Coach K to Obama: Get to Work

As most of you have probably heard by now, Andy Katz of ESPN famously scored an hour or less with President Obama who filled out an NCAA bracket much as he has done every year, I'm quite sure. Now, far be it from me to tell the Leader of the Free World what to do with his time and I wouldn't even be bringing this up if he hadn't had second thoughts about his bracket choices, but really, shouldn't he be worried about something more important than the NCAA tournament, like, oh I don't know, maybe the economy.

Apparently, I'm not the only who feels this way. When asked about the President's choice of North Carolina to win it all (a blatant attempt to win North Carolina in 2012 if you ask me), Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said: "Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets."

I'll close this post with a comment from my Congressman, the Honorable John Yarmuth who, when told of the President's bracket respoonded with this statement:

"President Obama?s excellent instincts told him Louisville would win it all, and I?m disappointed he second guessed himself. I?m sorry Mr. President, but that is change we cannot believe in. Go Cards!?
