President Obama picks Tar Heels

President Barack Obama is going back to Carolina in his NCAA tournament bracket.

The president, who correctly picked North Carolina to win the 2009 NCAA championship, has the Tar Heels as the team to beat in his 2012 bracket, which was unveiled Wednesday.

Obama has North Carolina beating Kentucky, the overall No. 1 seed, in the title game. Ohio State and Missouri are his other Final Four selections.

"I am going with North Carolina getting revenge for the regular season victory (Kentucky beat the Heels in December)," Obama said. "They are an older team more of experienced team. I think Kentucky is unbelievably talented, but I think (guard Kendall) Marshalls' play -- (forward Tyler) Zellers' play -- I see North Carolina winning it all."

We have beaten the Tarheels when our players hardly knew each others names.
Why would a Kenyan know shit about basketball anyway? (Oh shit Richard, they will catch on that after all these years I am a plant for the baggers)
To rephrase. What the fuck would a Hawaiian know about basketball?

Go Big Blue.
