President Obama is picking two No. 1 seeds, as well as a pair of No. 4 seeds to advance to the Final Four in this year’s men’s college basketball championship tournament, he told ESPN.
The president’s final four includes defending champion Louisville, tournament favorite Florida, as well as top seed Arizona and perennial contender Michigan State.
The network has not yet revealed who the president predicted would win the tournament, or whether the normally conservative prognosticator-in-chief had broken with his chalk-heavy tendencies and picked some early-round upsets. The president’s full bracket will be revealed in an interview set to air Wednesday morning.

I do not know which is worse: that The Hill published this story or that he will be using this opportunity to promote “Obamacare”:
The White House is planning to use the president’s bracket to promote enrollment on the ObamaCare exchanges before the deadline at the end of the month. According to a White House official, the bracket will be featured on a White House webpage that also features the “16 Sweetest Reasons to Get Covered” squaring off in a tournament-style bracket.
As we face World War III, what kind of pResident has time for an ESPN interview but cannot attend security briefings? Who is really in control of the country?
