Yesterday, President Obama took some time to fill out his brackets for the 2012 NCAA men and women's basketball tournaments, and for the fourth time, ESPN was on hand to share his predictions with the country.
Last night, he even had the opportunity to watch bit of the early round action in person when he traveled to Dayton, Ohio with British Prime Minister David Cameron to watch Brigham Young University take on Iona and Western Kentucky play Mississippi Valley State.
The President has the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Kentucky Wildcats, the Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Mizzou Tigers in the Final Four.
His National Champion? The Tar Heels.
