Basketball fans across the country are ditching work and gearing up for March Madness, and Barack Obama is no exception. While he's still maintaining his campaign schedule, Obama filled out a bracket and paid $10 to get into a pool with his traveling staff. Do his picks for the Final Four show an in-depth knowledge of the college game, or are they politically savvy? You be the judge:

John McCain and Bill Clinton also picked UNC as champion.
This is more of halftime fun for NCAA manias, not so much for political chasers.

Apparently bracketology is not his strong suit.

Outside of Las Vegas, and Atlantic City isn't all sport betting illegal? Even work/bar pools?

Fluff story, but decent pics. Lighten up everyone.

And for the record, Pitt will not make the final Four, and I have UNC winning it all as well.

So many sour grapes comments here. I bet if Hillary released her chocolate chip cookie recipe and HuffPo posted it, her supporters would go crazy with delight and adulation.

Speaking of sour grapes, the Michigan re-vote is dead, never got past the legislature, and Clinton is blaming Obama for the failure. The funny thing is the entire top of the Michigan Democratic machine was behind Clinton on this, plus millionaires like NJ gov. Corzine pledging to up the money. So with so much firepower behind it, why did it fail?

It failed because it was rigged in favor or Clinton and the MI legislature saw through it.

If Obama can't pick someone other than North Carolina to win the tournament, how can we expect him to lead the country?!?!?

DUH.... =)

Whoa, unfair! We need balance. What about St. John McInsane? Huffpo better get its ass together and give us Old John's picks for the NCAA Shuffleboard extravaganza. There to the strains of stirring music from the early 50's old geezers wil show you whipper-snappers a thing or two.

Why? He is still a racist supporting a bigoted Reverend and Church. Do you think his basketball dribbling is going to change the fact that he is dropping in the polls like a sea gull nosedive?

Good riddance. America is far better off without him and will flourish with Clinton at the helm!

That is enough. J. Wright is NOT a bigot and the church is not either. It is a progressive inclusive church with a black congregation. My gawd..talk about small minded bigots..Osie...you take the cake.

Give me a break! Who the hell cares? This man is a potential nominee for the presidency . . . don't know why his picks for the NCAA basketball tournament are of interest. How about his qualifications to be president . . . that's what should be in the news.

You have to understand here - Barack Hussein Obama has no real qualificiations for the office of U.S. President. What Huff is trying to do here is make him appear as someone to like, someone to care about, and to cover up the fact that he is a racist through and through.

Wait - visit his own political website. There you can run your mouse over the Black Panther logo icon and be proud that Mr. "O" (as Oprah would say) is a proud member and fully supports the Blank Panther organization.

The guy is a con artist and nothing more.

Provide a link to the page with the Black Panther logo. No problem, right?

Now, if Obama went to those teams and told them whoever makes it to the Final Four, he will personally show up at their Campus and speak, I wonder if that would put a little charge in the game. i think it would.
