Oh man...I saw that on ESPN too. My whole bit, out the window! What's this moon landing you speak of?

I'm not sure exactly what it is you're trying to sell, but SportsCenter tonight had an extended segment with Obama filling in his bracket live on television, so I'm pretty sure these are his picks, unless of course ESPN faked the whole thing like the moon landing.

Why would which hand the person used to fill out the bracket have an effect on smudge marks? Lefties leave smudge marks as we write left to write...or filling out a bracket. Wouldn't that simply depend on the angle at which one holds their pen? Fair enough. I just tried 3 different angles to hold a pen...smudge mark each time. I guess you could say that smudge marks on the right side of the paper would indicate that a righty and not a lefty did this, but I see no smudge marks whatsoever. Right, no smudge marks...Obama is left handed...leftys leave smudge marks. I agree a righty filled this out...that righty is called Obama's intern/assistant. No smudge marks, just the disguise of Obama "changing his mind" on the pick. Are leftys just lazy when they write, constantly resting their hand on the paper? You're not a lefty, eh? Now, about this bag of shit you wanna buy from me....

I know! Anyone with sense knows Illinois will fall to Western Kentucky.

If anyone thinks these are the markings of Barack Obama then give me a call...I got some shit I'd like to sell you. I do love how the intern paid attention to detail...scratch offs...the question marks...very realistic. One thing...the President is left handed (like me!)...where are the smudge marks a southpaw leaves on a bracket? :-)

maybe he can predict when we'll get out of this fucking economic tailspin.
