Obama's Kiss of Death: Final Four Comes Up Empty

Everything the guy touches turns to dust. Maybe next year ESPN can have a guy who knows something on 24/7 to talk hoops.

The president's bracket is a bust.

President Barack Obama went 0 for 2 in the NCAA tournament Saturday when Kentucky and Kansas State lost in the regional finals, knocking out his two remaining picks for the Final Four.

In his ESPN.com bracket, Obama predicted that Kansas, Villanova, Kentucky and Kansas State would reach the Final Four. Kansas and Villanova were upset in the second round, then Kentucky and Kansas State went down Saturday.

Kentucky, the top seed in the East Regional, was beaten 73-66 by second-seeded West Virginia. Kansas State, the No. 2 seed in the West Regional, lost 63-56 to No. 5 Butler.

In all fairness I haven't done much better, although I did pick West Virginia to reach the championship game.
