Obama will release March Madness brackets
@ 4:25 pm by Michael O'Brien
President Obama will release his March Madness brackets to the public, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday.
"We will, in a transparent White House, release the president's bracket next week," Gibbs said.
Obama, a well known fan of basketball, will have to wait until Sunday like all other Americans to fill out his bracket.
Different conferences are playing their tournaments throughout the weekend to determine which teams will receive an automatic bid to the 65-team NCAA field, and which teams will receive an at-large bid to the tournament.

Before the first May of his tenure, Bush blocked federal funding to international groups that counseled on abortion. He put forth legislation that pushed standardized testing and fiscal punishment for failing schools that could have used fiscal assistance. He put forth an initiative to give federal funding to religious groups whose beliefs matched his own. He sent a $1.6 trillion tax cut to Congress which all but eviscerated the budget surplus left by his predecessor. He did away with a proposal to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, and followed that up with a rejection of the Kyoto Treaty. A US Navy submarine piloted by Bush donors crashed through a Japanese fishing boat. A US spy plane collided with a Chinese fighter and crashed, delivering 24 Americans into Chinese custody for 11 days. Mr. Bush apologized to the Chinese for all the fuss and asked if the captive Americans all had bibles.
That kind of record pretty much speaks for itself.
President Obama is only a few days past halfway to the century mark, but has managed to amass an impressive record nonetheless. Since his inauguration, he has ordered the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center within the next year, ordered a comprehensive review of America's detention policies, and flatly declared that torture will no longer be tolerated.
He has enhanced the Freedom of Information Act and vowed greater transparency in the workings of government. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will help Americans receive the pay they deserve regardless of age, race or gender. He championed a massive stimulus package that will greatly assist every state and millions of American workers.
He created the Middle Class Task Force and the Economic Advisory Board to focus on stabilizing and enhancing the American economy. He established comprehensive restrictions on executive pay and bonuses. He signed the State Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (SCHIP), which offered insurance coverage to 11 million poor children. His Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan offered aid to millions of Americans who are in danger of losing their homes. By Executive Order, he established the White House Office of Urban Affairs, and signed another Executive Order making it harder for federal contractors to avoid using union labor.
Obama signed an Executive Order curbing the "loot and run" environmental deregulation orders signed by Bush just before he left office. He signed another Executive Order lifting Bush's ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. He tasked the Department of Energy to require higher efficiency standards for all household appliances. He re-reversed the Gag Rule policy on federal funding for clinics that counsel on abortion. He signed a memorandum that directed more than $20 million for "urgent refugee and migration needs" in Gaza. His half-a-loaf Iraq withdrawal plan, for all its myriad flaws, will remove tens of thousands of American troops from that war zone within the next two years.
All that in 50 days?
