The man got game

Say what you will about his politics, but President Barack Obama knows college hoops. His NCAA tourney bracket: Top 0.3% of all 5 million ESPN bracket pickers. Yowzer. My picks were blown out in the third round. Naturally, one of Andrew Sullivan readers on the Daily Dish couldn't resist dragging politics into it: "You get the sense that someone like John McCain's bracket would be filled with all upsets, and that Mitch McConnell would choose all the higher seeds. Most people aren't really able to switch back and forth between different mindsets as facilely as Obama." Well, this metaphor is probably a bridge too far. But when it comes to hoops, Mr. O is obviously da man. Heh.
