Obama&#8217;s tournament picks were broadcast on ESPN each year during a <a href=\"https:\/\/espnpressroom.com\/us\/press-releases\/2016\/03\/barack-etology-president-obama-fills-out-final-mens-bracket-in-espn-exclusive-wednesday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">segment<\/a> called &#8220;Barack-etology.&#8221; Many observers have suggested this was one of the only things Obama actually enjoyed about being president, in addition to releasing annual playlists and book recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, Obama&#8217;s most recent bracket was an abomination, our analysis found.\u00a0The self-regarded genius had envisioned the Gonzaga Bulldogs defeating the Arizona Wildcats in tonight&#8217;s NCAA championship game, yet neither team advanced beyond the round of 16. Contrary to Obama&#8217;s wisdom, the North Carolina Tar Heels will face off against the Kansas Jayhawks on Monday for the national title. Kansas was the only team Obama correctly picked to make the Final Four, and one of just two teams (along with Villanova) he correctly picked to advance to the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n<p>In a poor display of judgment, the former president and documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/barackobama\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">narrator<\/a> chose Kentucky to advance to the Final Four. The perennially underperforming team was humiliated in the first round by Saint Peter&#8217;s, however, much in the same way that America was humiliated on the world stage during Obama&#8217;s failed presidency.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to narrating Netflix documentaries, Obama is currently writing volume two of his third memoir, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/guest-column-obama-birthday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partying<\/a> with celebs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10481075\/Scowling-Obama-inspects-new-multi-million-dollar-Hawaii-mansion-controversial-sea-wall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feuding<\/a> with his neighbors about the environmentally hazardous construction of his luxurious beachfront compound in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1580910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1045\" height=\"809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full.png 1045w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-1024x793.png 1024w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-768x595.png 768w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-736x570.png 736w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-634x491.png 634w, https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/obama-full-225x175.png 225w\" \/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics Self-regarded genius displayed poor judgment by selecting Kentucky to advance to Final Four  Andrew Stiles \u2022 April 4, 2022 11:48 am Former president Barack<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1417899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1417899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1417899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1417899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1417899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1417899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1417899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
