Obama vs. Coach K (Week 10)

I think that it was absolutely ridiculous for Coach K to call out Obama on his NCAA bracket picks. I mean honestly, how old are we? Just because Obama doesn't have Duke going as far as Coach K would like does not give him the right to call out Obama. This simply makes Coach K look like an immature child who is throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't like what his daddy told him. I think that Coach K should look beyond this unneceeasry quagmire and look rather to his team. If it really does bother him so much, then he needs to focus on his basketball team and prove Obama wrong. Coach K and the Blue Devils should take this as motivation and thank President Obama.
Moroever, I think that it was good that Obama filled out a bracket. It makes him seem like a presonable president. He appears then to be a leader that can relate to the common people. Nothing brings boys and men, the powerful and the common citizen, Republicans and Democrats together like sports. Sadly though, it seems as though Preseident Obama will always be under public scrutiny. Not everyone will alwyas be happy with his decisions, even decisions as minute as NCAA picks.
