President Obama predicts OU basketball

[coolm]

and says we will make the sweet 16 with wins over Albany and Dayton.

 

[papaP]

Well Mr. President I don't agree with some of your policies but on this prediction I am on board with you sir. :woot

 

[pnkranger]

If we make the sweet 16, we're going to give Virginia or Michigan State one hell of a game.

That would be sweet Buddy playing against his former teammate Tum Tum

If I recall correctly he did not do well last year. It surprised me because I thought he knew basketball. Of course he might not have as. Uh time to watch games as some of us.

 

[Vinny78]

Could care less what he thinks. He should be tending to other business not making out brackets.

 

[DenverSooner]

I am no fan of his but there is nothing wrong with him completing a bracket

You are right. The problem is with the media that thinks we give a crap. I don't remember any other president commenting publicly on so many non-political topics, and this one does.

Didn't Nixon declare a national champion in football?

 

[coolm]

oh please. a lot of Presidents talk sports and many other topics.

I swear. I was just pleased that others had us at least in the second weekend.

Please. Obama's predecessor was on Deal or No Deal, for pete's sake.

Could we skip the politics? It should have been clear from the subject line exactly what this thread was about, so don't click on it if you can't abide this President.

 

[coolm]

thank you Sky.

 

[papaP]

thank you Sky.

Agreed

 

[WTSooner]

Agreed

LMAO

YOU brought up politics before I did.

he doesn't know basketball ..and he is terrible at basketball .. part of the myth of Obama

kinda like the myth of staying on topic ?

yes, we're all familiar with your political leaning now.

 

[coolm]

sad I even brought this up now.

I honestly thought it would be like "yeah ... and will ferrell picked us"

"I saw kevin Hart picked OU too."

it was a recognition of OU basketball thing to me. Not some chance to bash or not bash the president.

Come on, coolm. You're making your political leaning obvious as well. Whether you (or any of us) agree or disagree with our president's politics, it's okay either way. We can agree or disagree on politics all day, but it shouldn't make one iota of difference as far as our basketball discussions go.

And even if some might disagree with the President on some issues, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't respect the man – or the office he holds.

Lighten up!

so he's no different than a lot of us

What bothers me is when the media tries to portray a famous person as an "athlete" when they clearly are not. E.g. The portrayal of Obama as an athlete and Obama's throwing motion. Like or dislike him, it doesn't matter. The guy isn't an athlete.

^^This isn't a political comment, so people, don't try to make it one.

They have run the "Barack-etology" segment a little much for my taste, but I like it that he fills out a bracket. Yes, he is probably clueless, but would you really expect him to keep up with college basketball? It shows he is normal person, and I always like seeing that in someone with that much power.
