
