This is on a bit of a lighter note, but ESPN has a preview of Obama's picks for the bracket up. Can you remember previous presidents doing anything similar?
What's great about this is our president's accessibility. We all remember Bush being perceived as the guy people most wanted to have a beer with. While I think that was largely a press fiction, President Obama really is that kind of guy. He does "regular" stuff that people all across the country do, like fill out a bracket. To my mind this is the crucial part of his appeal. He's just like us.
As an aside, any upset possibilities you'd like to share? I don't know if I buy Syracuse over OK.
