AP President Barack Obama is eager to show British Prime Minister David Cameron some March Madness. Yes, a First Four game counts.
The pair will attend Tuesday’s Mississippi Valley State-Western Kentucky game in Dayton, Ohio. It’s not the game I’d showcase if possible, but hey, any Madness is better than no Madness. And Obama loves to take in a hoops game when he can.
“People – for all our differences politically, regionally, economically – most folks understand sports. Probably because it’s one of the few places where it’s a true meritocracy,” Obama said. “Ultimately, who’s winning, who’s losing, who’s performing, who’s not – it’s all laid out there.”
Obama also is scheduled to give a halftime interview with sportscaster Clark Kellogg, who interviewed the president during halftime of a Duke-Georgetown game in 2010.
Tip-off is 3:40 p.m. on truTV.

Now if he would just be amped to run our country. Actually, competence plays a big part in that too.

What a joke, but what you’d expect from the leftist MSNBC

Quit screwing around and actually do something productive! It reminds me of that SNL skit ripping on W. I’ll be there working for you 24/7. That’s 24 hours a week; 7 months a year.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if he could show off a bustling economy or a balanced budget…instead of a college basketball game?
What a joke!
