Obama challenges America to compete (on hoops brackets)

3/13/2012

The prez has filled in his brackets for both the men's and women's NCAA tourneys and is asking his fellow Americans to compete with him on forecasting college hoops. The sleight of hand? You need to fill out the brackets on the president's campaign website.

Go ahead and give it a try, GOP hopefuls.
