Obama has Villanova in Final Four
Jonathan Tannenwald, Philly.com
Among the many tasks I've done while at Philly.com is moderating comments on our site's blog posts and news articles. So I have a hunch that what I'm about to write will generate a rather substantial reaction.
President Obama has picked Villanova to go to the Final Four.
For the second year in a row, Obama has sent his bracket to ESPN for public consumption. This year, he has filled out a bracket for the women's field as well.
As of now, ESPN has only released the teams Obama has in the tournaments' respective Final Fours. On the men's side, he has Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Villanova. On the women's side, he has Connecticut, Stanford, Notre Dame and Tennessee.
Obama's full men's bracket will be released tomorrow at noon. His women's bracket will be released Friday at 9 a.m.
I will now get out of the way.
Hope he is right about Villanova but wrong about Temple. Although in reality, both teams are long shots to make the final four. It would be a great day for them and for Philly, though.— racn4acure

- Obama probably knows more about basketball than all of you, including me. This is for fun, so give your political griping a rest. If you weren't interested, then why did you read the article and then post? Idiots.— socalphillyguy

- Hard to believe, Harry. I have played sports all of my life...I make my living in politics. The world would be a better place if athletes kept their political views to themselves and politicians didn't bet cheesesteaks on sporting events. Who cares what the President thinks about Villanova's 3/4 court trap or if Fran Dunphy can beat a former assistant? GO OWLS!...GO CATS!...and for the sake of the 30 million people who will now have insurance under the President's health plan...GO OBAMACARE!— JoeyMax

- He's as out of touch with Villanova's recent play as he is with the people's opinion of his health care plan.— hairball
- Look how he been in his first year in office, a complete fool. But man can he ball!!!— rgreen72
- Remember when the media fawned over Barry's bracket picks in the run-up to last year's tournament? The thing was completely busted after the first day. Excellent foreshadowing on year 1 of his presidency.— hotelguy
