superfunny. excellent find, yoni
...Obama into the paint.
Reacting to news Obama picked North Carolina to win the NCAA Championship, Mike Krzyzewski says, "the economy is something that [the president] should focus on, probably more than the brackets."
And, in other news...Obama's teleprompter has a blog!

superfunny. excellent find, yoni
because it takes an extraordinary amount of time to fill out an NCAA bracket on Yahoo.
If Obama isn't working 24 hours a day, he must not be working at all. Where was Coach K when W. was out playing round golf while our troops had just been deployed to Iraq?
I have no problem with the President engaging in leisure pursuits. After all, all work and no play...yadda yadda yadda. However, I don't recall President Bush ever making his leisure into media events, complete with white boards bearing the Presidential Seal.
C'mon
i remember an 8 month wood chopping media event.
.........Obama went on to express outrage at Krzyzewski's remarks and lobbied congressional democrats to enact special tax legislation on collegiate basketball coaches at private universities in North Carolina making over $1 million dollars......................
You think he only worked his Crawford Ranch when the media were around? I don't recall seeing a Presidential seal on the chainsaw, either.
Look the media follows the President everywhere. There are miles of footage showing just about every president engaging in recreation or non-job-related activities.
I just think, in this case, the Duke coach has a point. After all, some amount of White House resources were expended to come up with the white board and schedule the event with ESPN. It's just silly, that's all.
If it were a candid moment of the President buying a square in an office March Madness pool, it's be different.
That's almost believable in the current climate.
really? then why was there a cameraman standing right in front of Bush during his swing?I have no problem with the President engaging in leisure pursuits. After all, all work and no play...yadda yadda yadda. However, I don't recall President Bush ever making his leisure into media events, complete with white boards bearing the Presidential Seal.
C'mon
I don't have a problem with Presidents engaging in leisure pursuits either. It's why I don't start threads about them.
What kind of resources were used in transporting Bush around to sporting events?
Sadly, true. Regardless of how big a bunch of bags at AIG are or are not, the fact that our government would consider tax legislation aimed at punishing a group of people who did something the administration did not like is appaulling to me.
Because he asked to get that shot?
Actually, the thread was about the Duke Coach owning Obama. Someone else brought up Presidential leisure pursuits.
The same ones used to take President Obama -- and every other President -- everywhere he goes...that's a wash.
I don't think they allow Presidents to just jump in a Company Suburban or grab a Southwest flight to where ever they feel like going that day.
thats because he thought it was a mammal.
Because the Ranch in Crawford doesn't fit on a ing white board. But if Obama spends months filling out that bracket he might actually catch up to Bush as far as vactioning goes.I have no problem with the President engaging in leisure pursuits. After all, all work and no play...yadda yadda yadda. However, I don't recall President Bush ever making his leisure into media events, complete with white boards bearing the Presidential Seal.

Yoni is ok with month long vacations in crawford but get's worked up over obama's 30 minutes of filling out his bracket.
Why am I not surprised you miss the point entirely.
Thanks for playing...
Same goes for you.
The whole white house media event with the giant bracket is over the top, but I have no problem with the president pursuing hobbies like anyone else.
what kind of ing name is Yonivore? You even sound like a bag do us all a favor and go drink a cup of bleach
I don't have a problem with any president taking time out to fill out his NCAA bracket.
Why is it you love to throw rocks from the most brittle of glass houses while standing on the 3rd floor balcony? Hows Bush liking that Crawford ranch? What, he's living in Dallas? Strange, its like the ranch was simply a media ploy.
No, it's like the ranch and Crawford was overrun by idiots, making it more desirable to move to a gated community.
And, for those of you keeping score, I started this thread to mock the President over the Duke Coach owning him.
It was Blake that turned the conversation....
I won't argue that it was overrun by idiots Yoni but changing houses isn't going to help that problem one bit. Its cool though, its not like he purchased the ranch at the start of his presidential run and its not like he made a spectacle of the place right off the bat by making his campaign announcement there.
No no, the ranch was certainly not a media ploy because it wasn't on a white board and it didn't have a presidential seal carved into the brush. Bush was above all that.
