For the third straight year, President Obama has made public his NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracket, and this year the Democrat has gone conservative: His final four consists of the four number one seeds, Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.
Mr. Obama, perhaps sensitive to charges that he isn’t taking risks with his picks, noted in unveiling the bracket that he has never picked all #1 seeds before.
For the national champion, Mr. Obama selected Kansas – the same team he chose last year, and one that was upset in the second round on that tournament. He acknowledged that he “got hurt” with the Kansas pick last year but said he expected the team to make it up to him this year and beat Ohio State in the final.
The president acknoweldged he got “decimated” with his picks last year. Two years ago, the president correctly picked North Carolina as national champion.
