Is it me, or are people slightly perplexed with seeing President Obama a little too often on PTI or ESPN making picks, inviting teams and athletes to the Big House and filling in brackets? Not so long ago he took in a Broadway show and a dinner and everyone acted as if a hip, cool couple were blowing off steam.

Hey, it’s all good to me. A man and his gal have got to live. Moreover, I love joining pools and making predictions just as much as the next guy. Although this may be presumptuous since I don’t know who the “next guy” is. For all I know he may prefer baking Pillsbury crescent rolls. I digress.

But seriously, we keep hearing how the world is about to end either through the economy and/or the environment and the President is taking in a show and filling out NCAA brackets?

It is what it is.

Just don’t try and make Obama sound like a genius because he predicted the Steelers and North Carolina to win. So did a million other sports junkie nutcases. I, myself won two pools doing the exact same thing - and I ain’t no genius. Fuck I hate sports commentators who constantly toot their own horn. “I successfully predicted last year that…” Shut up, douchetard.

We get it. He wants to shoot hoops and fix the BCS. He’s a sports fan, like Bush and many past Presidents, but it’s time he focuses on what he, and every politician, does best: Intervening in places governments shouldn’t be intervening and making a mess of things.

Speaking of Bush, imagine the howls of discontent if he spent as much time on sports!

Just a thought.
