Barack fills out NCAA Brackets - so what? Eight years ago Bush was probably on vacation
that man took more fricking vacation when he started in the White House. All that vacation he ignored documents like "Terrorists to Hijack Planes and fly them in to US Buildings" which was sent to him at least a month before they actually did do that.

Taking 15 minutes out to fill out the NCAA tourament is just good clean fun. Looking at his picks it's clear that Obama did little research and and just put something together quick to say he did it (his choices were all very safe). Barack had his fun and is probably back to work right now.

1. Piss on the assholes who don't think Obama can take a few minutes to
fill out a stupid bracket.

2. Does anyone know if there is an 8 year calendar
showing all of bush's vacations? It would be interesting to track the comparison of the bush years and Obama's presidency.

I don't think that is what this is about.

4. Bush really wasn't into basketball.
IIRC, he was president of the Texas rangers, at least in form.

My guess is that Bush spent plenty of time with the sports sections studying the baseball stats and trying to figure them out.

6. remember the justification for bush's vacations....
he can work from anywhere he is. somehow that isn't the same for obama?? he's not on vacation... he's WORKING. going on Leno is him getting his message out. it's work. he's not pretending to clear brush at a ranch. he's not getting a PDB saying someone is going to attack us in the US and ignoring it. he's WORKING. as for the brackets.... who fucking cares. everyone knows he is a basketball fan. one might argue that he is helping the economy by exciting interest in the basketball tournament. duh. give me a damned break. obama can take five minutes to fill out brackets and still get more done than bush did in eight years.
