The “First Bracket” may have brought President Obama some unwanted scrutiny this past week, but a number of lawmakers — like most Americans — prepped their brackets ahead of this weekend’s opening rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament.Still though, Obama was able to recover and also place 14 in the Sweet Sixteen. But seriously Mr. President...VCU over UCLA, Temple over Arizona St., Wake Forest? What in God's name were you thinking? Right now the President is in 2,167,290 place for ESPN's Tournament Challenge. Frankly this is embarrassing. Apparently McCain is kicking ass. Maybe we elected the wrong guy. Maybe McCain or UPSSERG 1 should be leading us now. As our first black President, avowed baller, and brother in law to a Div 1 coach, I am disappointed in you. Putting Pitt in the Final Four doesn't fix things between us either.
And if the presidential election were an office pool, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) would have won the first weekend of play in a landslide over Obama.
McCain’s bracket has 14 teams picked correctly headed into the Sweet Sixteen, placing him in the 94th percentile after the first weekend of play.
The president has been less lucky. Despite having a brother-in-law who coaches Oregon State’s team, Obama fell short in a number of the first-round match-ups that kept Washington and the rest of the country distracted from work Thursday and Friday afternoon.
In other bracket news, Mitch McConnell can't seem to divorce anything from politics and went with a Louisville/Western Kentucky final. Thank God the Wildcats didn't make it in or we would have seen Mitch's bracket include the first three team final. Also, in showing their full hatred of America and all it's pastimes, the Democratic leadership of Reid, Pelosi, and Durbin were unable to fill out brackets. Every other elected member of Congress did supposedly fill one out, but sadly there seems to be nowhere to go and check them all out, judging them for their lack or wealth of college b-ball knowledge. Maybe next year.
