Reacting to news Obama picked North Carolina to win the NCAA Championship, Mike Krzyzewski says, "the economy is something that [the president] should focus on, probably more than the brackets."

P.G.

Yep, the Lady and I saw that too and wondered ....WTF???  Doesn't he have bigger issues to contend with   Like where to plant the presidential Pumpkin patch??   

[bb71challenger]

Yeah, studying the college hoops brackets is something he should do privately, he has many more pressing things to spend his time on.

I first thought the same thing. But dosen't he also deserve some "free" time to relax and enjoy his personel interest? I saw the interview on ESPN as he went through his bracket picks...............who knows what time of day it was recorded? I suspose the president dosen't have any "off" hours really but......................

I'm not attempting to "support" the man, I didn't vote for him. But at least he seems to be an OK guy, and hell he likes the Steelers, what more can ya ask

The world's problems aren't going to fix in 1 day, I think doing the bracket is fine, makes him like a normal person.

[torredcuda]

And no other President ever did anything but work?

[Stacked440]

Hmmm...makes him LIKE a normal person..you wait...it will come out eventually that hes a robot, its why he can't speak unless hes given "input" from the teleprompter

I am in no way an Obama fan, but cut the guy a little slack.  I am sure other presidents have had hobbies or interests.  Like someone else said, it reminds us that he is human (hopefully) as well.

Didn't Bush spend about 30 days of his first 6 months in office on vacation?  We would have been better off if he had spent the rest of his 8 years there.

At least the president is right... Go Carolina!!!!

That's what the Liberal press wanted everyone  to believe because they hated his guts from day 1. What would the press have done to GWB if he was bowling and talking about sports and doing the Leno show while that was happening? 

[bb71challenger]

I was kinda thinking myself that when Bush was taking a vacation the world was not spinning off its axis. I didnt see him taking any extended vacations or doing Leno during the 9/11 disaster. My post was wrong about Obama though, he does deserve time to be a regular human being. I can imagine its not an easy task to be President at this time in our history.

  I think he took more vacation time than any other president.

I guess making fun of people who are mentaly and physicly disabled makes you a "normal guy" too...

Yeah, now that you say it I am really surprised that little slip made it past all the media vultures.
