Obama Jinx Continues: His Bracket is Busted

I guess we no longer have to suffer him on ESPN any longer. Well, at least for this year. Having gone out on a limb and lamely picked all No. 1 seeds to advance to the Final Four, he's crashed and burned as Kansas was defeated decisively by Virginia Commonwealth this afternoon.

Bye bye, Barry.

There was some pre-emptive lamenting over at The Hill today.

Despite his bracket's recent downturn Obama remains in the 97th percentile of all brackets submitted on NYTimes.com, though that figure may drop should the Jayhawks fail to win the national title as he has predicted.
