"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said from the Blue Devils' first-round site in Greensboro, N.C.
Coach J (as in "ackass") responds to President Obama picking UNC to win the NCAA tourney. He later complained about the President's attempt to chew gum and walk at the same time before going on an extended rant about all the time he wastes eating breakfast.
Interestingly enough, this little ditty has me rooting for the Dukies. If they win it all, then I'm sure Coach J will be perfectly understanding when they aren't invited to the White House for a photo-op. After all, the President is a busy man.
PS: Perhaps Coach J should show Mr. Obama some more (Reggie) Love.
UPDATE: This is what you get when you use a link from Fox News. The "said with a laugh" part was left out of the original link. Funny, Fox didn't feel it necessary to include that. Although, to be fair, I didn't put this link up because of politics. I simply can't stand Duke and I was hoping to set up some good jokes should the Gophs win against Texas. I apologize to our readers for the bad link. We would never try and mislead you and even though I was only going for humor, I should have known better to trust a single-sourced Fox News clip. My apologies.

Pop, you got suckered
Coach K said nice things about Obama too, but the source of the quote was Fox News and they lost most of it in their race to stir things up.
It’s always jarring when a news network presents false information like this. A partia quote that’s completely reversed when placed in context is the lowest form of character assassination. Why do people watch Fox News liars?
Stupid Fox News...
….I heard it on the radio and then Googled it. Here’s a link with a time line for correction:

To be perfectly honest, this link didn’t have anything to do with politics. It has everything to do with me thinking Coach J is a jackass. I think I’ve established that here before ;)

I didn't see a laugh from Coach K
he seemed pretty sullen and dickish.
As another Obama note:
He should take shit to no end about his nonsensical comments about the Special Olympics. I don’t think I can remember a President making a Special Olympics joke before. Unbelievable.

also..
….last week’s GOP talking point of Obama doing too much will quickly be jettisoned in favor of 1-2 days of talking about a bad joke. Sweet Jesus I hate our political discourse.

hey I was just talking to secretarykissinger about this
but do you watch the Lehrer news hour? It is so good, they just had a report on poverty among kids in Pomona, I think that’s California, really well done. I swear I’ve never seen a news show as good as that anywhere, puts the Cdn news to shame
