President Obama s Bracket

President Barack Obama’s bracket, there’s a 50 percent chance the national champion will come from the Sunflower State.

U.S. President Barack Obama has a “standing offer” to join CBS for its telecast of college basketball’s men’s tournament, network executive Sean McManus said.

The CBS Corp. network contacted the White House to ask whether Obama would fill out a 65-team bracket or otherwise participate in coverage of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.

Obama, an avid basketball fan and recreational player, sat in with CBS commentators Clark Kellogg and Verne Lundquist for six minutes of commentary during a game between Georgetown University and Duke on Jan. 30, also appealing for contributions to Haiti’s earthquake recovery.

After Obama described one player’s spin move and score, Kellogg, the network’s lead basketball color analyst, said Obama could have a career in broadcasting.
