How many AGREED to do this silly shite?
the point is, Obama is willing to do it. Others were not willing.
I think I prefer my presidents to NOT. But, I'm not mad at him or the "media" for it. It is not a big deal.
I despise his dishonest, disingenuous, incompetence. NOT his bracket or coverage of same

I'll buy that he likes and keeps up with basketball. He's been well documented as being a fan. The others are bullshite.

I'm glad he does the bracket. Any time he spends away from governing is good for America.

This youtube video is why there is ZERO video of Clankapotumus on the golf course.

He's a decent basketball player dude, that's the sport he likes. I don't see this as the media doing anything. His bother in law is a major D 1 college coach for Petes sake. Your reaching for reasons now, but why when there's plenty of real reasons to dislike it make fun of him? Is it you're not intellectually independent?
He's extraordinarily un-athletic. Can he like sports and not be able to play them? Sure. But don't act like he's good at any of them.

Yeah he probably does. But the way it's portrayed you'd think he's the first president that liked a single sport.

Does it simply come down to the black basketball stereotype?
Nope it's just part of the fabricated image he along with a favorable media have worked hard to create.

He is fricking horrible playing basketball. Awkward even. Has no athletic skills whatsoever.

I'm surprised CBS was allowed to film that.
Obama is such a nerd.

Obama is a casual sports fan just like the vast majority of Tiger Droppings posters and readers.
Why the need to CONSTANTLY knock the guy about EVERYTHING? "It's because he's black". Come on now.
He played high school basketball. Is known to prefer ESPN over any frou-frou diplomatic reception. Holds Super Bowl and College Football Championship parties. Enjoys golf and tennis. Okay, so hockey isn't his thing. I love hockey, but how many people from Hawaii do?
There is plenty of stuff to knock him about, Obamacare, the economy, this sports thing is just petty.

It is ordinary NOT to be athletic. He is more athletic than the average human when it comes to basketball. He just is.

I think the bracket thing and constant golf playing looks bad for the presidency to be honest
How long does it really take to fill out a bracket? It couldn't have been more than an hour.
Also, How many presidents didn't play golf? It would be odd for a president to not play golf.
If you slamming him for taking to much time away from working, the fact say hes on track to have less vacation days than either Bush, Clinton, or Reagan.

His heavily scripted and carefully handled media appearances, especially the ones linkin' 'im to Main Street, are nauseating. That's one thing I will give GWB. At least when he deigned to talk to us common folk, it felt genuine. Obama looks like he's rehearsed each interaction twice and is mentally walking on egg shells, trying not to say something about guns or bibles.
