Obama's NCAA bracket is in the top 99.9%.
Edited on Fri Mar-25-11 10:37 PM by Quixote1818
Just wondering when Republicans will start saying he is influencing the outcome of the games. :)

Keep in mind that he is in the 99.9% out of 6 million people who filled out brackets.

4. It's actually an issue that has been talked about a lot by Republicans

I considered putting it in the lounge but felt it had some political merit here based on all the talk in the news about Obama and his brackets in the middle of the Libya attacks.

5. This has no political merit.
You're talking about sports brackets. Sports brackets.

7. We'll give you call when you're elected to decide what's fit to post in GD.
(Hint: you'll probably need to be here for more than a month.)

9. My bad, I just assumed that only a noob would try to dictate what should be posted in a given forum.
Most of us know to leave that to the mods.

10. I didn't say that it shouldn't be posted here. I said it had no political merit.

3. pretty impressive, though since he's lost two final four teams it likely won't stay that way
And there's a good chance he could lose a third with Ohio State in a tough game against Kentucky at the moment. :)

14. I have to say that people bashing Obama and implying he shouldn't have his Nobel Peace Prize because
he has intervened to prevent a massacre and mass atrocities just cracks me the f$% up at its utter ridiculousness.

16. Perhaps the anti-Nobel people are taking into consideration the
wars that have continued subsequent to the awarding of that prize. And the new one, of course.

17. its not Libya,its the escalation of the Afghan conflict,torture of Manning,drone attacks in Pakistan
Edited on Sat Mar-26-11 01:45 AM by stockholmer
etc etc etc that have killed thousands of civilians.

And please, spare me about humanitarian intervention, as the US sits by and watches brutal civilian slaughters in Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, etc and does nothing. Not to mention sub-Saharan Africa. Not to mention the ridiculous lies about Ghaddafi using reporters as human shields or the so-called 'numerous' bombing runs that killed thousands of innocent civilians.

I remember the lies about babies in hospital incubators being thrown onto floors and killed by Saddam's troops.

Same shite, different time, same motivation..... oil, war profits and pushing the 'arc of crisis' along.

15. Huh. You think he'd be able to read the UN Charter and Congress' UN Participation Act
At least he's spending his time doing something important.
