I wonder if he will screw up the spelling of Syracuse like last year.
F'ing moron POFS. Fuck you whoever voted for this and still supports this admn and still plans on voting for him in 2012. You are as dumb, ignorant, uneducated, and stupid as he is.
-
Have you idiots no shame who still shill for this asshole admn?
Honestly? Is your white guilt, racist black pride, devotio to the Dem party, etc that strong hat you refuse to condemn this disgusting asshole you voted for and not hold him accountable?
What is wrong with you fools?
-
more crying about irrelevant shit.
Dude, he's sodomizing the economy without lube.
yet you scream about his NCAA pics with the same voracity as you scream about everything else.
-
His bracket always blows, too.

i admit i'm a d-bag who focuses on dumb shit.
however, 33 is on a mission to derail the obama express, and IMO, the cheerleading of RINOs like palin and trump, coupled with "outrage over ncaa picks" really hurts his mission.
-
::) ::) ::) ::)
Whatever 240 - if this were Bush or Palin you would be screaming. Since its the Hip hop Party Animal Prez you love it.
BYT - please tell me in the last week one thing he has done related to is job. Last night he was begging gullible dupes for campaign $ $ $ $, giving this idiotic thing to ESPN, then giving a bogus speech on NCLB, then taking off to South america for another budget busting gala for hm and his fat fuck wife to scarf down kobe beef, champaigne, wine, steaks, etc.
But oh yeah - Newt had an affair. ::)

Not really. Japan is in crisis-mode, the Middle East is burning, Saudi Arabia is sending troops into Bahrain. Qaddafi, who Obama threw to the wolves, is rolling the rebels up left and right and yet this guy has time to make a gigantic publicity stunt out of picking NCAA brackets, filming it for ESPN, nonetheless.

Its always a party with this asshole.

the world is always ending. Bush slapped volleyballer ass cheeks and nearly fell from drunbkenness while Russia slaughtered in Georgia. It is what it is. The world is always ending, the middle east is always a clusterfck.
The president becomes a hermit and suddenly it's "Obama is falling apart, hiding from the nation, under too much pressure".
The world's always ending, and the pres' job is to be the cheerleader that 1) we're on it, and 2) everything's gonna be alright.

While Japan Burns, Obama Fills Out His Bracket
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE ^ | March 15,2011 | Jim Geraghty
________________________ ________________________ _____________________-
Wow:
Dangerous levels of radiation leaking from a crippled nuclear plant forced Japan to order 140,000 people to seal themselves indoors Tuesday after an explosion and a fire dramatically escalated the crisis spawned by a deadly tsunami.
In a nationally televised statement, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation had spread from the four stricken reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant along Japan’s northeastern coast. The region was shattered by Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami that is believed to have killed more than 10,000 people, plunged millions into misery and pummeled the world’s third-largest economy.
Via Mike Allen’s newsletter, we see in the first line how the leader of the free world will spend his day during this awful crisis:
President Obama is taping his NCAA picks today, and they’ll be revealed tomorrow on ESPN.
Okay, that’s not all he’s doing. “Obama will tape interviews from the Map Room with KOAT Albuquerque, KDKA Pittsburgh and WVEC Hampton Roads on education reform and the need to fix No Child Left Behind.”
Japan faces an almost unparalleled crisis, Libya is in civil war, and we’re having another budget showdown after running up a $222.5 billion deficit in the 28 days of February. And after last week’s bullying summit, Obama is spending this week talking education reform.
UPDATE: I spoke too soon. Of course he’s taking an easy schedule today; he was working hard last night:
President Obama makes his first major fund-raising pitch for his 2012 re-election on Monday night when he meets with about 50 backers—some involved in his 2008 campaign and others who are considered potential major supporters.
Obama meets with the group at the St. Regis Hotel at 7:30 p.m. est at an event organized by the Democratic National Committee, which is the political arm of the Obama operation for now since “official” Obama re-election papers have yet to be filed with the Federal Election Commission. No money for the 2012 re-elect can be collected until Obama files with the FEC. Any pledges obtained at the DNC reception Monday night–it is a DNC event–goes to the DNC. But since the main purpose of the DNC at this stage is to support Obama’s programs and re-election–it is a difference without a major distinction.

Fine - so GWB = Obama.
Got it.

well, I think stupid people NEED to see the POTUS conducting business as usual.
if obama came out looking panicked and cancelled a shitload of things, people would freak out.
You have to assure the masses that everything is alright. You have to.

333385 is right that fu@king obama should be in japan in a fu#king containment suit fixing those fu#king pumps :D :D

So tell me when and where this brilliant private strategy will pay off? ha ha ha ha ha ha.
This shit show is better entertainment than Jackass. Shit - i would trust Steve O or Wee-Man more than obama at this point.

Part of the president's job is to calm the masses. It's that simple.
We're dead broke, but he can't go on tv and say that. Nor could Bush after the economic collapse in sept 2008. They have to emphasize the positive. The minute a POTUS melts down publicly, 305 million people melt down.
-
obamas fault ;D

Yeah, partying it up shows real leadership. Scarfing down booze, liquor, kobe beef, champaigne, beer, caviar, making vids for ESPN, having daily concerts in the WH for R&B singers, focusing on irrelevent issues while the world burns is real leadership. ::)

yeah threatening to shut down the govt over a measily 60 billion in cuts out of a 1.65 TRILLION in deficit is real calming.

'Present' and unaccounted forPresident Obama is displaying a stunning lack of leadership
Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff
March 15, 2011
________________________ ________________-
In the best of times, a vacuum of leadership produces chaos and confusion.
These are not the best of times.
Unrest in the Mideast and Libya in particular; our national energy policy, as gasoline prices rise; the economy, as the recovery takes a snail's pace; and the current federal budget, which has still yet to be written -- all these issues and more cry out for leadership, and there is none.
The window for helping rebels in Libya overthrow strongman Moammar Gadhafi -- long a thorn in America's side -- seems to be closing, with Gadhafi forces turning the tide against the uprising. If he survives, history may look back on this episode as a show of American weakness, a Carter moment for Mr. Obama.
Our own policies seem to be in utter confusion: There was disagreement in officialdom even on whether an arms embargo on Libya pertained to the rebels.
On energy, as oil sources were in growing jeopardy -- prices have spiked even aside from the question of whether Saudi Arabia might sink into Libyan-style anarchy -- the president suggests tapping the nation's strategic oil reserve, but not untapped oil stores. In other words, spend your savings, but don't try to increase income.
Rather than focus all his efforts on the economy, the president now wants to overhaul the nation's education system via the No Child Left Behind Act. By all means, let's open another can of worms.
And on the federal budget, the president has almost nothing to say -- drawing rebuke even from Democrats on Capitol Hill, such as Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who lamented that "the most powerful person in these negotiations -- our president -- has failed to lead this debate or offer a serious proposal for spending and cuts that he would be willing to fight for."
Instead, Obama appointed as his point man on the budget Vice President Joe Biden -- who promptly left the country as the government operated on temporary "continuing resolutions."
"President Obama's Friday news conference," wrote Dan Balz in The Washington Post , "did little to advance U.S. policy on Libya or clarify the White House's position on resolving the budget impasse in Congress.
"For those hungering for bolder leadership in the effort to force Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi from power, the president had little new to offer ..."
Ever so kindly, Balz wrote that on the budget impasse, "Obama remained above the fray." There's a fine line between "above the fray" and "out to lunch." When Reagan did such things, the media lampooned him as intellectually bereft.
Consider the stunning lack of leadership in Obama's budget advice for Congress: "Both sides are going to have to sit down and compromise on prudent cuts somewhere between what the Republicans were seeking that's now been rejected and what the Democrats had agreed to that has also been rejected. It shouldn't be that complicated."
In other words: Hey, somebody should do something! It's as if the president were trying to broker peace in a far-off land rather than a budget compromise down the block.
Noting that in Illinois, state Sen. Barack Obama voted "present" 129 times, conservative writer Michael Barone concludes Mr. Obama is still voting present on major issues.
Even liberal writer Wendy Kaminer -- who's more concerned with Mr. Obama not being forceful enough with Republicans or nice enough to "non-citizen terror suspects" -- laments in The Atlantic that a penchant for compromise and bipartisanship "that might have made him a valuable senator, especially in ordinary times, have made him a disastrous president" in today's "bullying" political world.
As a candidate, he famously remarked that having an opinion on when life begins is "above my pay grade."
Alas, many more mundane items seem to be as well.

Dan Balz is not a conservative and even he admitted obama is a joke and not doing a damn thing.
What the fuck has obam done that you idiots are so eager to pledge your undying devotion for this communist puke? Seriously - in almost every quarter left, he has become a laughing stock, not taken remotely seriously on a world stage, and is crippling this nation.
But oh yeah, he looks good in shades.
Fucking pathetic.

They're not capable of refuting the points these articles and people make, hence they resort to slinging personal insults. It's really all they've got at this point.

It means that no matter what he does, you will be there in 2012 to vote for im, no matter who runs against him.
I can see the arguments already percolating on other sites: "Yes, Obama sucks and is as bad or worse than GWB, but we can possibly allow a lunatic like an extreme RW in office. So as bad as Obama is, and despite the fact that he sold us out on every possible measure, we still have to vote for him, otherwise we get Palin"
You and I both know you will adopt that line of thought regardless of who the GOP runs, whether its romney, T-Paw, huntsman, or if its Bachmann, Palin, Christie"
Sad but true. Blacks = Beaten Wives Club for the Dem party.

Why is it retarded? Please tell me how Palin was less qualified than obama, who himself said in 2004 he would not run for office in 2008 since he was not qualified. By his own measure he wasnot qualified, and for some reason, only 146 days later in the enate, he decided he was qualified? What was that?
-
i can get with that..
now 3333 where did you get i was lock step with obama politics?
I didnt say you were in lock step with his policies. i said that 95% of blacs statistically will vote for Obama regardless of anything. that is the truth. 95% chance you fall in that group and your instant shock troop like defense of him leads a reasonable persn to believe that you will be there in the rain, snow, hurricane, col, or typhoon to vote for him in 2012 regardless.

That is exactly the point. Its called priorities. We have about 4 900lb gorillas in the room that obama wont address, yet when it comes to partying like a spring break sophomore, it is all in.
Shit - even his own party is calling him out on his refusal to deal with anyhing.

No it isn't. It's nit picking on crack. You are redefining the phrase: "going over board"
I don't think it got this bad when Bush was in office and his obsessed stalkers searched far and wide for anything and everything.
-
Really? Is it nitpicking to point out his refusal to deal w the budget? How about his refusal to deal w the me mess or energy issues? What about his adbication on the economy and ue? Or inflation?
Its called priorities. If he has time to party like a crack whore from harlem who just won 100 in a scatch off, he has time to deal w issues of the day.

Go back and look at the title of YOUR thread.
It IS nit picking to post this thread. Stop your derail and deflection BS. I never brought up the budget, energy and economy as things you were nit picking. ::)
And comparing making a video for espn about college basket ball picks is a far cry from a $100 crack binge. Or is that just another one of your deflections?
You'd win more people over to way of thinking if posted with more credibillity instead of stooping to this garbage.
-
Not seeing your point at all. This is about priorities.
We are ablaze on a dozen issues that this wh refuses to even discuss, yes the 24 7 partying is an issue.

Funny - every single criticism against obama is considered nitpicking.
Blowing up the deficit - no biggie.
Blowing up the debt - no biggie.
Daily foreign policy disasters - no biggie.
Horrible energy policy - no biggie.
Letting wall street take over the govt - no biggie.
Promoting inflation and an energy crisis - no biggie.
Breaking every promise on transparency and lobbyists - no biggie.
2 wars - who remembers those?
Ha ha ha ha ha - but oh yeah - only when I point out just far this admn has fallen that it seems only to find time to party like crack whores 24 7, despite a deluge of crisis', does team obama get upset.
Lol.
Oh - Hope and Change. Lol.

The POTUS has many Responsibilities some of which are pulic relations and morale, and he goes about them in many different ways. Just like any president. So FDR never attended anything other than WW2 briefings and strategy sessions??? Com on. Stop hitting your "I am obsessed with Obama crack pipe" and sober up so you can see how stupid you sound.

Daily foreign policy disasters - no biggie.
Horrible energy policy - no biggie.
Letting wall street take over the govt - no biggie.
Promoting inflation and an energy crisis - no biggie.
Breaking every promise on transparency and lobbyists - no biggie.
2 wars - who remembers those?
Ha ha ha ha ha - but oh yeah - only when I point out just far this admn has fallen that it seems only to find time to party like crack whores 24 7, despite a deluge of crisis', does team obama get upset.
Lol.
Oh - Hope and Change. Lol.
Are you fucking DRUNK or something?????
Or is this another lame attempt to deflect from your crack born obsession of Obama?
THIS THREAD IS NIT PICKING NOT ALL THE THINGS YOU LISTED ABOVE.
-
::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
Yeah, next you'll start a thread about Obama taking too long in the crapper and ignoring his priorities.
::) Stay tuned folks, a spamming of Obama vids on the way.................

Drudge made up the title.

So then you are just a tool and it's not your fault you stoop to petty nit picking?
-
Is this story remotely as important as the debt,deficit, energy, foreign policy? Of course not!
It is nitpicking? Perhaps - but it still shows just how unserious and detached from reality this admn is on many levels.
Btw - how would obama even have the time to follow 64 teams for b ball if he was even half ass doing his job?
-
Call me a tool - that's fine - does not change the fact that attacking the messenger will not detract away from the growing perception that obama is the party animal prez.

Doesn't show that at all. It shows however, that your objectivity has fallen victim to obvious spin and an attempt to enrage those who lost their good judgement.
If you are going to rate Obama's focus in the mists of turmoil than you have to apply that to every other president and as I eluded to earlier, to make it easy you can start with FDR. The standard you fall for is neither realistic or acceptable to anyone but the same ones you yourself often berate starting with Benny or
Mons. And that goes for that perception of the pres being a pretty animal too.
After all, without any objectivity what do we really have? The makings of a tool.
Most of what you criticize with OB is on the money. I am just surprised you buy in into this obvious drivel.
-
Sometimes the little things provide just as much insight into things as the big things.
Again - how does he have time to keep track of 64 bball teams if he is actually doing the job as potus?
-
Funny - people attack me for posting this - yet - as I post this, I am listening to a serious discussion by foreign policy analysts and they mentioned this story and how the WH is completely AWOL in the ME issues and how piss poor obama is making this country look.
But oh yeah, its 33 how is out of touch. ::) ::) ::)
BTW - if you think I am kidding - here is the show - it streams live.

Obama: No. 1 seeds will rule in NCAA tournaments
EmailPrint..– 1 hr 27 mins ago

________________________ _______________________
WASHINGTON – March Madness is back at the White House, and President Barack Obama is picking the top seeds to advance to the Final Four.
For the third straight year, Obama has filled out an NCAA tournament bracket for ESPN. He says Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and Pittsburgh will make the men's Final Four.
Obama predicts Baylor, UConn, Stanford and Tennessee will advance in the women's tournament.
The president's entire brackets, including his choices for national champions, will be revealed on ESPN on Wednesday,
The basketball-player-in-chief is 1-1 when it comes to college basketball's national championship.
He correctly picked North Carolina to win in 2009. Last year, he went with Kansas, but Duke ended up taking home the trophy.

President Obama’s Trivial Pursuits
by Keith Koffler on March 15, 2011, 12:10 pm
http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/03/15/president-obamas-trivial-pursuits-2
________________________ ____________--
The Middle East is afire with rebellion, Japan is imploding from an earthquake, and the battle of the budget is on in the United States, but none of this seems to be deterring President Obama from a heavy schedule of childish distractions.
The newly installed tandem of White House Chief of Staff William Daley and Senior Adviser David Plouffe were supposed to impart a new sense of discipline and purpose to the White House. Instead, they are permitting him to showcase himself as a poorly focused leader who has his priorities backward.
This morning, as Japan’s nuclear crisis enters a potentially catastrophic phase, we are told that Obama is videotaping his NCAA tournament picks and that we’ll be able to tune into ESPN Wednesday to find out who he likes.
Saturday, he made his 61st outing to the golf course as president, and got back to the White House with just enough time for a quick shower before heading out to party with Washington’s elite journalists at the annual Gridiron Dinner.
With various urgencies swirling about him, Saturday’s weekly videotaped presidential address focusing on “Women’s History Month” seemed bizarrely out of touch.
Obama Friday took time out to honor the 2009-10 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. Thursday was a White House conference on bullying – not a bad idea perhaps, but not quite Leader of the Free World stuff either.
Obama appeared a little sleepy as he weighed in against the bullies, perhaps because he’d spent the night before partying with lawmakers as they took in a Chicago Bulls vs. Charlotte Bobcats game.
Meanwhile, the president has been studying for weeks whether to establish a No Fly Zone over Libya, delaying action while the point becomes increasingly moot as Qaddafi begins to defeat and slaughter his opponents. And lawmakers from both Parties are wondering why he seems to be AWOL in the deficit reduction debate.
The Libya indecision follows an inconsistent response to the protests that ousted former Egyptian President Mubarak and seemed to catch the White House off guard. The perfunctory response from the White House Monday to Saudi Arabia’s dispatch of troops to Bahrain suggested the administration wasn’t prepared for that one either.
But the fun stuff won’t end anytime soon. On Thursday, the Taoiseach of Ireland will be in town to help the president celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. And then Friday it’s off to Brazil for the start of a three-country Latin American tour.
Oddly, he’ll be missing Carnival, which went down last week.

Ahh, the world is certainly a safer place now that Barack has made his picks. I guess we don't have to worry about the rising debt, inflation, unemployment, the Middle East, Japan, rising energy prices.......as a matter of fact, Barack, why don't you take some needed time off now that you've made your picks and go to say, Rio this weekend.....oh, I see you already are. I know you got away with voting "Present" when you were in the Senate, but it doesn't work that way when you're president. Enjoy your one term, because that's all the voters in America are going to give you!

BTW - he s heading for partytime in RIO this weeked, spent this week fundraising and partying, is partying on Friday for St. Patty's, giving irrelevent and idiotic speeches on such immediate and pressing issues such as bullying and NCLB.
One would have thought the disaster that was the mid terms for him would have humbled him and made him be a more serious person, but I guess not.
Its just downright embarrassing how awful this admn is. And its no longer just me saying that, its people all over the world laughing their ass off at this shit show.

Obama the invisible
By JOHN PODHORETZ
Last Updated: 10:14 AM, March 16, 2011
Posted: 11:48 PM, March 15, 2011
________________________ _____________________
Where is the president? The world is beset. Moammar Khadafy is moving relentlessly to crush the Libyan revolt that once promised the overthrow of one of the world's most despicable regimes.
So where is the president?
Japan may be on the verge of a disaster that dwarfs any we have yet seen. A self-governing nation like the United States needs its leader to take full measure of his position at times of crises when the path forward is no longer clear.
This is not a time for leadership; this is the time for leadership.
So where is Barack Obama?
The moment demands that he rise to the challenge of showing America and the world that he is taking the reins. How leaders act in times of unanticipated crisis, in which they do not have a formulated game plan and must instead navigate in treacherous waters, defines them.
Obama is defining himself in a way that will destroy him.
It is not merely that he isn't rising to the challenge. He is avoiding the challenge. He is Bartleby the President. He would prefer not to.
He has access to a microphone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If he tells the broadcast networks in the middle of the day that he has a major address to deliver on an unprecedented world situation, they will cancel their programming for him.
And yet, since Friday and a press conference in which he managed to leave the American position on Libya more muddled than it was before, we have not heard his voice. Except in a radio address -- he talked about education legislation.
And he appeared at a fund-raiser in DC. And sat down with ESPN to reveal his NCAA picks.
He cannot go on like this. Niall Ferguson, the very pessimis tic economic his torian, wrote the other day that the best we can now hope for is that Obama leaves the country in the same kind of shape that Jimmy Carter left it in.
That doesn't do Obama justice. Despite how disastrously he has handled the crises of the past two months, he can still turn his presidency around on a dime.
For Obama to save himself, he should be thinking about the example of an unlikely Republican predecessor: Richard Nixon.
The multifarious crises the president now faces are eerily similar to the kinds of calamities that greeted Richard Nixon in his first term from 1969-1972. Then, as now, the world was on fire. Wars erupted between China and the Soviet Union, India and Pakistan, even El Salvador and Honduras.
Jordan was nearly taken over from within by the Palestine Liberation Organization. There were humanitarian disasters in Biafra (the result of civil war), Bangladesh (due to flooding) and Nicaragua (deadly earthquake).
There was more, much more -- including a war he inherited in Vietnam, just as Obama has the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You get the point.
Nixon in 1968, unlike Obama 2008, was elected as a minority president with only 43 percent of the vote. Yet, in 1972, he won what, in some measures, was the most lopsided election in American history with 61 percent.
Nixon achieved it, in large measure, because he appeared to be a serious man grappling in deadly earnest with the serious problems presented to him by a world careening out of control.
He demonstrated high competency when it came to matters on the world stage. He and his team (primarily Henry Kissinger) developed coherent policies and strategies for coping with the world. There was no question, to friend or foe, that he was fully engaged, paying attention, deeply involved.
Nixon was an awful president in many ways, including in some of his foreign-policy choices. But he left no doubt that foreign policy and America's leadership in the world outside its borders was of paramount importance to him.
All this had the effect of elevating Nixon during his time in office, so that when it came to running against George McGovern in 1972, Nixon seemed like a Titan and McGovern a pipsqueak.
How Nixon conducted himself in office in times of crises made possible his triumphant re-election. Right now, how Obama is conducting himself in a time of crisis is having the opposite effect.
He began his presidency as a potential colossus -- but if he doesn't change, he will finish it as a pipsqueak. Pipsqueaks don't win second terms.

People who pay attention to politics will notice and demand that you provide an attribution. I won't name the author or article because I didn't plagarize the comment.

The other issues right now are far to depressing to focus on. inflation - skyrocketing, foreign policy - worse than carter, economy - still in collapse, housing - worst since 1984, energy -rising fuel, etc etc.
If you want me to focus on that fine - but I prefer to mock Obama for just how embarrassing his entire presidency has become.
And BTW - I am not the oly one focusing on this, Yahoo, AP, HP, and many other mainstream sites are destroying boy wonder over this.

Well if he's that bad with with all that stuff then I guess you should want Him partying all the time. ;D
My point is not the validity of the core or your criticisms, but instead the tendency to go over board with them to the point of pettiness over insignificant obvious spin and embellishments which makes it hard to take what you say completely serious. Which when that happens, as in threads like this, make you very comparable to the like of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharton and dare I say Mike Savage.

President Obama's 2011 NCAA Brackets
Posted by Jesse Lee on March 16, 2011 at 12:20 PM EDT
As he does every year, the President filled out his brackets predicting the winners of the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments, but discussing it with Doris Burke of ESPN, he began with a call to stand with the people of Japan:
One of the things I wanted to do on the show was, as people are filling out their brackets -- this is obviously a national pastime; we all have a great time, it’s a great diversion. But I know a lot of people are thinking how can they help the Japanese people during this time of need. If you go to usaid.gov -- usaid.gov -- that will list all the nonprofits, the charities that are helping out there. It would be wonderful for people to maybe offer a little help to the Japanese people at this time -- as they’re filling out their brackets. It’s not going to take a lot of time. That's usaid.gov. It could be really helpful.
•Go to usaid.gov
As for the brackets, they speak for themselves. He's not seeing a lot of Cinderellas in the final rounds and he's calling Kansas for the men and UConn for the women -- look at a large size pdf or check them out below:

Obama takes flak for ESPN appearance
By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) – Republicans are taking aim at President Obama Wednesday for appearing on an ESPN segment to reveal his bracket picks for the NCAA Basketball tournament.
The GOP's beef? The president should be focusing his attention elsewhere.
"How can @BarackObama say he is leading when puts his NCAA bracket over the budget & other pressing issues?" tweeted Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus Tuesday.
Appearing in a brief segment Wednesday, Obama, as he has in past years, unveiled his bracket picks, ultimately choosing Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Pitt for his final four. Before revealing the picks, the president did urge viewers to go to usaid.gov to donate to charities that are assisting in the aftermath of the earthquake in Japan.
Still, RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said the White House should "explain why filming an ESPN special on the NCAA tournament should be a priority on his public schedule."
For the record, Obama is picking Kansas to go all the way.
"Kansas has more firepower," he said.

You think this guy has a chance for a second term?

I think it's completely dependent on the economic situation. If the economy is as bad in 2012 as it is today and the Repubs run a sane candidate (i.e., not Palin) then he's gone. He's in for a dogfight, either way.
-
If the economy, gas prices, and inflation are what they are as of today, let alone housing, he is gone, yes, even if palin runs.
I think it will be someone like daniels or romeny and they will easily win.
-
He's gone no matter who runs. He may not even win the democratic nominee. At this point its just a matter of whether or not America is salvageable after another year and three quarters with the worst president in American history.

And now he is off to party for five days in rio and booze it up with michelle.
Disgusting.

Nuclear crisis in Japan, a civil war in Libya and where is the President? Heading for Rio de Janeiro
Mail Online ^ | 17 mar 2011 | David Gardner
Mr Obama has refused to scrap a five-day trip to Latin America that will take him to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador.
Resisting demands that he should remain at home in the White House to deal with the international response to Japan’s nuclear crisis and Colonel Gaddafi’s crackdown on anti-government rebels, the president insists he can stay on top of the fast-moving developments while on the road.
Some Republican critics have complained the sunshine trip symbolises Mr Obama’s lack of leadership at a time of international chaos. But White House press secretary Jay Carney said Mr Obama felt the visit was important to help boost U.S. jobs.
'The President is taking this trip because he is committed to growing the economy and rebalancing our national security posture,' Mr Carney said after he was asked if the trip might be shelved.
'He remains confident he can fully execute his job when he is on the road,’ added Mr Carney.
He said the President will monitor ‘all major issues, all the time’ wherever he is.
Mr Obama will be giving a speech at the Cinelandia Square in Rio on Sunday and his family is expected to join him to take in the city sights, including the famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain.
The Obamas will be heading to the beach after meeting Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in the capital Brasilia on Saturday.

..Obama picks UConn to win 3rd straight women's basketball national championship
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/obama-picks-uconn-win-3rd-straight-womens-basketball-20110318-091218-553.html
By The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 48 minutes ago
________________________ _________-
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is staying with defending champion Connecticut in the women's basketball bracket.
For the second straight year, Obama has filled out an NCAA women's tournament bracket for ESPN. He says top seeds Connecticut, Baylor, Stanford, and Tennessee will make the women's Final Four.
Obama has the Huskies beating the Lady Bears in the national championship game.
The Huskies have won the last two national championships and lost only one game since Obama took office. That loss was to Stanford in December and snapped UConn's 90-game winning streak.
His pick to win it all was revealed Friday on SportsCenter.
Obama correctly chose Connecticut to beat Stanford for the championship last season.
He picked Kansas to win the men's title this year.

I'm busting balls. 99% of my work is phone, fax, email, etc. I have three computer screens at my desk and post while Im waiting on th phone, faxes in and out, etc.
I am 95% on commission and not paid hourly. Often times I do work, and then have to wait for something to come back to where I cant actually do work on a case every moment. we have hundreds and hudreds of cases, but most cant be dealt with daily.
I'm basically on the phone all day following up, sending emails, etc.

Or.... drum roll please.... the coverage he got from being on every network with his NCAA picks made him appeal to dumbshit sheep march madness viewers? ;)
Perhaps this is why he didn't cancel his picks this year. Would be cool to see the bump he got in the 3 days following last years' picks.

Yeah, we went from stopping the rise of the ocean, healing the planet, and being the last besthope alive, and "we are the ones",to having to resort to picking NCAA womens bball teams on ESPN to hope that enough hung over college runks think its cool.
I can imagine Gallup Org calling the dorms and asking some drunk moron sleeping in their puke if they approve of obama right after the espn skit was on.
What a joke we are.

I think when you try too hard to suppress your inherent liberal tendencies they come out every once in while in strange ways. Lol

I think it's completely dependent on the economic situation. If the economy is as bad in 2012 as it is today and the Repubs run a sane candidate (i.e., not Palin) then he's gone. He's in for a dogfight, either way.
Dick Morris seems to agree.

240 - if its trump v obama - who are you voting for?
Trump.
But some repubs will stay home when Trump admits in primaries that he isn't going to rule out trying to grab every rifle in America 5 minutes after he takes office.
And part of beating obama (51% at Gallup now?) is motivating every possible GOp voter. I know that until 2005, I was a 100% gun rights voters - single issue. There are lots of people like that. If you thought ppl stayed home for pro-gun mccain, then you have to believe some will stay home because both candidates support the AWM (and trump has admitted it - obama hasn't!)
-
So who do you think would be the best pick to beat obama and motivate gop voters?
Personally - I think that is christie at this point.

President proves to be hoops guru
Yahoo! Sports ^ | 3-18-11 | Dan Wetzel
(snip)
Barack Obama picked 29 of the 32 games so far correctly on his bracket. He just went a blistering 29-3 in the first round. While millions of Americans have had their brackets busted, Obama’s is almost perfectly intact after two days of play. (snip)
Other than that, he has ridden a wave of success from favorites that have mostly robbed the vaunted tournament of its signature small-school upsets but proven money for those, such as Obama, who picked few upsets. Obama’s score would rank him in the top 1 percent of the masses who played the Yahoo! Tournament Pick’em Game. He appears capable of scoring higher than any player on Yahoo! and perhaps any of the other bracket contests on the Internet. (snip)
Obama is a basketball fan. As President, he has taken in college games in person and expressed that he regularly watches on TV. Participating in the filling out of a bracket would seem to be a typical political maneuver to bolster a connection with millions of Americans. Showing such proficiency at picking the teams, though, may not be what the White House hoped. Just how much college basketball has the President been watching? Newt Gingrich criticized Obama this week for his “fixation” on the Final Four in lieu of other issues. Actually, Obama’s selections may suggest he isn’t that devout a fan. His picks were overwhelmingly for name programs and favorites – simply following the seedings of the selection committee. (snip)
It’s a chalk event thus far, easier to pick for the casual fan than the hardcore one who over-thinks things. Or perhaps President Obama really knows his stuff (snip)

I dont follow basketball and find his preoccupation with bball instead of his job while the world is on fire truly revolting.
He is like the crack whore who won the mega millions.
Reember that first base head who won lotto in the 80's wth he top hat and who went broke like a year later? H won like 5 mill back in the day ad then was famous for being broke two years later.
Thatis obama.

I can spin that, you know this.
He picks a fun bracket and moves to 51% with voters. This helps him maintain his lead over repubs, lets him win 4 more years in office, and he can then "help" the nation with another 4 years of his policy.
Picking NCAA teams is akin to anyone else handing out business cards to secure future work, or faking presidential runs to garner ratings for their TV Show (no homo trump).

Gingrich On Libya: Thankfully, French Not Distracted By Brackets
TPM via Drudge ^ | 3/18/2011
Newt Gingrich told reporters today that the Libyan rebels have France's lack of bracket fever to thank for the no-fly zone that will soon protect them from aerial attacks by embattled dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
Asked about the U.N. Resolution authorizing military intervention in Libya -- something Gingrich has been pushing for a while now -- Gingrich ripped President Obama for not acting sooner, and again mocked him for his March Madness bracket.
"I was, frankly, very disappointed that [Nicolas] Sarkozy did not share with us his Final Four picks," Gingrich said, referring to the French president, who's nation has led the push for military intervention in Libya. "And i think it's his failure to understand the Final Four that allowed him to focus on Libya on a way tha. Clearly, if he had understood the American system he would have understood that his is not a good week to deal with Libya because this is the week to deal with Kansas, Ohio State, and you know things that were really important."

Eh, I dunno. Obama was against it. He paid it some lip service, but like berserker said on the other thread, Gadaffi is about to finish off the rebels and the USA is certainly not leading any charge to help anyone.

Rubber Bullets Fly at Anti-Obama Protest In Rio
Mar. 18 2011 - 9:19 pm | 122,379 views | 0 recommendations | 27 comments
By KENNETH RAPOZA
Some socialist anti-Obama protests in Rio de Janeiro. Police scattered the crowd with rubber bullets on Friday. More protests are scheduled by political groups during Obama's two day trip to Brazil.
A molotov cocktail was launched in front of the US consulate in Rio de Janeiro late Friday in protest of the arrival of President Barack Obama, the O Globo newspaper in Rio reported. Military police reacted by firing rubber bullets into the gathering of 200 at around 18:30 local time. A CBN news reporter suffered a minor injury from the shots and traffic was blocked.
“They came after us with clubs and tear gas and attacked,” according to protestor Thiago Hastenheiter. “They chased us through the streets and started firing rounds of rubber bullets.”
Police major Fabio Alessandro of the 13th Batallion of Rio’s military police said that the protestors, all left leaning social movements associated with the Socialist Workers Party, PSTU, did not have a permit to protest near the consulate along Avenida Rio Branco and had refused to disperse from the area. They wore the ubiquitous Che Guevera T shirt and carried American flags that said Go Home Obama. Most of the protests had been peaceful until two home-made molotov cocktails were let loose in the direction of the Consulate. A guard at the Consulate was partially burned and was sent to the emergency room at Souza Aguiar Hospital.
Fourteen protestors have been arrested.
See video here by a protestor at the moment the rubber bullets were fired..
Obama will arrive in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday and give a speech to invited guests in downtown Rio. Originally, the speech was to take place at the Cinelândia square in the city, but was changed on Friday. The Embassy did not give a reason for the change. Rumors on the street and in the local press were that security officials were worried of a possible terrorist attack against Obama in open air in light of the UN Security Council resolution against Libya on Thursday. Obama endorsed military action against Libya following over a week of violence against anti-government rebels there. Moammar Gadhafi agreed to a cease fire.
What is most ironic about the Brazil protests is that the PSTU is a hard core socialist party in Brazil. While anti-Obama protests in the US consider Obama a socialist, the socialists in Brazil consider him a yankee capitalist, the bane of the Latin American left.
PSTU said on its website that protests will also take place in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte cities around 19:00 local time. More were planned for Saturday morning in the nation’s capital, Brasilia, and a final protest was being organized by PSTU adherents for Sunday morning, the day of Obama’s speech.
PSTU is a faction of the much larger Workers Party, or PT. It split from the ruling PT party in the first few years of the administration of populist pragmatic president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on claims that Lula wasn’t left wing enough.
PSTU says the protest is to bring “American imperialism” to the attention of the millions of Brazilians who will be watching and reading about Obama over the next two days. The protestors say that Obama wants to promote a free trade agreement, long dead between the two countries, and aired concern of a potential US attack on Libya despite a cease fire call by Gadhafi.
Another complaint was that Obama wanted Brazilian president from the Workers Party, Dilma Rousseff, to sell Brazil’s newfound oil to the US. One of the world’s largest deep sea oil discoveries was made by Brazilian oil company Petrobras in the so called Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin off the coast of Rio back in November of 2007.
The US is interested in importing oil from Petrobras, and Obama has said as much. But the US has no powers over Petrobras, which is majority owned by the Brazilian government and intent on servicing local oil needs first.

only reason I'm even looking at it today is on stuck on a 3 hour conference call
Hahaha, bitter leftist rage.

If you go to DU, HP, FDL, WAPO and their boardsyou will see a lot of thesame themes.
